Popis: During dismantling and relocation of the Takamatsuzuka Tumulus stone chamber, many Cladophialophora and chaetothyrialean black fungi, such as Exophiala and Phialophora, were isolated from samples taken from the joints between the stone walls. However, inside the stone chamber of the Kitora Tumulus, after intermittent UV irradiation in 2009, these black fungi were also isolated from samples taken from the stone walls. Molecular phylogenetic analyses based on only nrLSU and the concatenated (nrLSU D1/D2 + ITS) sequences revealed that the 35 Takamatsuzuka and Kitora Tumuli isolates of Cladophialophora and the chaetothyrialean black fungi were divergent. Two new species of Cladophialophora are described herein: C. tumulicola from the viscous gels and various substrates on the stone walls of the Takamatsuzuka and Kitora Tumuli and C. tumbae from black substances on the plastic cover over the “thief hole,” soil and plaster pieces between the stone walls, and the exterior of the Takamatsuzuka Tumulus chamber. Also, molecular phylogenetic placements for the remaining eight Takamatsuzuka and Kitora Tumuli isolates of chaetothyrialean black fungi have been determined or suggested.
