Abstract: A selection of Geomyces and allies isolates that are included in previously published phylogenetic analyses are described as new to science including one new genus, Parageomyces, and twenty-two new species, Geomyces volkii, Leuconeurospora clavispora, L. neobotryoides, Parageomyces verrucisporus, Pseudogeomyces fodinicola, P. pseudopannorum, P. uniguttulatus, Pseudogymnoascus anonintronus, P. craniiformis, P. dimorphosporus, P. lanosogriseus, P. neopannorum, P. nivalis, P. nordquistiae, P. pararoseus, P. periglacialis, P. roseodyscritus, P. roseogriseus, P. roseotinctus, P. solaris, P. ventus, and Solomyces solicola. Most of these fungi were isolated from soil from bat hibernacula in eastern North America. Data and images from studies on fungal cultures and microscopic characters are presented. Distinguishing characters of DNA sequence data are included in descriptions and discussed.
Unlike speciose fungal genera that are also commonly isolated from soil like Aspergillus P. Micheli ex Haller and Penicillium Link, Geomyces Traaen has until relatively recently been treated as an anamorphic genus with a small number of species that is linked to the teleomorphic genus Pseudogymnoascus Raillo (Sigler & Carmichael, 1976; van Oorschot, 1980) […]
