Unveiling species diversity within early-diverging fungi from China III: Six new species and a new record of Gongronella (Cunninghamellaceae, Mucoromycota).

ABSTRACT: Gongronella had accommodated only two species for more than half a century and as many as 17 new species have been described in this genus since 2015. However, no systematic studies were conducted for this genus so far. The distribution, substrate and morphology of all known species in Gongronella are analysed herein. Meanwhile, with the support of phylogenetic and morphological evidence, six new species (G.abortosporangia sp. nov., G.apophysata sp. nov., G.bawanglingensis sp. nov., G.inconstans sp. nov., G.pingtangensis sp. nov. and G.reniformis sp. nov.) are proposed and G.pamphilae is recorded from China for the first time. The phylogenetic tree was constructed using ITS+LSU+TEF+ACT+
