Three new species of (Diatrypaceae, Xylariales) and a first record of in China with updated description.

Diatrypaceae is a diverse family with a worldwide distribution, occurring on a wide range of hosts in terrestrial and marine environments, some of which are important plant pathogens. During a survey of ascomycete diversity in Guizhou Province, China, three new taxa within are proposed based on morphological comparisons and phylogenetic analyses of combined ITS and sequences data. The newly proposed species are , and .

Molecular and Morphological Identification of Monilia yunnanensis Causing Brown Rot on Chinese Quince and Peach in Yunnan, China.

More than 30% of fruits of Chinese Quince (Chaenomeles speciosa) and peach (Prunus persica) showed circular, water-soaked and brown spots in July 2022 in Kunming, Yunnan, China. The center of these spots was covered by a large number of earthy brown and oblate sporogeneous mycelium containing conidiophore and conidia, which were one-celled, limoniform, hyaline (13.73 to 22.

sp. nov. (Polyporales, Polyporaceae) from Southwest China.

Background: is a white-rot fungus with a cosmopolitan distribution and includes several economically important species. This genus has been extensively researched due to its beneficial medicinal properties and chemical constituents with potential nutritional and therapeutic values. Traditionally, species of were identified solely based on morphology; however, recent molecular studies revealed that many morphology-based species are conspecific.

Fungal diversity notes 1512-1610: taxonomic and phylogenetic contributions on genera and species of fungal taxa.

This article is the 14th in the Fungal Diversity Notes series, wherein we report 98 taxa distributed in two phyla, seven classes, 26 orders and 50 families which are described and illustrated. Taxa in this study were collected from Australia, Brazil, Burkina Faso, Chile, China, Cyprus, Egypt, France, French Guiana, India, Indonesia, Italy, Laos, Mexico, Russia, Sri Lanka, Thailand, and Vietnam. There are 59 new taxa, 39 new hosts and new geographical distributions with one new combination.
