Morpho-phylogenetic evidence reveals novel Bambusicolous fungi from Guizhou Province, China.

The diversity and ecological importance of fungi associated with bamboo ecosystems are increasingly recognized, as these fungi play crucial roles in nutrient cycling and bamboo decomposition. This study identified five ascomycetous species from decaying bamboo stems in Guizhou, China. Phylogenetic analyses based on a concatenated dataset of SSU, ITS, LSU, , and sequences confirmed their placement within the family Bambusicolaceae.

Additions to the family (): novel species and new records from freshwater habitats in Southwestern China.

() is a family with a relatively recent taxonomic history and a small number of described species. However, a major challenge within this family is the inability to distinguish between various genera based solely on the phylogenetic analysis. In this study, we introduced two new species, and , which formed independent clades in phylogenetic analysis and displayed characteristics that were easily distinguishable from other species within this family.

Additions to the Genus (Apiosporaceae) From Bamboos in China.

has a widespread distribution occurring in various substrates (e.g., air, soil debris, plants, lichens, marine algae and even human tissues).

The genus .

Two new species, and , are described, illustrated and compared with other taxa. Evidence for the new species is provided by morphological comparison and sequence data analyses. can be distinguished from other species by the short hyaline conidiophores and fusiform, aseptate hyaline conidia, while differs from other species by its unbranched conidiophores and fusiform, curved, 0-1-sepatate, hyaline conidia.
