Specimen notes
Public Note:
Annotation J. Fournier 12/2008: Either D. grandis or a deviating D. novae-zelandiae.
Annotation M. Stadler 01/2009: This could indeed be something new. We have tired to culture it in order to evaluate whether the anamorph is Virgariella-like, but my best guess in that it could be an aberrant form of D. cf. novae-zelandiae, a taxon known to be variable with respect to its ascospore sizes. We have, however, never seen such ascospores in any of the specimens we studied earlier for the 2004 paper.
Public Note:
Stadler et al. Studies in Mycology 77: 95, 2014. "A specimen from New Zealand, Stewart Island, Weinmannia racemosa, 4 Feb. 1983, I. Collett, det. G. Stevenson GS 83/26 as D. concentrica (PDD 90478; culture IMCP 18266) (Fig. 52M–Q) agrees with D. grandis with respect to stromatal and ascospore morphology, suggesting that D. novae-zelandiae is not the only large-spored member of this species group in New Zealand. The culture did not produce an anamorph. This specimen could therefore represent yet another undescribed species, or it could actually represent the “American” D. grandis. Molecular data (Figs 73, 74) place it in the D. concentrica group. As the fungus described by Stadler et al. (2004d) as D. grandis is here treated as a separate taxon and D. grandis as represented by the current concept therefore remains to be cultured and studied, we hesitate to draw any final conclusions on the disposition of PDD 90478.
