Treatment

Viscospora deserticola (Trappe, Bloss & J. A. Menge) Tedersoo & Magurno comb. nov.

Glomus deserticola Trappe, Bloss & J. A. Menge View in CoL , Mycotaxon 20 (1): 123 (1984). Basionym.

Blaszkowskia deserticola (Trappe, Bloss & J. A. Menge) Oehl & G. A. Silva , Mycol. Progr. 22 (11, no. 74): 5 (2023). Synonym.

Description.

See Trappe et al. (1984).

Diagnosis.

Subtending hyphae pigmented over long distances (> 100 μm) unlike in other species of Viscospora and Septoglomus . Differs from other species of Viscospora by spore colour ( da Silva et al. 2023).

Notes.

Transferred from Blaszkowskia to Viscospora because of phylogenetic nestedness within Viscospora and recognition as a separate genus would render Viscospora paraphyletic and leave many orphan taxa in the Septoglomus - Viscospora clade (Suppl. material 1; da Silva et al. (2023)).
