<i>Thyridium intestinalis</i> sp. nov.: A New Coprophilous Fungal Species Isolated from Cattle Feces in South Korea.

ABSTRACT: The genus Thyridium has undergone significant taxonomic revision in recent years, including the incorporation of Phialemoniopsis and the establishment of the order Thyridiales. During a recent survey of coprophilous fungi in South Korea, we isolated a distinctive ascomycete from Hanwoo cattle feces that exhibited unique morphological and physiological traits. An integrative taxonomic approach combining morphological, physiological, and molecular evidence supports its recognition as a novel species. Multilocus phylogenetic analyses based on concatenated sequences (internal transcribed spacer (ITS), large subunit nuclear (LSU), β-tubulin, and actin) placed the new species within a monophyletic clade in Thyridium, distinct from all previously described taxa,
