Solivorax Tedersoo gen. nov.

Type species.

Solivorax pantropicus Tedersoo .

Diagnosis.

Distinguishable from other fungi based on a diagnostic nucleotide signature in ITS 2 (positions 85–102 in type species gtaccgctaagtttaagc; one mismatch allowed). Forms a monophyletic, least inclusive clade in Solivoracaceae, covering sequences UDB 014650 , EUK 1124454 , EUK 1216854 , EUK 1216849 , and OQ 687309 (Figs 1 , 14 ).

Notes.

Recognized based on eDNA sequences only. Comprises about 60 species represented by sequences EUK 1124454 (forest soil in Estonia), EUK 1216854 (forest soil in Czechia), EUK 1216849 (wetland soil in Estonia), OQ 687309 (lake water in MI, USA), EUK 0484219 (forest soil in Thailand), KX 514861 (rainwater in China), EUK 0331291 ( woodland soil in Brazil), EUK 0331301 (forest soil in Czechia), and EUK 0484210 (grassland soil in Estonia).

Figure 1. Maximum Likelihood SSU- 5.8 S-LSU phylogram indicating placement of novel lineages in the fungal kingdom as highlighted in a coloured shade and red font. Previously described taxonomic clades are collapsed. All branches of Sumavosporidiomycetes and Gelotisporidiomycetes are shortened two-fold. Poorly supported branches with bootstrap values below 95 % / 99 % are indicated in blue. The original tree with bootstrap values and uncollapsed branches is indicated in Suppl. material 1.

Maximum Likelihood SSU- ITS - LSU phylogram indicating the position of Algovorax scenedesmi and Solivorax pantropicus within Algovoracomycetes, with ultra-rapid bootstrap values indicated (for higher-level classifications mainly). Other genus-level groups are collapsed. Monoblepharomycota spp. were used as an outgroup.
