Freshwater fungi in the karst plateau wetlands from Guizhou Province, China: taxonomic novelties in Melanommataceae (Pleosporales).

ABSTRACT: Three isolates of interest were collected during an investigation of freshwater fungi from wetlands in the karst regions of Guizhou Province, Southwest China. Phylogenetic analyses using ITS, LSU, SSU, and tef-1α gene regions have revealed the placements of these isolates in Melanommataceae (Pleosporales, Dothideomycetes). Based on the morphological and phylogenetic evidence, three new species are introduced: Byssosphaeriachishuiensis sp. nov., Camposporiumguizhouense sp. nov., and C.aquaticum sp. nov. Byssosphaeriachishuiensis is sister to B.villosa and forms a basal branch of Byssosphaeria within Melanommataceae. Byssosphaeriachishuiense is similar to B.villosa in ascal size but differs in the ascomata an
