Abstract

Abstract

Twenty three genera of Xylariaceae are currently known from Thailand plus the anamorphic genus Muscodor which accounts for close to one third of all known genera. Most of the genera are widely represented throughout the country including Annulohypoxylon, Biscogniauxia, Daldinia, Hypoxylon, and Xylaria. Others are more restricted, sometimes to a single locality as seen with C. selangorensis and others e.g. Rostrohypoxylon, Rhopalostroma and individuals from a number of genera exhibit a northern presence. In common with studies on endophytic fungi in tropical plants Thailand is no exception with many xylariaceous fungi isolated with Xylaria species being especially frequent. The family in Thailand is considered to have many currently unknown members.
