gen. et sp. nov., a Novel Quellkörper-Bearing Fungal Taxon Added to and Inclusion of in Based on Phylogenetic Evidence.

An undetermined saprobic fungal taxon from Yunnan (China) is revealed as a new genus in (). The novel taxon, , is characterized by immersed to erumpent, semi-globose ascomata, which are not surrounded by any tomentum or conspicuous subiculum, a subcylindrical quellkörper in the centrum, clavate asci with long pedicels and allantoid hyaline ascospores with granular contents. Maximum likelihood and Bayesian posterior probability analyses based on LSU, ITS, and sequence data depict a close phylogenetic relationship of the new genus to , hence, confirming its placement in . , thus far belonging to , is transferred to based on multi-gene phylogenetic evidence. Additionally, the monotypic genus is treated as a synonym of , with recombined as comb. nov., as the type strain of clusters inside the clade along with other taxa.
