Didymosphaeriaceae

	Didymosphaeriaceae The Didymosphaeriaceae are a family of fungi in the order Pleosporales. The family was erected by Anders Munk in 1953. Taxa have a cosmopolitan distribution, and are saprobic in both woody and herbaceous plants. Some species are parasitic on other fungi. The validity of the family as a distinct taxonomic unit was questioned in a 2014 publication that suggested that the genera '' Appendispora'', '' Phaeodothis'', '' Roussoella'', and ''Verruculina'' should be moved into other families. The type genus is ''Didymosphaeria'', circumscribed by Karl Wilhelm Gottlieb Leopold Fuckel in 1870. Genera According to the 2022 version of ''Outline of Fungi and fungus-like taxa'', the Didymosphaeriaceae contains 33 genera and about 254 species. '' Alloconiothyrium'' – 1 sp. '' Austropleospora'' – 1 sp. ''Barria'' – 1 sp. '' Bimuria'' – 1 sp. '' Chromolaenicola'' – 6 spp. ''Curreya'' – 2 spp. '' Cylindroaseptospora'' – 2 spp. '' Deniquelata'' – 2 spp. '' Did ...

	Pleosporales The Pleosporales is the largest order in the fungal class Dothideomycetes. By a 2008 estimate it contains 23 families, 332 genera and more than 4700 species. The majority of species are saprobes on decaying plant material in fresh water, marine, or terrestrial environments, but several species are also associated with living plants as parasites, epiphytes or endophytes. The best studied species cause plant diseases on important agricultural crops e.g. '' Cochliobolus heterostrophus'', causing southern corn leaf blight on maize, '' Phaeosphaeria nodorum'' (''Stagonospora nodorum'') causing glume blotch on wheat and '' Leptosphaeria maculans'' causing a stem canker (called blackleg) on cabbage crops (''Brassica''). Some species of Pleosporales occur on animal dung and a small number occur as lichens and rock-inhabiting fungi. Taxonomy The order was proposed in 1955 as Dothideomycetes with perithecioid ascomata with pseudoparaphyses amongst the asci, at which time there were s ...

	Verruculina ''Verruculina'' is a monotypic genus of fungi in the family Didymosphaeriaceae. This is a marine fungus with carbonaceous, clypeate and papillate fruiting bodies with elongated, bitunicate asci, with eight brown, uniseptate ascospores with germ pore at the ends. This species lives on branches and twigs at both low and high water marks. It is one of the most dominant marine fungi to colonise woody mangrove A mangrove is a shrub or tree that grows in coastal saline water, saline or brackish water. The term is also used for tropical coastal vegetation consisting of such species. Mangroves are taxonomically diverse, as a result of convergent evoluti ... substrata. A former species found in 2008 ''Verruculina sigmatospora'' was found to be a synonym of '' Lichenoverruculina sigmatospora'' .

	Anders Munk Anders Munk (born 1922 in Kolding – died June 1989 in Copenhagen) was a Danish mycologist. He was an expert of the fungal group colloquially known as the Pyrenomycetes, and best known for his 1957 work "Danish Pyrenomycetes". Biography Munk's introduction to mycology was from Poul Larsen, who was previously a teacher and a former colleague of Munk's parents. Around that time Munk also made contact with biologist Øjvind Winge, who introduced Munk to the Pyrenomycetes, which were also his own main interest. Munk started studying botany at the University of Copenhagen in 1940. His interest in the fungi was further enhanced after reading John Axel Nannfeldt's 1932 work on the morphology and systematics of the discomycetes. Munk worked for some summers at the then-newly started , where he increased his knowledge about the ecology of the Pyrenomycetes. After graduating in 1946, Munk got a short-term job at Løvens Kemiske Fabrik (now LEO Pharma). He did not enjoy the work (manufa ...

	Curreya ''Curreya'' is a genus of fungi in the family Cucurbitariaceae. The genus name of ''Curreya'' is in honour of Frederick Currey (1819 - 1881), a British botanist and Secretary of the Linnean Society between 1860 - 1880. The genus was circumscribed In geometry, the circumscribed circle or circumcircle of a polygon is a circle that passes through all the vertices of the polygon. The center of this circle is called the circumcenter and its radius is called the circumradius. Not every polyg ... by Pier Andrea Saccardo in Syll. Fung. Vol.2 on page 651 in 1883.
