Abstract

Geodendron araucarioides gen. et sp. nov. and Geodendron hydrophobum sp. nov., two new terricolous anamorphs linked to the genus Tuber according to molecular phylogenetic analysis are described. Nuclear ribosomal DNA (nrDNA) sequences including the ITS regions and the D1 and D2 domains of the LSU identify the anamorphs as nested within the species group of minor white truffles. Geodendron araucarioides is strictly related to Tuber borchii, Geodendron hydrophobum is linked to Tuber oligospermum. The affinity of the two new Geodendron anamorphs to the genus Tuber is confirmed by the comparative analysis of five Geodendron collections from four sampling sites. Ectomycorrhizae with characteristic features of Tuber borchii ectomycorrhizae were found in the soil volume collected with one sample of Geodendron araucarioides. A nrDNA sequence amplified from these ectomycorrhizae is identical with the corresponding anamorph sequence, suggesting an ectomycorrhizal status of Geodendron araucarioides. The possible role of the newly discovered anamorphs in the Tuber life cycle and the potential significance of anamorphs for the propagation of ectomycorrhizal fungi are discussed.
