Aldinomycetaceae Tedersoo fam. nov.

Type genus.

Aldinomyces Tedersoo .

Diagnosis.

Distinguishable from other fungi based on diagnostic nucleotide signatures in SSU V 9 (positions 1686–1695 tagcgatagg in S. cerevisiae ; no mismatch allowed) and ITS 2 (positions 125–137 gcaacatartaat in type species; one mismatch allowed). Forms a monophyletic, least inclusive clade in Aldinomycetales, covering sequences EUK 1205365 , EUK 1124394 , EUK 0529911 , and EUK 0529884 (Fig. 1 ).

Notes.

Recognized based on eDNA sequences only. Includes Aldinomyces (gen. nov.) and potentially genus-level taxa represented by sequences JX 898614 (cave debris in NY, USA) and EUK 0529884 (grassland soil in Estonia).

Figures

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.
