A new species and one interesting finding from Mukhrino bog, Western Siberia

During the monitoring of communities of microfungi on plant litter of a raised bog during the summer 2014, several presumably new and some interesting species were found. The specimens were stored in the Fungarium YSU. One of species (Rhizoscyphus ericae) was identified based on morphological characters and represented one of few reports of this species as a teleomorph, and the first report (from DNA or as a teleomorph) from Sphagnum, although it is typically associated with Sphagnum/bog habitats. The second species was identified based on morphological characters as a new species of Fuscolachnum sp. The ITS nrDNA sequences of all three specimens were received in the Botanical Institution of Komarov, LE (by Eugene Popov). This project is aimed to identify the species through UNITE (PlutoF) and to publish the final dataset of two species in GBIF as a training during the seminar on "Identifying and publishing HTS/Sanger DNA sequence datasets", Copenhagen, Denmark on 14-15 January 2019 (https://sisu.ut.ee/publish-sequence-datasets/avaleht).
