This correction refers to two new genera (
Corollosporella and
Corollosporopsis) and three new species combinations published in
Journal of Fungi [
1], which are invalid in MycoBank due to incorrect indication of the pages where the basionyms of the corresponding type species were validly published. Therefore, new submissions to MycoBank had to be performed since the originally issued MB numbers must remain with the invalid names.
The correction below presents the new MycoBank numbers issued to these new taxa and the rectifications introduced in their descriptions. This correction has no other implications in the results and detailed descriptions contained in the previous publication [
1].
In Section 4.2. New Genera and New Combinations, from “Corollosporella E. Azevedo, P. Correia & M.F. Caeiro gen. nov.” to “Synnonym: Varicosporina ramulosa Meyers & Kohlm., Can. J. Bot. 43: 916. 1965.” should be corrected to read as follows:
Corollosporella E. Azevedo, P. Correia & M.F. Caeiro gen. nov.
MycoBank MB851370.
Etymology: Morphological characters resembling Corollospora.
Saprobic. Sexual morph: Ascomata solitary or gregarious, superficial, ostiolate, papillate, black, coriaceous, or carbonaceous. The venter of immature ascomata is filled by thick-walled, hyaline roundish pseudoparenchymatous cells deliquescent, with pitted walls, deliquescent. Peridium with thick-walled cells, brown, composed of two layers: polygonal, roundish cells on the outer layer and flat cells on the inner layer. Asci 8-spored, ellipsoidal, unitunicate, early deliquescing. Ascospores fusiform to ellipsoidal, 1-septate, constricted at the central septum, hyaline. Primary appendages present at each end of the spore; secondary appendages are apical and equatorial (peritrichous, around the central septa), formed by fragmentation and peeling of the exospore [12–14] Asexual morph: Conidiophores simple or branched, multiseptate, hyaline. Conidiogenous cells proliferating, sympodial at the apex or monoblastic. Conidia septate, hyaline, branched, filamentous, which disarticulate into small segments; or conidia consisting in a system of axes; a main axis with two, rarely three side branches, each side branch arising from the previously developed branch [13,68].

Corollosporopsis M.F. Caeiro, P. Correia & E. Azevedo gen. nov.
MycoBank MB851352.
Etymology: Reference to the morphological similarity with Corollospora.
Saprobic. Sexual morph: Ascomata solitary, superficial, globose, ostiolate, papillate, black, carbonaceous. Pseudoparenchymatous thick-walled cells, polygonal, with pit connections in their walls, fill the centrum of the immature fruit body, deliquescing. Asci 8-spored, broadly fusoid, unitunicate, early deliquescing. Ascospores 1-septate, fusiform, hyaline or brown, smooth-walled, one-septate, constricted at the central septum. Primary appendages are single, terminal at each end of the spore, spine, or thorn-like; secondary appendages developed by the fragmentation and peeling of the exospore, equatorial double frill or ribbon-like, polar forming a tube or sheets (adapted from [13,15,18,25]). Asexual morph: Undetermined.

Additional corrections: in the Abstract and in the fourth-to-last paragraph of the Conclusions, the names of two new combinations with typos should be corrected to read as Keraliethelia pulchella and Tokurathelia colossa.
