Cantharellus versicolor is described and illustrated as a new species based on morphological and molecular characters. The most significant features to distinguish the new species from other known Cantharellus are its extremely fleshy, turning gray after injury and with black floccose-fibrillose scales composed of thick-walled and irregular, erect hyphae on the pileus. It is described from the subalpine belt of Shangri-La, northwestern Yunnan, China. Phylogenetic analysis of the transcription elongation factor 1-alpha sequence data further support its systematic position in the subgenus Cantharellus and its description as a new species.

A new species, Amanita griseofusca in section Vaginatae is described and illustrated here from Pakistan. Distinguishing characters of the new species include medium-sized basidiomata, greyish brown pileus surface with white to beige, membranous volval remnants present as one (large) to a few (small) warts, close lamellae which are cream colored with a pink tone, striations one third of the total pileus radius, broadly ellipsoidal to ellipsoidal basidiospores and white loose saccate volva turning beige at maturity. Molecular data inferred from partial nuc rDNA internal transcribed spacer region (ITS), partial nuc rDNA larger subunit region (LSU) and partial translation elongation factor 1-alpha (tef1) confirms the novelty of the present taxon.

Scleroramularia is a genus that includes species of the sooty blotch and flyspeck (SBFS) fungal complex that blemishes the surface of apple, pawpaw, and other fruit. In a survey of SBFS on banana (Musa basjoo), an isolate associated with the flyspeck mycelial type of SBFS was obtained from Zhanjiang, Guangdong, China. Based on analysis of morphology and phylogeny (the nuclear ribosomal internal transcribed space region and translation elongation factor 1-alpha), it was delimited as a new species of Scleroramularia, described here as S. musae. Conidia of S. musae have more septa than other species presently known in the genus.

In this paper we describe a new species of cave fungus belonging to Sporocadaceae (Amphisphaeriales), collected from Gem Cave, Fumin County, Yunnan Province, China. Initial morphological observations confirmed that our fungal collection is a pestalotioid species. Phylogenetic analyses of combined internal transcribed spacer (ITS), β-tubulin (TUB) and translation elongation factor 1-alpha (TEF1α) gene sequence dataset confirmed that our fungus forms an independent branch within Neopestalotiopsis. Thus, we describe our fungus as a new species of Neopestalotiopsis based on both morphology and multigene phylogeny. This is the first-ever report of Neopestalotiopsis from a cave habitat. A full description, micrographs and a phylogenetic tree showing the placement of the new species are provided.

A new species, Cantharellus albus, was collected from southwestern China and described with both morphological and molecular characters. It differs from other species of Cantharellus by its smooth white pileus, white hymenophore, and white stipe, the latter turning yellow after bruising. The phylogenetic tree inferred from the combined dataset of three DNA fragments, namely large subunit ribosomal RNA gene (LSU), RNA polymerase II second largest subunit (rpb2), and translation elongation factor 1-alpha gene (tef1), indicated that the new species is distinct from other species of Cantharellus and is a member of sect. Flavobrunnei within the subgenus Parvocantharellus.

A new species, Melanoleuca juliannae is described from Hungary. Its most outstanding character is the presence of a violaceous-blue colour in the stipe base. Sequence comparisons with other Melanoleuca species revealed highly similar but decolourate members of the species, lacking the remarkable colour of the stipe. These specimens are described as Melanoleuca juliannae var. decolorans based on three collections from the Czech Republic and Italy. Detailed macro- and microscopic descriptions of the new species are given. The position of M. juliannae within subgen. Urticocystis was confirmed by DNA sequence data of the ITS region of the nuclear ribosomal RNA gene cluster and translation elongation factor 1-alpha (tef1). Although intra-individual heterogeneity in ITS region was revealed in some specimens of the type variety, the tef1 sequences lack a similar heterogeneity.

A new Botryosphaeria species (B. sinensia) is described and illustrated from China. It is characterized by erumpent, botryose clustered ascostromata, ostiolate ascomata, bitunicate, 8-spored and clavate asci, filiform, rarely branched pseudoparaphyses, hyaline, 1-celled, fusiform ascospores, and a Fusicoccum asexual morph. The hyaline old and discharged conidia with 1–2 septa, broader spermatia formed in the culture and smaller ascostroma readily distinguished it from B. dothidea and other species in Botryosphaeria. The intergenic spacer (ITS)  and translation elongation factor 1-alpha (EF1) DNA sequence analysis results also support its separation from other Botryosphaeria species. Its relationships with other species of Botryosphaeria are also discussed based on morphology and DNA sequence comparisons.

Seven new species of the genus Trichoderma belonging to the Viride clade are described from soil samples of different regions in China, and named as T. adaptatum, T. beijingense, T. bifurcatum, T. mangshanicum, T. shaoguanicum, T. tardum and T. vulgatum. Their phylogenetic positions are determined by analyses of the combined partial sequences of translation elongation factor 1-alpha and the second largest RNA polymerase subunit encoding genes. Morphology and culture characteristics are observed, described and illustrated in detail. All the new species form green conidia, fit nicely the Viride clade, but differ obviously from any known species of the genus in sequence data, colony features, growth rates, and size of phialides and conidia. Distinctions between the new species and their close relatives are discussed.

We present a proposal of two new species of Phylloporus discovered in tropical oak forests from central Veracruz, Mexico. Both species were distinguished based on macro and micro-morphologic features and supported with a molecular phylogenetic analysis, based on sequences of nuc rDNA ITS, D1, D2 and D3 domains of nuc 28S rDNA (LSU), and transcription elongation factor 1-alpha (tef-1α). In the phylogenetic reconstruction inferred, the new species clustered in two different clades related to species from USA, Costa Rica and Panama. The recollection of fructifications in monodominant stands of either Quercusoleoides or Q.sapotifolia, allowed recognizing the distribution of one of the Phylloporus species under both Quercus species, and the other under Q.oleoides only. Detailed macro and microscopic descriptions accompanied by illustrations, photos and a taxonomic discussion are provided.

During explorations of tropical oak forests in central Veracruz (eastern Mexico), the authors discovered a Cantharellus species that produces basidiomes with strikingly violet pileus and a hymenium with yellow, raised gill-like folds. It is harvested locally and valued as a prized edible wild mushroom. Systematic multiyear sampling of basidiomes allowed the recording of the morphological variation exhibited by fresh fruit bodies in different growth stages, which supports the recognition of this Cantharellus species from others in the genus. Two molecular phylogenetic analyses based on a set of sequences of species of all major clades in Cantharellus, one including sequences of the transcription elongation factor 1-alpha (tef-1α) and a combined tef-1α and nLSU region (the large subunit of the ribosome), confirm the isolated position of the new species in a clade close to C.lewisii from USA, in the subgenus Cantharellus. Detailed macroscopic and microscopic descriptions, accompanied by illustrations and a taxonomic discussion are presented.

Abstract The genus Neoconidiobolus was recently established to accommodate all members of the Conidiobolus subgenus Conidiobolus. Based on mitochondrial small subunit (mtSSU), nuclear large subunit (nucLSU) of rDNA and translation elongation factor 1-alpha (TEF1), this study further resolved the genus Neoconidiobolus into three clades, with three new taxa being added. They are N. kunyushanensis B. Huang & Y. Nie, sp. nov., N. lamprauges (Drechsler) B. Huang & Y. Nie, comb. nov., and N. nanodes (Drechsler) B. Huang & Y. Nie, comb. nov. Meanwhile, a morphologial comparison among species in the three clades and a key to the species of the genus Neoconidiobolus are provided herein.
