Reappraisal of the phylogenetic relationships of hirsutella-like fungi across Ophiocordycipitaceae and Polycephalomycetaceae (Hypocreales, Sordariomycetes), and the description of seven new species
Entomopathogens constitute a unique and specialized trophic group of fungi, most of which belong to Hypocreales (Sordariomycetes, Ascomycota). In this study, eight species were collected and isolated ...

Wang, @jeffreytownsend.bsky.social et al. analyzed gene expression across developmental stages in nine Sordariomycetes fungi. Rates of gene expression evolution varied by stage, correlated with dN/dS, and were lowest in conserved pathways.

Unidentifiable Xylaria
Was initially expecting X. cornu-damae but the spores are too small, and I no longer think it's anything listed by MushroomExpert, Mycoquebec or the 1993 key I was referencing. If it's a known species it's not one I can find good reference material on.

Hi Rob. Yes, this is likely the "Ilyonectria sp." from my website under Sordariomycetes. Would be a nice one to culture and / or sequence.

Phylosymbiosis between primates and their gut mycobiomes. Top left: Sample-wise mycobiome composition for each host species. The most abundant fungal genera and classes (Sordariomycetes, Saccharomycetes, and Dothiomycetes) are shown in colored bars, where the lightest color in the gradient designates the sum of all other genera in that fungal class. Light gray shows all other less abundant fungal genera. Top right: Primate phylogeny (left; scale bar shows MYA) and fungal Bray–Curtis beta diversity relationships based on 99% OTUs and aggregated by host species (right; shown with bootstrap support for branch placement and scale bar for relative branch lengths). Bottom: Cophylogenetic fungi with time-calibrated sequence divergences match hominid divergence times. Nucleotide sequence divergence of cophylogenetic fungi was calibrated to the Homo-Pan split (6 Ma), which was then used to estimate the Homo/Pan-G. gorilla split (7.1–9.2 Ma), shown with fungal icons. Estimated speciation times fall within the expected 7.1–9.2 Ma (dark orange) or 6–10 Ma (light orange)

Coolest part: Tangerine might have mediated HGT between fungi present within a lichen, as genes from Tangerine seem to be horizontally transferred from Chaetothyriales, a group of black fungi often found in lichens, including Xanthoria. We found other potential HGT events linked to Starships too 4/6
phylogenetic tree. Lowest clade is highlighted in orange and has a pointer labelled ‘Methyltransferase from Tangerine in Xanthoria (Lecanoromycetes). This clade is nested within a different clade highlighted in green and labelled “Chaetothyriales (Eurotiomycetes). It, in turn, is nested within a purple clade labelled as “Sordariomycetes”. A sister branch to this big clade contains multiple leaves highlighted in yellow and labelled “other Lecanoromycetes”.
