Moosteaceae Tedersoo fam. nov.

Type genus.

Moostea Tedersoo.

Description.

Covers the monophyletic group in Moosteales (Fig. 2 ). Phylogenetically delimited as the least inclusive clade covering sequence accessions EUK 1604044, JQ 311412 and EUK 1600278 (Suppl. material 3).

Notes.

Recognised based on eDNA sequences only. Currently includes Moostea and two other potential genera. One of these is represented by sequences EUK 0030179 (GSMc plot G 4146, mixed forest soil in High Point Reserve Park, NJ, USA, 41.31569 ° N, - 74.66485 ° E); EUK 1600279 (GSMc plot G 5826, Malus domestica orchard soil in Tabivere, Estonia, 58.54286 ° N, 26.61575 ° E); and JQ 311412 (microcosm soil in Los Alamos, NM, USA), isolated by Stephanie A. Eichorst ( Eichorst and Kuske 2012). The other genus is represented by sequences EUK 1600278 (GSMc plot S 570, Betula pubescens wetland forest soil in Nõmme, Estonia, 58.47962 ° N, 22.94584 ° E); EUK 0029679 (GSMc plot G 2749, Eucalyptus spp. woodland soil near Lake Copperfield, Australia, - 13.84191 ° N, 131.81858 ° E); and EUK 0028885 (GSMc plot G 5081, Coccoloba sp. woodland soil near Lagoa Grande, Brazil, - 10.6342 ° N, - 36.7579 ° E).

The clades are collapsed, with the number of sequences included in parentheses. Question marks above branches indicate low ultra-rapid bootstrap support (< 95). Orders are highlighted in different colours. The uncollapsed phylogram is given in Suppl. material 3.
