Description

Cladosporium macadamiae Prasannath, Akinsanmi & R. G. Shivas, (2021)

Typification.

AUSTRALIA • Queensland, Nambour, isol. from flower blight of Macadamia integrifolia (Proteaceae), Sep. 2019, O. A. Akinsanmi (holotype BRIP 72269 a, includes ex-type culture).

Description and illustration.

See Prasannath et al. (2021).

Material examined.

BRAZIL • Goiás state, Mambaí municipality, Lapa do Penhasco cave, isol. from soil, May 2023, coll. J. F. S. A. Prazeres, E. O. Fonseca & J. D. P. Bezerra, isol. J. F. S. A. Prazeres (isolate FCCUFG 67), Lapa do Córrego das Dores cave, isol. from air by E. O. Fonseca (isolate FCCUFG 116), and Lapa da Cachoeira do Funil cave, isol. from air by E. O. Fonseca (isolate FCCUFG 135).

Notes.

Cladosporium macadamiae (C. cladosporioides SC) was introduced by Prasannath et al. (2021) from isolates associated with grey and green mould symptoms on macadamia flowers in Australia. In the present study, three isolates obtained from the air and soil of three caves formed a well-supported clade with the ex-type strain of C. macadamiae (Figs 3, 9), constituting the first report of this species from a Brazilian cave (found at sampling points both inside and outside the caves).
