Morphological and phylogenetic analyses reveal three new species associated with <i>Pueraria</i> from Xizang Autonomous Region, China.

ABSTRACT: During a survey of microfungi associated with Pueraria in the Xizang Autonomous Region, China, three saprobic taxa were isolated from the dead vines of Pueraria sp. Based on morphological characteristics and multi-gene phylogenetic analyses, the three taxa are identified as new species, viz., Hermatomyces nyingchiensis, H. xizangensis, and Rhytidhysteron xizangense. Morphological descriptions and illustrations of these new collections, along with a synopsis of Hermatomyces species, are provided.
