Unveiling four new taxa and <i>Nigrosynnemanatarajanensis</i> comb. nov. in Stachybotryaceae (Hypocreales) from monocotyledon plants in Guangdong Province, China.

ABSTRACT: Members of Stachybotryaceae are distributed worldwide, with certain species playing a significant role as bio-degraders and some causing diseases in plants, humans, and animals. Other species within this family can be found in soil and have been reported as saprobes in various plants. In this study (2021-2022), fungal taxa resembling Stachybotryaceae, isolated from dead leaves of Agavesisalana and a dead stem of Wurfbainiavillosa in Guangdong Province, China, are identified based on morphological characteristics and molecular data. Multi-locus phylogeny based on calmodulin (cmdA), internal transcribed spacer (ITS), the large subunit nuclear rDNA (LSU), RNA polymerase II second largest subunit (rpb2), the partial translation elongation factor 1-α (tef1-α),
