These findings expand the known diversity of Veronaea and underscore the significance of freshwater and terrestrial woody substrates as reservoirs of novel fungal taxa.
Abstract
Abstract Freshwater and terrestrial ecosystems harbor a rich diversity of fungi, many of which remain poorly explored, particularly within the order Chaetothyriales. Four hyphomycetous isolates were obtained from freshwater and terrestrial habitats in Guizhou Province, China. Their morphological characteristics were examined, and multilocus phylogenetic analyses based on ITS, LSU, SSU, and tub2 were performed to clarify their taxonomic positions. Phylogenetic reconstruction indicated that the isolates represent two distinct species within Veronaea (Herpotrichiellaceae, Chaetothyriales), which are herein described as V. guizhouensis and V. terrestris. Comprehensive descriptions, illustrations, and morphological comparisons with related taxa are provided. These findings expand the known diversity of Veronaea and underscore the significance of freshwater and terrestrial woody substrates as reservoirs of novel fungal taxa.
This study enriches the species diversity of Distoseptispora in southern China and highlights the importance of integrating morphological and molecular data for species delimitation.
Stachybotryaceae (Hypocreales, Sordariomycetes) is a genus-rich, highly diverse family with a worldwide distribution across terrestrial and aquatic habitats. Hyalinostachys is a monotypic genus, with its type species, H. cylindrospora, isolated from bamboo. In this study, two fungal isolates were collected from decayin...

A new lignicolous freshwater species of Helicosporium exhibiting an asexual morph was isolated from submerged woody substrates collected in Guizhou Province, China. Phylogenetic analyses based on a combined LSU, ITS, tef1-ɑ, and rpb2 sequences data revealed that the isolates form a well-supported, distinct lineage with...

During an investigation of fungal diversity in urban soils in China, four plectosphaerellaceous fungal isolates were obtained. Based on integrated morphological characterization and multigene phylogenetic analyses of four loci (ITS, LSU, rpb2, and tef1), Sodiomyces sinensis sp. nov. is described and illustrated. Phylog...
