Abstract

A Dacryopinax species that was cultured in Costa Rica and fruited readily in the laboratory provided the first genomic sequence for the Dacryomycetes. Here we characterize the isolate morphologically and cytologically and name it D. primogenitus. Molecular sequences from the nuclear large subunit gene and internal transcribed spacer indicated that it is closely related to the South American D. indacocheae with which it agrees structurally. Both species form conidia on the basidiocarp and D. primogenitus also forms them on the mycelium. Unlike previously reports for the Dacrymycetales postmeiotic nuclear division results in uninucleate basidiospores and six residual nuclei in the basidium after spore discharge. Ultrastructural analysis shows the characteristic septal pore apparatus for the class and endogenous origin of the epibasidia/sterigmata, which may be a common occurrence in Dacrymycetes and the early diverging orders of its sister class, the Agaricomycetes.
