Four New Species of (Strophariaceae, Agaricales) from Subtropical Regions of China.

is a relatively small genus, with only 90 names recorded in previous research. In this study, four new species of have been identified based on morphological and phylogenetic evidence from subtropical regions of China. This represents the first discovery of new species of in China.

Seven New Species of Subgenus (Entolomataceae, Agaricales) from Subtropical Regions of China.

is a relatively large genus in Agaricales, with a rich diversity of species and a wide distribution. In this study, seven new species of belonging to the subgenus have been identified based on morphological and phylogenetic evidence from subtropical regions of China. Morphologically, is characterized by the yellow, depressed, estriate pileus and medium-sized basidiospores; is recognized by the white and papillate pileus, adnexed lamellae, and presence of clamp connections; is identified by the pink-to-maroon and estriate pileus, and lamellae with lateral veins; differs from other cuboid-spored species by the lamellae edge which is red-brown-underlined; is characterized by the white pileus and carneogriseum-type cheilocystidia; is recognized by the pileus margin exceeding the lamellae, 2-layered pileipellis with hyphae of different widths, and the presence of clamp connections; is identified by the tomentose pileus, heterogeneous lamella edge, and versiform cheilocystidia with brown-yellow contents.

A new species of (Sordariomycetes, Chaetosphaeriales, Chaetosphaeriaceae) from freshwater habitats in China.

Background: Freshwater fungi refer to the fungi that depend on the freshwater habitats for the whole life cycle or part of their life cycle. In this context, a new aquatic hyphomycete was isolated from decaying wood in a freshwater habitat in Jiangxi Province, China.

New Information: sp.

Non-cirrhotic portal hypertension secondary to cholangiointestinal anastomotic stricture after choledochal cyst excision: a case report.

Background: Cystectomy accompanied by biliary system reconstruction is an important treatment option for choledochal cysts, but the risk of post-operative complications is high. The most famous long-term complication is anastomotic stricture, whereas non-cirrhotic portal hypertension secondary to cholangiointestinal anastomotic stricture is rare.

Case Summary: Here we report the case of a 33-year-old female patient with a type I choledochal cyst who underwent choledochal cyst excision with Roux-en-Y hepaticojejunostomy.

 gen. et sp. nov. (Agaricales, Psathyrellaceae) from tropical China produces unique ridge-ornamented spores with an obvious suprahilar plage.

, a new psathyrelloid genus from tropical red soil of China, is established with as the type species. The new genus is characterised by basidiomata psathyrelloid, pileus rugose to appearing reticulate ridged, covered by persistent, but inconspicuous villus, pleurocystidia absent and ridge-ornamented spores with an obvious suprahilar plage. The genus is unique amongst Psathyrellaceae in producing ridge-ornamented spores with an obvious suprahilar plage and forms a distinct lineage within Psathyrellaceae, based on the Maximum Likelihood and Bayesian Inference analyses of a combined three-gene sequence dataset (ITS, LSU and β-).

Three novel species of (Distoseptisporaceae) isolated from bamboo in Jiangxi Province, China.

Decaying bamboo in freshwater is a unique eco-environment for fungi. Three new Distoseptispora (Distoseptisporaceae) species, , and from submerged decaying bamboo culms in Jiangxi Province, China, were discovered, based on phylogenetic analyses and morphological characters. The combined data of ITS-LSU-SSU-1 sequences were used to infer the phylogenetic relationship between , , and related species.

Taxonomy and multi-gene phylogeny of (Agaricales, Agaricaceae) with description of six new species from China.

is a relatively small genus containing only 62 previously identified species. Here, we describe six new taxa of based on morphological and phylogenetic analyses: , and and a new record taxon to China. The first Maximum likelihood and Bayesian analyses of a three-gene dataset (ITS, LSU, and ) separated the genus into 18 weakly to strongly supported major clades and subclades, but only a few subclades were synapomorphies.

Three new Russula species in sect. Ingratae (Russulales, Basidiomycota) from southern China.

Three new species of Russulasection Ingratae, found in Guizhou and Jiangsu Provinces, southern China, are proposed: , and . Photographs, line drawings and detailed morphological descriptions for these species are provided with comparisons against closely-related taxa. Phylogenetic analysis of the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region supported the recognition of these specimens as new species.

Two new rare species of with pale spores from China.

Most species of have brown or dark brown spores. Although pale-spored members are rare in the genus we frequently collected two such species from many Provinces during our investigations in subtropical China from 2016-2020. As revealed by morphological characterisation and multigene phylogenetic analyses (ITS LSU and -) these species which we have named and are unique and distinct from known taxa.

A new genus and four new species in the /Psathyrella s.l. clade from China.

Based on traditional morphological and phylogenetic analyses (ITS, LSU, and ) of psathyrelloid specimens collected from China, four new species are here described: , , , and . forms a distinct lineage and groups together with , , and in the /Psathyrella s.l.

The Northeast Chinese species of (Agaricales, Psathyrellaceae).

Twenty seven species of have been found in Northeast China. Amongst them, , , and are described as new species, based on studying morphological characteristics and phylogenetic analyses. Detailed morphological descriptions, line drawings and photographs of the new species are presented.
