Mycosphere Notes 521–571: A special edition of fungal biodiversity to celebrate Kevin D. Hyde's 70th birthday and his exceptional contributions to Mycology

This special edition of Mycosphere Notes commemorates the 70th birthday of Kevin D. Hyde, a seminal figure in fungal taxonomy whose work has profoundly influenced the study of fungal diversity and classification. In this paper, we provide entries on a new genus, 41 new species, five new geographical records, six new host records, and a new habitat record across 42 families, 22 orders, eight classes, and two phyla, continuing the invaluable work of Kevin D. Hyde in advancing our understanding of fungal biodiversity and distribution. The fungal species introduced in this paper were found as endophytes, epiphytes, pathogens, and saprobes on plant material and litter substrates across diverse ecosystems, including terrestrial, freshwater, and cave habitats in Brazil, China, India, the Philippines, Thailand, and Uzbekistan. Species boundaries were meticulously determined based on a rigorous process of morphological characteristics and molecular phylogenetic analysis, ensuring the accuracy of species delimitation. Heterohelminthosporium is introduced as the new genus in Massarinaceae, Pleosporales and the newly described 41 species are Allocryptovalsa hydei, Amorocoelophoma hydei, Annulohypoxylon hydei, Brunnipila hydei, Candolleomyces aliensis, Candolleomyces hydei, Ceramothyrium hydei, Corynespora hydei, Coryneum hydei, Crepidotus yunnanensis, Dacrymyces undulatomarginatus, Diaporthe hydei, Diorygma hydei, Distoseptispora monospora, Heterohelminthosporium hydei, Hevansia hydei, Hysterobrevium hydei, Keraliethelia hydei, Laccaria flavumbilicatus, Laccaria hydei, Lomaantha guizhouensis, Melomastia hydei, Microdochium guizhouensis, Muyocopron cavernae, Neoheleiosa hydei, Neottiosporina imperatae, Nigrospora guangdongense, Nigrosynnema hydei, Ophioceras hydei, Ophiocordyceps bannaensis, Orbilia longispora, Ostropomyces hydei, Periconia hydei, Phaeoseptum kunmingensis, Pseudosporidesmium hydei, Roussoella hydei, Stilbocrea hydei, Stilbocrea yunnanensis, Trichoderma hydei, Xylochrysis hydei, and Zasmidium hydei. Notably, one species was discovered in the air within a cave habitat. In addition, Favolaschia variistipitata and Hermatomyces indicus are reported as a new geographical record, and Comoclathris pimpinellae, Corynespora cassiicola, Dothiora sorbi, and Pseudocercospora snelliana are reported as new host records. Allodiatrype elaeidicola and Fusarium guangdongense are reported as new host and geographical records, and Leptobacillium coffeanum is reported as a new geographical and habitat record. We provide new molecular data for all collected species and updated phylogenetic trees, spanning multiple phyla, classes, orders, and families. This study highlights the expanding diversity of fungi and represents Kevin D. Hyde’s global collaborations in Mycology. We respectfully pay tribute to Kevin D. Hyde’s invaluable contributions to mycology, which have significantly advanced our understanding of fungal diversity.

In this paper, we provide entries on a new genus, 41 new species, five new geographical records, six new host records, and a new habitat record across 42 families, 22 orders, eight classes, and two phyla, continuing the invaluable work of Kevin D.
