Diversity and Host Relationships of the Mycoparasite <i>Sepedonium</i> (Hypocreales, Ascomycota) in Temperate Central Chile

We present the first major survey of regional diversity, distribution and host-association of <i>Sepedonium</i>. Whereas the rather scarce worldwide records of this mycoparasitic fungus suggested no specific distribution pattern of most species before, we provide new evidence of endemic...

Diversity and Host Relationships of the Mycoparasite <i>Sepedonium</i> (Hypocreales, Ascomycota) in Temperate Central Chile
description We present the first major survey of regional diversity, distribution and host-association of <i>Sepedonium</i>. Whereas the rather scarce worldwide records of this mycoparasitic fungus suggested no specific distribution pattern of most species before, we provide new evidence of endemic and specific host-parasite guilds of <i>Sepedonium</i> in Southern South America, including the description of a new species. The corresponding inventory was performed in temperate central Chile. The regional landscape, a mosaic of exotic timber plantations and remnants of native <i>Nothofagus</i> forests, facilitates a unique combination of endemic and adventitious Boletales hosts. During a two-year survey, 35 <i>Sepedonium</i> strains were isolated and cultured from infected basidiomata of allochthonous <i>Chalciporus piperatus</i>, <i>Paxillus involutus</i>, <i>Rhizopogon</i> spp. and <i>Suillus</i> spp., as well as from the native <i>Boletus loyita</i>, <i>B. loyo</i>, <i>B. putidus</i> and <i>Gastroboletus valdivianus</i>.
