In 2010-2011, a Xylaria sp. was documented growing from seeds of both Chlorocardium rodiei and Chlorocardium venenosum, a commercially valuable timber in Guyana. We conducted extensive surveys in 2015-2016, where this Xylaria sp. was observed fruiting from ca. 80% of dispersed seeds in both natural and logged forests in the Upper Demerara-Berbice, Potaro-Siparuni, and the Cuyuni-Mazaruni districts of central Guyana. Species of Xylaria are ascomycetous fungi generally characterized by black, carbonaceous, multiperitheciate ascoma commonly found growing on dead wood. Combined teleomorphic and molecular data indicate that the fungus represents a novel species, described here as Xylaria karyophthora.
