Litchi chinensis (lychee) is one of the most important tropical fruit crops in Asia. Despite annual increase research on lychee fungal pathogens, few studies have been conducted saprobic litter fungi, which may also be sources pathogens. We collected samples from Guangdong Province, China during our biodiversity survey leaf fungi. The species were isolated and identified using morphological characteristics phylogenetic analyses combined internal transcribed spacer nrDNA (ITS), large subunit (LSU), small (SSU), translation elongation factor 1-alpha (tef1-α). Based molecular data, we herein introduce a new genus, Pseudoneohendersonia, belonging to Neohendersoniaceae with type P. guangdongensis sp. nov. Additionally, three host records associated L. viz. Crassiparies quadrisporus, Rhytidhysteron neorufulum, tectonae. provide full descriptions, illustrations, multigene trees for novel genus records. This study expands understanding diversity.

Lignicolous freshwater fungi form a highly diverse group and are primarily distributed in the classes Dothideomycetes Sordariomycetes. During an investigation of lignicolous on Tibetan Plateau, China, four collections were obtained from submerged wood habitats. Morphological studies combined with multi-gene phylogenetic analysis based ITS, LSU, SSU, RPB2 indicated that collected taxa belonged orders Conioscyphales Cordanales Based evidence morpho-molecular analyses, two new species, Conioscypha xizangensis Cordana linzhiensis, introduced descriptions their hyphomycetous asexual states. shows close relationship tenebrosa but, unlike has phialidic integrated conidiogenous cells. linzhiensis forms distinct clade within genus possesses unique characteristics compared existing species having swollen conidiophores, polyblastic, clavate, or cylindrical cells, solitary acropleurogenous conidia hyaline mucoid sheath.

Helicosporium Neohelicomyces are morphologically similar their asexual morphs but can be distinguished based on molecular data. In this study, new species, represents fourth sexual species within genus, characterized by yellow-brown ascomata fusiform ascospores. Detailed descriptions, illustrations, analysis results, corresponding notes provided to clarify distinctions between these related taxa.

Freshwater fungi consist of a highly diverse group organisms in freshwater habitats worldwide. During survey fungal diversity across different regions Jiangxi Province, China, four were collected. To study their phylogenetic relationships, the internal transcribed spacer (ITS1-5.8S-ITS2), large subunit (28S, LSU), small (18S, SSU), and RNA polymerase II (RPB2) genes selected for analyses. Based on morphology coupled with analysis, these strains confirmed to belong Phaeoisaria, Pleurothecium, Pseudodactylaria. Among them, three as new species, namely, Pleurothecium lignicola (Pleurotheciaceae), Pseudodactylaria jiangxiensis (Pseudodactylariaceae), Ps. (Pseudodactylariaceae). One species was identified Phaeoisaria filiformis record this China. All compared other similar detailed descriptions, illustrations, data provided.
