Understanding the origin of this diversity depends on a clearer elucidation of the phylogenetic relationships of fungi in the order. One of its core members is the genus Marchandiomyces, originally established for lichen pathogens that form orange or coral-colored bulbils. We describe here a new species in the genus, M. marsonii sp. nov., which is unusual in its appearance, habit and geographic provenance. It is foliicolous on leaves of Pandanus (Screw pines, Pandanaceae) and produces flattened, coral-colored bulbils resembling apothecia of the ascomycete genus Orbilia. It is also the first member of the genus to be collected from Australia. An isolate of the new fungus, and several additional cultures of related fungi, were obtained and investigated phylogenetically using parsimony, likelihood and Bayesian analyses of nuclear small and large subunit ribosomal sequences. Our phylogeny makes clear that Marchandiomyces species and their close relatives contribute significantly to the ecological diversity of the Corticiales, which is apparently derived mainly from lignicolous ancestors.} }
