Three new species of Talaromyces sect. Talaromyces discovered from soil in China.

ABSTRACT: Three new Talaromyces species isolated from soil are reported here, namely T. dimorphus (ex-type strain AS3.15692 ^T), T. lentulus (ex-type strain AS3.15689 ^T) and T. mae (ex-type strain AS3.15690 ^T). T. dimorphus is characterized by biverticillate and monoverticillate penicilli, ampulliform phialides, slimy texture with sparse mycelial funicles and absent conidiogenesis on MEA. T. lentulus is featured by vivid yellow mycelium on Cz and MEA, absent conidiogenesis on CYA, and globose smooth-walled conidia. T. mae presents sparse conidia on CYA and YES, funiculous and floccose texture on MEA, and ovoid smooth-walled conidia. Both morphological and molecular characters show that T. dimorphus is unique and has no close relatives. Although T. lentulus and T. mae
