Notes.

Scytalidium terrigenum was isolated and named by Jeong et al. (2025) from a soil sample collected in Chungcheongnam-do, South Korea. Scytalidium terrigenum is phylogenetically closely related to S. album , S. assmuthi , S. aurantiacum , S. rodionovae , S. circinatum , and S. tongrenense (Figs 1 View Figure 1 , 2 View Figure 2 ). However, the distinctions between S. terrigenum and S. album , S. assmuthi , S. aurantiacum , S. rodionovae , and S. circinatum are provided in their respective notes. Additionally, S. terrigenum differs from S. tongrenense by its production of hyaline to brown arthroconidia and oval chlamydospore-like cells ( Jeong et al. 2025). Furthermore, based on a pairwise comparison of ITS and LSU, S. terrigenum (ex-type KNUF- 23-236) differs from S. tongrenense (ex-type CGMCC 3.28994 ) by 5.5 % (30 / 544 bp, seven gaps) in the ITS and 2.4 % (22 / 895 bp, five gaps) in the LSU. Notably, S. terrigenum is capable of growing in acidic (pH 4) and low-temperature (10 ° C) environments ( Jeong et al. 2025).
