Abstract

The monotypic lichen-forming genus Ingvariella was segregated from Diploschistes based on exciple morphology, and placed within the family Thelotremataceae (Ostropales). However, the I+ hymenium and amyloid ascus wall suggest affinities to families other than the Thelotremataceae. To assess the identity of the genus Ingvariella and to investigate its placement within the Ostropales, we inferred phylogenetic relationships of this genus based on mtSSU rDNA and nuLSU rDNA sequences for 60 additional species encompassing a broad array of ostropalean fungi by using Bayesian, maximum likelihood and weighted maximum parsimony methods. Here we confirm the identity of the genus Ingvariella and its relationship to the family Stictidaceae, sister to the genus Cryptodiscus. These results expand the broad ecological diversity of the Stictidaceae, where saprotrophic fungi, corticicolous lichen-forming fungi, and species that occur both as lichenized and non-lichenized have previously been described, being the first rock inhabiting genus. New insights into the relationships among the other families within the Ostropales are also presented.
