Camarosporium arezzoensis on Cytisus sp., an addition to sexual state of Camarosporium sensu stricto

Abstract EN

During a study of saprobic fungi from Bagno di Cetica Province, Italy, we collected a pleosporoid ascomycete on stems of Cytisus sp.

In morphology, our collection is similar to Cucurbitaria species, but molecular analysis of SSU, LSU and ITS genes reveals it can be referred to Camarosporium.

In this study we compare all other Cucurbitaria species from Cytisus sp.

and based on both morphology and molecular data, we introduce our collection as a new species in Camarosporium viz.

C.

arezzoensis.
