Abstract

The name Marchandiobasidium aurantiacum gen. sp. nov. is introduced for the teleomorph of Marchandiomyces aurantiacus. Dolipore septa and septal pore caps of the closely related Marchandiomyces corallinus are typical of the Ceratobasidiales, and the basidiomatal characters of Marchandiobasidium aurantiacum are reminiscent of those of the monotypic genus Waitea. Morphological, ultrastructural and molecular data suggest that Marchandiobasidium should not be included in Waitea, but should be treated as a distinct genus.
