Abstract

Currently, the fungal phylum Entorrhizomycota comprises solely the genus Entorrhiza, whose species cause galls in the roots of members of Cyperaceae and Juncaceae. Given the similar morphology and ecology of Talbotiomyces calosporus compared to species of Entorrhiza, we investigated whether it might be an unidentified member of the Entorrhizomycota. Our rDNA data showed that Talbotiomyces is a close relative of Entorrhiza and both taxa form a highly supported monophyletic group. Based on molecular phylogenetic analyses and in correspondence with existing morphological and ecological data, Entorrhiza and Talbotiomyces reflect a deep dichotomy within the Entorrhizomycota. While species of Entorrhiza are characterized by dolipores and occur on monocot host plants, members of Talbotiomyces are characterized by simple pores and are associated with eudicot host plants. This expands the host range of the recently described Entorrhizomycota from the Poales to the angiosperms. Therefore higher taxa are proposed here: Talbotiomycetales ord. nov. and Talbotiomycetaceae fam. nov. to accommodate Talbotiomyces.
