Lehetuaceae Tedersoo fam. nov.

Type genus.

Lehetua Tedersoo.

Description.

Covers the monophyletic group in Lehetuales (Fig. 2 ). Phylogenetically delimited as the least inclusive clade covering sequence accessions EUK 1603180, EUK 1602375 and EUK 1602377 (Suppl. material 3).

Notes.

Recognised based on eDNA sequences only. Currently includes Lehetua and another potentially genus-level group that is represented by sequences EUK 1602869 (GSMc plot G 4531, Picea abies forest soil in Selisoo, Estonia, 57.621658 ° N, 27.179296 ° E) and EUK 1603296 (GSMc plot S 590, Populus tremula forest soil in Lehetu, Estonia, 59.01857 ° N, 24.28041 ° E); and unassigned sequences EUK 0025664 (GSMc plot G 5536, tropical rainforest soil in Bamboesi, Suriname, 5.54086 ° N, - 54.03131 ° E) and EUK 0030289 (GSMc plot AV 120, tropical rainforest soil in El Zafire, Colombia, - 3.9997 ° N, 69.8947 ° E).

Figure 2. Phylogenetic position of genera and genus-level groups of Endogonomycetes based on Maximum Likelihood analysis of SSU- 5.8 S-LSU sequences. The clades are collapsed, with the number of sequences included in parentheses. Question marks above branches indicate low ultra-rapid bootstrap support (< 95). Orders are highlighted in different colours. The uncollapsed phylogram is given in Suppl. material 3.
