Abstract

Featuring a high level of taxon sampling across Ascomycota, we evaluate a multi-gene phylogeny and propose a novel order and class in Ascomycota. We describe two new taxa, Geoglossomycetes and Geoglossales, to host three earth tongue genera: Geoglossum, Trichoglossum, and Sarcoleotia as a lineage of ?Leotiomyceta?. Correspondingly, we confirm that these genera are not closely related to the genera Neolecta, Mitrula, Cudonia, Microglossum, Thuemenidum, Spathularia, and Bryoglossum, all of which have been previously placed within the Geoglossaceae. We also propose a non-hierarchical system for naming well-resolved nodes, such as ?Saccharomyceta?, ?Dothideomyceta?, and ?Sordariomyceta? for supraordinal nodes, within the current phylogeny, acting as rankless taxa. As part of this revision, the continued use of ?Leotiomyceta?, now as a rankless taxon, is proposed.
