Asexual morphs synnematous, pesotum-like and mononematous to micronematous (sporothrix-like type). Synnemata abundant on MEA and sterilised pine twigs, determinate, erect, single or in groups, arising from the agar, pine twigs or aerial mycelium and attached to substratum by brown, rhizoid-like hyphae, dark brown to black and becoming subhyaline to hyaline towards the conidiogenous apparatus, (127 –) 145.5–239 (– 315) μm long including the capitulum. Stipe dark brown to black at the bases, light brown or yellowish-brown at the centre and hyaline at the apex, (60 –) 86–153.5 (– 210) μm long, broadest towards the base, (16.5 –) 24–48.5 (– 81.5) µm down to (11.5 –) 18.5–44 (– 91) µm wide at the apex, cylindrical, smooth. Conidiophores branching divaricate or dichotomous with 2 (mostly) or 3 conidiogenous cells per branch point. Conidiogenous cells annellated, discrete, terminal, cylindrical, tapering towards apex, hyaline, smooth, (16.5 –) 27–42.8 (– 50) × (0.8 –) 0.9–1.5 (– 2) μm with.

Sporothrix - like type: conidiophores macronematous to micronematous, hyaline, produced as aerial mycelia, simple or irregularly or dichotomous branched, producing conidia from denticles in a sporothrix-like fashion. Conidiogenous cells hyaline, smooth, straight or curved, integrated or discrete, terminal or intercalary, cylindrical, tapering towards apex, (18.5 –) 20–43.5 (– 73.5) × (1 –) 1.5–2.5 (– 3) µm, apex becoming nodose from numerous denticles, often proliferating at the apex and giving rise to another nodose or a conidiogenous cell with nodose at the apex. Conidia solitary, abundant in cultures, more varied to the size and shape of conidia produced in synnemata, hyaline, aseptate, smooth, oblong, obovate, (3 –) 4–5.5 (– 8) × (1 –) 1.5–2 (– 3) µm.</p><p>Culture characteristics.</p><p>Colonies with optimal growth at 25 ° C on 2 % MEA, reaching 66 mm (± 0.59 mm) diam. in 14 d, with a radial growth rate of 0.24 mm / d, followed by 20 ° C (55 mm, ± 0.21 mm) diam.

Ophiostoma babimostense is morphologically similar to many species of the O. ulmi complex. However, O. babimostense does not form a monophyletic clade with other species in the O. ulmi complex (Figs 1, 3, Suppl. material 1: figs S 1, S 2). This species fails to group consistently with any one member of the O. ulmi complex within the ITS - (Fig. 1), TUB 2 - (Suppl. material 1: fig. S 1) and TEF 1 - (Suppl. material 1: fig. S 3) based trees. In addition, O. babimostense formed a distinct lineage basal to all other species in the O. ulmi complex in the combined analyses of the TUB 2 and TEF 1 datasets (Fig. 3).</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/8280464268E554AA98C6A5862372A6F8	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Asexual morph Sporothrix - like: conidiophores hyaline, micronematous, simple or branched and bearing several conidiogenous cells, borne on upright undifferentiated hyphae. Conidiogenous cells cylindrical, terminal or intercalary, straight or curved, tapering towards the apex, (3.5 –) 15–36 (– 50.5) μm long, (0.5 –) 1–2 (– 2) μm wide at the base, the apical part swollen, (1 –) 2–3 (– 3) μm long, (1.5 –) 2–4 (– 5.5) μm wide, with multiple conidiogenous loci as denticles, born by sympodial proliferation. Conidia of two types: 1) abundant in cultures, hyaline, unicellular, smooth, variable in shape and size, guttuliform to fusiform, curved, often asymmetric, pointed at the base, (3 –) 3.5–5 (– 7) × (0.5 –) 1–1.5 (– 2.5) μm, formed directly on denticles; 2) sparse in cultures, directly on the side of submerged hyphae in malt agar, subhyaline to lightly pigmented, unicellular, smooth, subglobose to broadly obovate, (2.5 –) 3–4 (– 5.5) × (2 –) 2–3 (– 4) μm diam., formed singly.</p><p>Culture characteristics.</p><p>Colonies with optimal growth at 25 ° C on 2 % MEA reaching an average of 47 mm (± 0.07 mm) after 14 days, with radial growth rate 1.68 (± 0.24) mm / d, growth somewhat slower at 30 ° C (40 mm diameter); white (3 A 1), flat, floccose, growing in a circular pattern with entire margins, reverse yellowish-white (3 A 2).

Aas, (culture CBS 151675) .</p><p>Notes.</p><p>This species is phylogenetically distinct from the other Sporothrix species, based on phylogenetic analysis of combined TUB 2 and CAL sequence data (Fig. 4). Sporothrix europaea is phylogenetically closely related to S. fusiformis and S. lunata described by Aghayeva et al. (2004). However, S. europaea has smaller ascomatal bases and necks compared to S. fusiformis (86–193 μm and 257–530 μm vs. 121–273 μm and 301–1168 μm). In turn, S. europaea has larger ascomatal bases (86–193 μm vs. 60–178 μm) and longer necks (257–530 μm vs. 162–700 μm) compared to S. lunata (Aghayeva et al. 2004) . In addition, S. europaea has two conidial types, guttuliform to fusiform and subglobose to obovate, whereas those in cultures of S. fusiformis are only guttuliform to fusiform.</p><p>Spotothrix lunata has lunate conidia flattened at one side or curved with a blunt base (Aghayeva et al. 2004). The cultures of S. europaea grow on 2 % MEA between 5 ° C and 35 ° C, whereas S. fusiformis and S. lunata did not growth below 10 ° C and above 30 ° C (Aghayeva et al. 2004).</p><p>Sporothrix europaea was represented by five isolates collected from Poland. It corresponds to Sporothrix sp. 4 in the study of Jankowiak et al. (2019 b). Sporothrix europaea was isolated from hardwoods in association with different bark beetles.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/DA31E7C6F9035CE7B64E43D831626355	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
