Description

Melanomma Nitschke ex Fuckel

Notes.

Melanomma was validly established by Fuckel (1870) with M. pulvis-pyrius as the type species. These species have cosmopolitan distribution worldwide and characterised in having carbonaceous ascomata and hyaline or brown, 2–3 - septate ascospores (Tian et al. 2015; Crous et al. 2020). The asexual morph can be either coelomycetes or hyphomycetes (Hyde et al. 2011). Currently, 94 species are accepted in this genus (Species Fungorum 2024) and have been reported from 39 plant families (Fig. 10).
