2.5.7 Hypoxylon teeravasati

Hypoxylon teeravasati was introduced by Devadatha et al. (in Phookamsak et al. 2019) on decaying wood of Avicennia marina, and decaying branches and twigs of Suaeda monoica from Tamil Nadu, India. Hypoxylon teeravasati groups with H. jaklitschii and H. lenormandii (terrestrial species) as a basal taxon, in a single monophyletic clade with high support. Hypoxylon teeravasati can be easily distinguished from H. lenormandii, H. jaklitschii, and H. croceum in having a burnt sienna surface, with KOH extractable pigments eye brown and larger perithecia (Phookamsak et al. 2019).
