Wood-inhabiting fungi play a fundamental role in ecosystem processes, particularly in wood degradation and the recycling of organic matter. In this study, a new genus, , and five new species, viz. , , , , and , are described from China and illustrated based on morphological characteristics and molecular phylogenetic analyses.

- - Wood-inhabiting fungi are vital for wood decomposition and ecological recycling by producing enzymes that break down components like lignin and cellulose, making them "key players" in this process.
- - The study introduces four new fungal species from southern China, characterized by specific features of their fruiting bodies and spore sizes, along with a detailed examination of their genetic sequences.
- - Phylogenetic analysis using various methods (Maximum Likelihood, Maximum Parsimony, and Bayesian Inference) placed these new species within the genera identified in the order Auriculariales, revealing their evolutionary relationships.
We propose a flat retroreflector that can efficiently reflect the electromagnetic waves back along its incident direction in a wide continuous range of angles. This retroreflector consists of a quadratic metalens and a flat metallic reflector at the focal plane of the former. The quadratic metalens is a dielectric pillar array encoded with a quadratic phase profile and it is embedded in the top side of the substrate.
