South China is a hotspot for fungal diversity. During investigations of saprobic fungi in Yunnan Province, we collected and identified new species, Queenslandipenidiella lingcangensis, host record Periconia byssoides from dead woody twigs Cryptocarya hainanensis Ehretia acuminata, respectively. Both morphology multigene phylogenetic analyses combined ITS LSU sequence data supported the placement taxa within with high statistical support. The taxon characterised by numerous, erect, hairy, dark brown to black colonies, macronematous, solitary or gregarious, oblong, brown, branching penicillate conidiophores 5−6-septate, mono- polyblastic, terminal, narrowly ellipsoidal subcylindrical, pale conidiogenous cells 1–2-celled, globose subglobose, aseptate, thick-walled, hyaline greenish-brown conidia. We provide descriptions, illustrations, results, notes discussing species record.

Abstract Diaporthe is an important plant pathogenic genus, which also occurs as endophytes and saprobes. Many species that are morphologically similar proved to be genetically distinct. The current understanding of taxonomy by applying morphological characters, host associations multi-gene phylogeny problematic leading overestimation/underestimation numbers this significant fungal genus. Currently, there no definite boundaries for the accepted species. Hence, present study aims re-structure genus , based on single gene phylogenies (ITS, tef tub cal his ), justified GCPSR (Genealogical Concordance Phylogenetic Species Recognition) methodology well coalescence-based models (PTP—Poisson Tree Processes mPTP—multi-rate Poisson Processes). Considering all available type isolates divided into seven sections while 13 15 species-complexes proposed. To support re-assessment 82 obtained from woody hosts in Guizhou Province China were investigated revealed presence two novel 17 previously known Synonymies specified 31 molecular data studies. Dividing several specific phylogenetic analyses can avoid construction lengthy trees entire future taxonomic In other words, when one conducts research related only appropriate section need selected analysis.

Arabica coffee ( Coffea arabica ) is the most cultured and popular bean in today’s world. Yunnan Province well known as China’s largest cultivation region. Fungi represent an important group of microorganisms associated with coffee, profoundly influencing its yield quality. In this study, twelve fungal collections growing on dead decaying twigs were collected isolated to systematically document microfungi plants Province. Ten novel species, each representing a unique family within Pleosporales , identified introduced, based comprehensive morphological analyses multigene phylogenetic studies. The ten new species belong families Bambusicolaceae Didymellaceae Didymosphaeriaceae Longiostiolaceae Lophiostomataceae Massarinaceae Neomassariaceae Occultibambusaceae Roussoellaceae Thyridariaceae containing one species. Macro- micro-characteristics, descriptions trees indicating placement taxa are provided. addition, pairwise homoplasy index (PHI) test results comparisons between closely-related given.

Five new species, afzeliae, D. bombacis, careyae, globoostiolata, samaneae, are introduced as saprobes from plant hosts, Afzelia xylocarpa, Bombax ceiba, Careya sphaerica, member Fagaceae, Samanea saman. Interestingly, this is first report species these plants, except Fagaceae member. The morphological comparison, updated molecular phylogeny, pairwise homoplasy index (PHI) analysis strongly support establishment novel species.

In order to better understand this genus, we carried out several field collections from Sichuan, China. As result, obtained nine isolates dead woody substrates terrestrial Based on biphasic approach of morphological examination multi-locus phylogenetic analyses (ITS, SSU, LSU, TEF, RPB2), these were identified as belonging seven species.
