A Reassessment of Two Freshwater Ascomycetes, Ceriospora caudae-suis and Submersisphaeria aquatica

Campbell J, Shearer CA, Crane JL, Fallah PM. 2003. A Reassessment of Two Freshwater Ascomycetes, Ceriospora caudae-suis and Submersisphaeria aquatica. Mycologia. 95(1):41-53

Ceriospora caudae-suis and Submersisphaeria aquatica, txro freshwater pyrenomycetes reported infrequently since their original description, occur commonly on submerged woody debris in the USA. Based on analyses of 28s rDNA sequence data and morphology, both species belong in the Annulatascaceae. Cmospora caudaesuis is transferred to Pseudoproboscispora, a genus in the Annulatascaceae with similar overall morphology and ecology. Submersisphaeria aquatica is redescribed and illustrated based on additional collections.
