Three coralloid species of the genus (Trechisporales, Basidiomycota) in China: two newly discovered taxa and one reported for the first time.

Two new species of indigenous to southern China, and , are described and illustrated, and the first record of in China is reported. Molecular phylogenetic analyses of the concatenated nuclear rDNA ITS1-5.8S-ITS2 and nuclear large subunit sequences supported the inclusion of the three species within the clade, together with species formerly classified in .

A contribution to the knowledge of the genus (Tricholomatineae, Agaricales) in China: Two new species and five redescribed taxa.

In China, species of the genus are often confused with other taxa and misdetermined. Here we describe two newly discovered species, and , and redescribe five known taxa of this genus present in China. These identifications are supported by both morphological and DNA-based phylogenetic evidence.

A new clitocyboid genus and a new subfamily Cuphophylloideae in the family Hygrophoraceae (Agaricales).

Phylogenetically, the genera , and are treated as basal in the family Hygrophoraceae, despite weak support. However, the exact phylogenetic positions of the three genera have remained unresolved, and taxa related to these genera are poorly known. In this study, a new clitocyboid genus was proposed based on multigenic phylogenetic inference datasets and morphological evidence.

Cloning and analysis of Ophiocordyceps xuefengensis mating type (MAT) loci.

The entomopathogenic fungus Ophiocordyceps xuefengensis, a recently described species and identified as the sister taxon of Ophiocordyceps sinensis, is a desirable alternative to O. sinensis. The mating systems of fungi play a vitally important role in the regulation of sexual reproduction and evolution, but the mating type loci of O.

Determination of the Main Nucleosides and Nucleobases in Natural and Cultured Ophiocordyceps xuefengensis.

, a recently described species of that is associated with the larvae of (Hepialidae) in the living root or trunk of the medicinal plant , isthe largest known species and is recognized as a desirable alternative for natural . This study investigated the main nucleosides and nucleobases in natural and cultured . The contents of the nucleosides and nucleobases in the natural and cultured samples were determined by reverse phase HPLC.
