Abstract
The new genus Ascocratera (Melanommatales, Massariaceae?) with the single species A. manglicola is described from dead wood of mangrove trees (Avicennia germinans, Conocarpus erecta (?), Laguncularia racemosa, Rhizophora mangle) in the Atlantic and Pacific oceans. The new obligately marine species is one of the most common intertidal fungi. It has been collected 42 times on seven islands off the Belize coast and in Bermuda, Mexico, Tobago, and Australia (New South Wales). A key for all 16 marine Loculoascomycetes occurring on mangroves is given.This publication has 3 references indexed in Scilit:
