Abstract
The fungal genus Diatrype, belonging to the family Diatrypaceae, Xylariales, Sordariomycetes, was explored during a study conducted in the Andaman Islands, India, from 2015 to 2018. Six fungi belonging to the genus Diatrype were identified, including D. buteae M.S. Patil & S.D. Patil, D. ilicina Lar. N. Vassiljeva & S.L. Stephenson, D. stigma (Hoffm.) Fr, D. stigmaoides Kauffman, D. subundulata Lar. N. Vassiljeva & H.X. Ma, and D. syzygii Narendra & V.G. Rao. These findings represent new records of these fungal species from the Andaman Islands, India. This paper provides detailed morphological descriptions and illustrations of these species.
Plain Language Summary
During a four-year survey (2015–2018) in India’s Andaman Islands, researchers studied a group of fungi known as Diatrype. They successfully identified six different species that had never been previously recorded in this region. This discovery is a new contribution to the known fungal diversity of the islands. To help other scientists, the research paper provides detailed descriptions and illustrations of these newly found fungi, officially documenting their presence and appearance. This work expands our understanding of the unique ecosystems found in the Andaman Islands.
