Description

Herpotrichia Fuckel

Notes.

The diverse genus Herpotrichia was established by Fuckel (1868) to include two species, H. rhenana and H. rubi, but without designating a type species. Thus, Bose (1961) assigned H. rhenana as the lectotype. Subsequently, Holm (1979) assigned H. herpotrichoides (synonymous with H. rubi) as the generic type (Cannon 1982). The species have erumpent to superficial ascomata, clavate to cylindrical asci with hyaline to pale brown, 1 - septate ascospores (Sivanesan 1984; Tian et al. 2015). The asexual morph is pyrenochaeta-like with or without setae on the surface of the pycnidia (Sivanesan 1984; Hongsanan et al. 2020). Herpotrichia species have been reported as saprobes, mostly in dead wood substrates in 34 plant families (Fig. 10).
