Kelottijaervia Tedersoo gen. nov.

Type species.

Kelottijaervia shannonae Tedersoo.

Description.

Covers the monophyletic group in Kelottijaerviaceae (Fig. 2 ). Phylogenetically delimited as the least inclusive clade covering sequence accessions EUK 1202520 and EUK 1633699 (Suppl. material 3).

Notes.

Based on ITS and LSU sequences, Kelottijaervia is comprised of about five species that are represented by sequences EUK 1603128 (GSMc plot G 2755 X, Pinus sylvestris forest soil, Liiva-Putla, Estonia, 58.38859 ° N, 22.65545 ° E); EUK 0302816 (plot G 5403, mixed coniferous forest in Kõrveküla, Estonia, 58.43789 ° N, 26.75099 ° E); EUK 1104755 ( Pinus sylvestris forest soil near Hofors, Sweden, 60.49 ° N, 16.30 ° E); and KP 889573 (coniferous forest soil in British Columbia, Canada). The genus seems to prefer acidic coniferous forest habitats.

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.
