The Xylariales (Sordariomycetes, Ascomycota) is an order of mostly stromatic perithecial fungi generally inhabiting wood and other plant debris, as well as some important plant pathogenic species. As a follow-up to an extensive fungal inventory conducted by D. Haelewaters and colleagues since December 2012 at the Boston Harbor Islands National Recreation Area in Massachusetts, I examined members of the Xylariales in detail, including previously unreported collections. I constructed keys for included taxa, and I provide species notes, references, substrate, and collecting data of the following Xylarialean genera: Diatrype , Eutypa , Eutypella (Diatrypaceae); Biscogniauxia , Camillea , Graphostroma (Graphostromataceae); Annulohypoxylon , Daldinia , Hypomontagnella , Hypoxylon , Jackrogersella (Hypoxylaceae); Lopadostoma (Lopadostomataceae); and Entoleuca , Kretzschmaria , Nemania , Rosellinia , Xylaria (Xylariaceae). I herein formally describe a new species, Xylaria finismundoensis sp. nov., based on combined morphology and multi-locus phylogenetic analysis. This taxon provides the first evidence of a saprotrophic lifestyle for members of the E9 phylogenetic clade of Xylaria , previously only known as endophytes.
