Abstract
A new Halosarpheia species collected from driftwood from Hakkeijima beach Yokohama Japan is described and illustrated and is compared with other species of the genus The new fungus was growing together with its anamorph on a piece of decaying wood SSU and LSU rDNA sequences for both morphs were 99 similar Phylogenetic analyses of SSU and LSU rDNA sequences of the both morphs confirm their anamorph–teleomorph relationship and placed the new fungus in the Halosarpheia sensu stricto clade with high statistical support Halosarpheia japonica is characterized by its polar appendage that is initially enclosed in a cellular sheath and dissolves in water the appendage then swells to form a huge treelike structure The other three species currently included in Halosarpheia sensu stricto differ from H japonica by having two polar appendages that uncoil in water to form long filamentsThis work was funded by grants from the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science JSPS No 185701000001 and No 1806620 MA AbdelWahab is grateful to JSPS for an award of a postdoctoral fellowship We appreciate the comments provided by the two anonymous reviewers and the editorinchief who greatly improved this paper
