Toxicocladosporium crousianum and T. eucalyptorum, two new foliar fungi associated with Eucalyptus trees

In 2007, Toxicocladosporium was established as new dematiaceous fungal genus in the family Cladosporiaceae that includes numerous plant pathogenic, epiphytic, endophytic, and saprobic fungi. A subsequent investigation on members of leaf-inhabiting fungi in Iran resulted in the identification of two...

Description
Summary:In 2007, Toxicocladosporium was established as new dematiaceous fungal genus in the family Cladosporiaceae that includes numerous plant pathogenic, epiphytic, endophytic, and saprobic fungi. A subsequent investigation on members of leaf-inhabiting fungi in Iran resulted in the identification of two new species belonging to the genus Toxicocladosporium associated with Eucalyptus leaves, described here as T. crousianum and T. eucalyptorum spp. nov. These novel taxa form independent lineages distinct from other taxa, based on morphological and multi-locus phylogenetic analyses. Detailed descriptions and illustrations of these two new taxa are presented. Additionally, the genus Toxicocladosporium represents a new fungal record for Iran.
