Smut fungi (Ustilaginales and Tilletiales) in Costa Rica
Based on more than 400 collections of smut fungi (Ustilaginales and Tilletiales, Basidiomycetes) from Costa Rica and on the literature, a check list of Costa Rican smuts is published for the first time. Fifty-two smut species in eighteen genera are presented, including a key, synonyms, morphological descriptions, host species, distributions and, where necessary, taxonomic discussions. Many of them are recorded for Costa Rica for the first time. Sixteen host plants for the respective smut species were hitherto unknown. Special emphasis is put on the morphology of the sori, the development of the teliospores, and their germination. Numerous line drawings show many morphological details and germinations for the first time. Several new genera, new species, and new combinations found among Costa Rican smuts are only briefly described here, since they have already been published elsewhere, with many details and extensive discussions. The name Ustilago eriochloae Ling based on a misidentified Costa Rican specimen of Ustilago schroeteriana Hennings is reduced to synonymy. Sobre la base de más de 400 colectas de carbones (Ustilaginales y Tilletiales, Basidio-mycetes) provenientes de Costa Rica y por estudio de literatura, se publica por primera vez un registro de los carbones costaricences. Se presentan 52 especies dentro de 18 géneros incluyendo también una clave, sinónimos, descripciones de morfologia, especies de plantas hospederas y las distribuciones de los carbones. Se discute la taxonomia de ciertas especies. Muchas especies se reportan por primera vez para Costa Rica. Además se reportan 16 especies de plantas hospederas, que no se conocian antes para las especies de carbones respectivas. En las descripciones morfológicas se presta especial atención a la morfología de los soros, el desarrollo de las esporas y su germination. A través de dibujos se documentan por primera vez muchos detalles morfológicos y tipos de germinaciones que no se conocían antes. Debido a que ya han sido publicados en detalle en otros lugares, se describen aquí en breve varios nuevos géneros, especies y combinaciones encontrados entre los carbones costaricenses. El carbon Ustilago eriochloae Ling descrito desde material proveniente de Costa Rica corresponde a Ustilago schroeteriana Hennings publicado anteriormente. Asi U. eriochloae se reduce a un sinónimo.
