Additions of New Endolichenic Fungi to Herpotrichiellaceae (Chaetothyriales, Ascomycota) from northern Thailand.

ABSTRACT: Endolichenic fungi associated with lichen thalli in Thailand are poorly known in terms of species diversity. During a study conducted in Chiang Mai Province, Thailand, in 2023, eight endolichenic fungal strains were isolated from healthy thalli of the foliose lichen, Parmotrema sp. These eight strains were identified as members of the family Herpotrichiellaceae using a combination of three nuclear ribosomal regions (ITS, LSU, and SSU), tub2 sequence data, and morphological characteristics. Two strains of Atrokylindriopsisracemosospora and three strains of Veronaeaendolichena were identified as new species within the Herpotrichiellaceae, while three other strains were identified as the previously known species Phialophorachinensis. This study provides the
