Morphological and molecular discrepancies in the biodiversity of monophyletic groups are challenging. The intention of this study was to find out whether the high molecular diversity in Sebacinales can be verified by micromorphological characteristics. Therefore, we carried out molecular and morphological studies on all generic type species of Sebacinales and additional representative taxa. Our results encouraged us to disentangle some phylogenetic and taxonomic discrepancies and to improve sebacinalean classifications. This comprises generic circumscriptions and affiliations, as well as higher taxon groupings. At the family level, we redefined the Sebacinaceae, formerly the Sebacinales group A, and set it apart from the Sebacinales group B. For taxonomical purposes, it seems appropriate to referPaulisebacina, Craterocolla, Chaetospermum, Globulisebacina, Tremelloscypha,andSebacinato the Sebacinaceae andPiriformospora,andSerendipitato the Sebacinales group B. At the lower taxonomic level, we propose within the Sebacinaceae (1) to introducePaulisebacinaforSebacina allantoidea, (2) to transferEfibulobasidium rolleyiinto a new monotypic genus,Globulisebacina, (3) to includeTremellostereuminTremelloscypha, (4) to transferSebacina amesiiintoTremelloscypha, (5) to combineS. helvelloidesandS. concrescensin their own genus,Helvellosebacina, (6) to transferTremellodendronspp. intoSebacina, (7) to defineS. epigaeas.str. without cystidia and flagelliform dikaryophyses, but with star-shaped resting spores, and (8) to separateS. cystidiatawith simultaneously irregular germinating spores and inconspicuous cystidia, andS. flagelliformiswith flagelliform dikaryophyses fromS. epigaeas.str. Additional clades inSebacina, based on molecular differences, cannot be distinguished morphologically at present.
