Abstract
An anamorphic fungus forming laterally attached, cupulate, gelatinous, hyaline to white conidiomata producing bulbils from clamped hyphae was collected on dead bamboo culms in southwestern China. Though the conidiomatal morphology is similar to that of Dacryoscyphus (anamorphic Dacrymycetales), microscopical and DNA sequence analysis revealed a phylogenetic relationship with members of the Auriculariales. The taxon is therefore described as new and separate from Dacryoscyphus. It is also distinct from other recognized bulbilliferous basidiomycetes. Two recently described anamorphic Dacrymyces species, D. pinacearum and D. subarcticus, were restudied and are transferred to Dacryoscyphus.
