is an important genus of myxomycetes, recognized for its ecological role and wide distribution. This study aimed to expand knowledge of species diversity within this genus in China. We collected specimens from various locations in Shaanxi and Sichuan provinces and characterized them through morphological analysis and phylogenetic analysis using four genetic markers: small subunit ribosomal RNA (nSSU), translation elongation factor 1-alpha (), mitochondrial small subunit (mtSSU), and alpha-tubulin gene ().

- - The genus is important for ecology and has species that may be used for food or medicine, but its diversity in China is not well understood.
- - Recent efforts led to the collection of over a thousand specimens in China, resulting in the identification of four new species through ecological, morphological, and genetic analysis.
- - New descriptions, illustrations, and a key to the species from East China have been created to aid in understanding and identifying these species.
Myxomycetes are an important component of terrestrial ecosystems, and in order to understand their diversity and phylogenetic relationships, taxonomic issues need to be addressed. In our 1985-2021 biodiversity investigations in Shaanxi Province, Jilin Province, the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, Hubei Province, and Henan Province, China, samples were observed on rotten leaves, rotten branches, and dead wood. The samples were studied, based on morphological features coupled with multigene phylogenetic analyses of nSSU, EF-1α, and COI sequence data, which revealed two new species ( sp.

Unlabelled: Myxomycetes are fungus-like organisms that play a significant role in ecological processes, however, their taxonomic diversity and distribution in China are poorly understood. is an important genus within the Class Myxogastria that has received little attention in China. This study provides new insights into the geographic range of species in China and identifies previously unreported and newly recorded species.

Article Synopsis
- Their classification is supported by molecular analysis involving multigene phylogenetic studies of specific genetic regions.
- The new species exhibit distinct characteristics in their size, appearance, and morphology, with detailed descriptive information and a key for identification provided.
Article Synopsis
- The sect. is an under-researched group known for its strong odor, with five species identified in China, four of which are newly discovered.
- The new species were classified using both morphological and molecular methods, along with one new record from Henan, Jiangxi, and Gansu Province.
- Detailed descriptions, illustrations, and comparisons to similar species were provided, along with a phylogenetic analysis confirming the sect. as a monophyletic genus and a key for identifying the reported species.
Article Synopsis
- Macrofungi play a vital role in forest ecosystems, with their distribution influenced by factors like vegetation, topography, and climate, but little is known about their composition in Jilin Province's eastern mountainous area versus its central plains.
- This study investigated six sites across three different topographies in Jilin Province, identifying 691 macrofungi species, primarily Agarics, and utilized both morphological and molecular techniques alongside meteorological data for analysis.
- Findings indicated that macrofungi diversity was highest in Longwan National Forest Park, environmental factors like humidity and precipitation had a significant impact on their occurrence, and species composition similarity decreased from mountainous to hilly plains, aiding understanding of their ecological roles for conservation efforts.
Gymnopus is a widely distributed genus consisting of about 300 species thus far, including Gymnopus fusipes as a generic type. A total of nine species from China belong to the sect. Levipedes, including eight new species—Gymnopus longisterigmaticus, Gymnopus longus, Gymnopus macrosporus, Gymnopus striatus, Gymnopus changbaiensis, Gymnopus tomentosus, Gymnopus tiliicola, and Gymnopus globulosus—which were delimited and proposed based on morphological and molecular evidence; and one new record from Jilin Province, China—Gymnopus erythropus.

- The Boletaceae family consists mostly of ectomycorrhizal fungi essential for forest ecosystems, and new species are frequently discovered despite extensive prior research.
- In a study conducted in northern China, several boletoid fungi specimens were collected, leading to the identification of four new species based on morphological and phylogenetic evidence.
- The research includes detailed descriptions, color photographs, and comparisons of the new species with existing ones globally, along with keys for identifying related species.
In this paper, we analyze the macrofungi communities of five forest types in Wunvfeng National Forest Park (Jilin, China) by collecting fruiting bodies from 2019-2021. Each forest type had three repeats and covered the main habitats of macrofungi. In addition, we evaluate selected environmental variables and macrofungi communities to relate species composition to potential environmental factors.

- Three new species of medicinal fungi, previously unrecognized, were discovered in Jilin Province, China, growing on pupae and larvae of Lepidoptera.
- These species exhibit unique morphological traits, including distinct stromata and perithecia that allow them to be differentiated from known species within their group.
- Molecular analysis using nrITS, nrLSU, and EF-1α sequences confirmed these species' unique identities and showed they cluster closely with a related group, but formed separate clades in phylogenetic trees.
