Moostea Tedersoo gen. nov.

Type species.

Moostea stephanieae Tedersoo.

Description.

Covers the monophyletic group in Moosteaceae (Fig. 2 ). Phylogenetically delimited as the least inclusive clade covering sequence accessions EUK 1604044, EUK 1103239 and EUK 1600287 (Suppl. material 3).

Notes.

The ITS sequences are poorly alignable because of long deletions and inserts in certain species. Based on ITS sequences, Moostea is comprised of 25–30 species, some of which are represented by sequences EUK 1103239 (tropical rainforest soil in El Yunque, Puerto Rico, 18.29 ° N, - 65.78 ° E); EUK 1603515 (GSMc plot G 5835, airfield soil in Ridali, Estonia, 57.93692 ° N, 26.98099 ° E); and EUK 0014332 (GSMc plot S 1225, grassland soil in Ayapel, Colombia, 8.27825 ° N, - 75.1257 ° E).

The clades are collapsed, with the number of sequences included in parentheses. Question marks above branches indicate low ultra-rapid bootstrap support (< 95). Orders are highlighted in different colours. The uncollapsed phylogram is given in Suppl. material 3.
