Multi-Gene Phylogenetic Analyses Reveals Gen. Nov. and New Contributions to Xylariaceae (Ascomycota) from China.

An in-depth study of the phylogenetic relationships of species associated with nutshells of fruits and seeds within the genus and related genera of Xylaceaecea was conducted in China. The multi-gene phylogenetic analyses were carried out based on ITS, RPB2, and TUB sequences of 100 species of 16 known genera in Xylariaceae around the world. Based on molecular phylogenetic analyses, morphological observations, and ecological habitats, a new genus, , is established to accommodate four new species, viz.

Multi-gene phylogenetic and taxonomic contributions to (Ascomycota) associated with fallen fruits from China.

Morphological and phylogenetic analyses on samples of species associated with fallen fruits from China were carried out, and two new species were described, namely and . is found on fallen fruits of , and characterized by stromata dichotomously branched several times with long acute sterile apices, fertile parts roughened with perithecia and tomentose, and ellipsoid to fusiform ascospores. differs in its very small stromata with dark brown tomentum, light brown ascospores with an inconspicuous straight germ slit, and grows on leguminous pods.

Multi-Locus Phylogeny and Morphology Reveal Two New Species of (Hypoxylaceae, Xylariales) from Motuo, China.

Hypoxylaceous fungi are abundant in China, but their discovery and report are uneven in various provinces, with more fungi in Yunnan and Hainan and fewer fungi in Tibet. During the investigation of macro-fungi in Motuo county, Tibet Autonomous Region, we collected a number of xylarialean specimens. Six hypoxylaceous specimens growing on dead angiosperm were collected from the forests of Motuo county, and they were described and illustrated as two new species in based on a combination of morphological characters and molecular evidence.

Taxonomic and phylogenetic contributions to Diatrypaceae from southeastern Tibet in China.

In this study, we investigated the diversity of diatrypaceous fungi from southeastern Tibet in China. The phylogenetic analyses were carried out based on ITS and β-tubulin sequences of 75 taxa of Diatrypaceae from around the world. Based on a combination of morphological features and molecular evidence, a new genus-, with three new species-, , and , and a new combination-, were revealed by the materials in China.

Three New Species of (Xylariales, Ascomycota) on a Multigene Phylogeny from Medog in Southwest China.

During a survey of hypoxylaceous fungi in Medog county (Tibet Autonomous Region, China), three new species, including , , and , were described and illustrated based on morphological and multi-gene phylogenetic analyses. is characterized by its yellow-brown stromatal granules, light-brown to brown ascospores, and frequently indehiscent perispore. is morphologically and phylogenetically related to but differs in having larger ascospores with straight spore-length germ slit and conspicuously coil-like perispore ornamentation.

Three new species (Xylariaceae, Xylariales) on fallen leaves from Hainan Tropical Rainforest National Park.

Three new species of on fallen leaves in Hainan Province of China are described and illustrated, based on morphological and molecular evidence. is found on fallen leaves of and featured by thread-like stromata with a long sterile filiform apex. Phylogenetically, is closely related to an undescribed sp.
