Project description:In the present study, five new wood-inhabiting fungal species, Conferticiumalbocremeum (Stereaceae, Russulales), Dendrocorticiopsisluteoalba (Punctulariaceae, Corticiales), Eichleriellabiluoxueshanensis (Auriculariaceae, Auriculariales), Gloeohypochniciumyunnanense (Incertae sedis, Russulales), and Punctularianigrodontea (Punctulariaceae, Corticiales), collected from southern China, are proposed based on a combination of morphological features and phylogenetic evidence. Conferticiumalbocremeum is characterized by membranaceous and smooth basidiomata with white to cream surface and ellipsoid and verrucose basidiospores (9-11 × 5-7 µm); Dendrocorticiopsisluteoalba is characterized white to buff, membranaceous basidiomata and ellipsoid, thin-walled and smooth basidiospores (7-8 × 4.5-5.5 µm); Eichleriellabiluoxueshanensis is characterized by coriaceous and grandinioid basidiomata with buff to cinnamon-buff hymenophore and allantoid, thin-walled basidiospores (13.5-17.5 × 7-9 µm); Gloeohypochniciumyunnanense is characterized by buff to cream, coriaceous and smooth basidiomata and globose, thick-walled and warted basidiospores (10-12 × 10-11.5 µm), and Punctularianigrodontea is characterized by resupinate to effused-reflexed basidiomata and ellipsoid, thin-walled and smooth basidiospores (8.5-10 × 5-6 µm). Sequences of the internal transcribed spacers (ITS) and the large subunit (nLSU) of the nuclear ribosomal DNA (rDNA) markers of the studied samples were generated. Phylogenetic analyses performed based on the ITS+nLSUrDNA gene regions with the maximum likelihood, maximum parsimony, and Bayesian inference methods revealed that five new species belong to the genera Conferticium, Dendrocorticiopsis, Eichleriella, Gloeohypochnicium, and Punctularia. Descriptions, illustrations, phylogenetic analysis results, and a comparison with closely related taxa of the five new species are provided.

Morphological and Phylogenetic Analyses Reveal Three New Species of Distoseptispora (Distoseptisporaceae, Distoseptisporales) from Yunnan, China.

Project description:Three new species of Distoseptispora, viz. D. mengsongensis, D. nabanheensis, and D. sinensis, are described and illustrated from specimens collected on dead branches of unidentified plants in Yunnan Province, China. Phylogenetic analyses of LSU, ITS, and TEF1 sequence data, using maximum-likelihood (ML) and Bayesian inference (BI), reveal the taxonomic placement of D. mengsongensis, D. nabanheensis, and D. sinensis within Distoseptispora. Both morphological observations and molecular phylogenetic analyses supported D. mengsongensis, D. nabanheensis, and D. sinensis as three new taxa. To extend our knowledge of the diversity of Distoseptispora-like taxa, a list of recognized species of Distoseptispora with major morphological features, habitat, host, and locality is also provided.

Morphological characteristics and phylogenetic analyses revealed four new species of Agaricales from China.

Project description:Four new species of Agaricales from China viz. Hohenbuehelia tomentosa, Rhodophana qinghaiensis, Rhodophana aershanensis, and Spodocybe tomentosum are described based on their unique morphological features and molecular evidence. Hohenbuehelia tomentosa is mainly characterized by its dark brown pileus with finely dense pure white tomentum, dirty white, decurrent lamellae, eccentric stipe, smooth spores, and fusiform metuloid cystidia. The characteristics of Rhodophana qinghaiensis are glabrous, smooth, reddish-brown pileus, gray-orange lamellae, and initially light orange becoming reddish brown stipe. The unique morphological characteristics of Rhodophana aershanensis are reddish brown pileus with age, brown-orange toward the margin, light orange lamellae and stipe dark brown at first, and reddish-brown with age. Spodocybe tomentosum is characterized by subclitocyboid and small basidiomes, finely dense pure white tomentum on the pileus surface, and broadly ellipsoid to ellipsoid and smaller basidiospores. Phylogenetic analysis showed that Hohenbuehelia tomentosa, Rhodophana qinghaiensis, Rhodophana aershanensis, and Spodocybe tomentosum formed an independent lineage. Full descriptions, illustrations, and phylogenetic trees of the four new species are provided in this study.

Five new species of Inosperma from China: Morphological characteristics, phylogenetic analyses, and toxin detection.

Project description:Many species of Inosperma cause neurotoxic poisoning in humans after consumption around the world. However, the toxic species of Inosperma and its toxin content remain unclear. In the present study, we proposed five new Inosperma species from China, namely, I. longisporum, I. nivalellum, I. sphaerobulbosum, I. squamulosobrunneum, and I. squamulosohinnuleum. Morphological and molecular phylogenetic analyses based on three genes (ITS, nrLSU, rpb2) revealed that these taxa are independent species. A key to 17 species of Inosperma in China is provided. In addition, targeted screening for the most notorious mushroom neurotoxins, muscarine, psilocybin, ibotenic acid, and muscimol, in these five new species was performed by using ultrahigh-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS). Our results show that the neurotoxin contents in these five species varied: I. sphaerobulbosum contains none of the tested neurotoxins; I. nivalellum is muscarine positive; I. longisporum and I. squamulosohinnuleum contain both ibotenic acid and muscimol, and I. squamulosobrunneum only contains muscimol; psilocybin was not detected in these five new species.

Two new Clitocella species from North China revealed by phylogenetic analyses and morphological characters.

Project description:Two new species of Clitocella are proposed based on morphological and phylogenetic investigations. Clitocellaborealichinensis sp. nov. is closely related to C.orientalis but distinguished from the latter by its slightly smaller basidiospores and hyphae of pileipellis with pale brown to brown intracellular or parietal pigment. Clitocellacolorata sp. nov. is closely related to C.popinalis and C.mundula in macromorphology but is differentiated from C.popinalis by its slightly smaller basidiospores and the difference in genetic profile, and from C.mundula by its relatively colorful pileus (white to yellowish white, grayish white to grayish brown, pink white). Phylogenetic analyses based on sequence data from five different loci (ITS, nrLSU, tef1, rpb2 and atp6) support the taxonomic position of the two new species in the genus Clitocella. The illustrations and descriptions for the new taxa are provided.

Morphological characteristics and phylogenetic analyses revealed four new species (Basidiomycota) in the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau, China.

Project description:Four new fungi, viz. Clavulinopsiswumengshanensis (Clavariaceae, Agaricales), Henningsomycesbambusae (Porotheleaceae, Agaricales), Xenasmabisterigmatae, and X.guttulata (Xenasmataceae, Russulales), from Yunnan Province in China, are proposed, based on a combination of morphological features and molecular evidence. Phylogenetic analyses were conducted using a combined dataset of internal transcribed space and nuclear ribosomal RNA large subunit sequences. The ITS+LSU analysis showed that Clavulinopsiswumengshanensis sp. nov. groups with C.aurantiocinnabarina, Henningsomycesbambusae sp. nov. forms a sister group with H.candidus, Xenasmabisterigmatae sp. nov. is clustered with X.rimicola, and X.guttulata sp. nov. is clustered with X.pruinosum. The morphology and multi-gene phylogenetic analyses confirmed the placement of the four new taxa. Clavulinopsiswumengshanensis is distinguished by buff-yellow to straw-yellow basidiomata, clavate to subcylindrical basidia with four sterigmata, and subglobose basidiospores with several guttules (7-8.5 × 6-7.5 µm); Henningsomycesbambusae is characterized by white to cream basidiomata with short cylindric to tubular colonies, cylindrical to subcylindrical basidia with two sterigmata and globose to subglobose basidiospores (6.5-8.5 × 6.5-8.5 µm); Xenasmabisterigmatae can be characterized by its membranaceous and ash-grey basidiomata, clavate to subcylindrical basidia with two sterigmata and ellipsoid to subglobose basidiospores (10-12.5 × 8-10.5 µm); X.guttulata is distinguished by membranaceous and white to cream basidiomata, clavate to subcylindrical basidia with two sterigmata and ellipsoid to narrowly ellipsoid basidiospores (7-9 × 5.5-7.5 µm).
