New species and records of , and (Pezizomycotina, Ascomycota) associated with palm and bamboo from China.

Several micro fungi were gathered from bamboo and palm in Guizhou Province, China. In morphology, these taxa resemble , and . Multi-gene phylogenetic analyses based on combined ITS, LSU, SSU, 2 and 1 loci confirmed that two are new geographical records for China, (, ), while two of them are new to science ( sp.

Morpho-molecular characterisation of , with and sp. nov. and comb. nov.

Three arecophila-like fungal samples were collected on dead culms of gramineous plants in China. Morphological studies of our new collections and the herbarium specimen of (generic type) were conducted and the morphological affinity of our new collections with was confirmed. Maximum likelihood and Bayesian analyses using combined ITS, LSU, 2 and β-tubulin data from our collections revealed the phylogeny of .

A taxonomic study of from China, with six new species.

During an investigation of Xylariaceae from 2019 to 2020, isolates representing eight (Xylariacese) species were collected from Yunnan, Guizhou and Hainan Provinces in China. Morphological and multi-gene phylogenetic analyses, based on combined ITS, α-actin, and β-tubulin sequences, confirmed that six of them are new to science, viz. , , , , and ; one is a new record () for China and one is a known species ().

(Fungi, Sordariomycetes), a new species from in northern Thailand.

Background: Species of the fungal genus (Sordariomycetes, Amphisphaeriales, Apiosporaceae) are often found on bamboo in Asia. They are endophytes, saprobes and important plant pathogens. The genus currently contains 92 species and is widely distributed in North and South America, Europe, Africa, Asia and Oceania.
