Kungsaengena Tedersoo gen. nov.

Type species.

Kungsaengena shadiae Tedersoo.

Description.

Covers the monophyletic group in Kungsaengenaceae (Fig. 2 ). Phylogenetically delimited as the least inclusive clade covering sequence accessions EUK 1603402 and EUK 1602136 (Suppl. material 3).

Notes.

Figure 2. Phylogenetic position of genera and genus-level groups of Endogonomycetes based on Maximum Likelihood analysis of SSU- 5.8 S-LSU sequences. 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.
