Cantharellus macrocarpus, a member of Cantharellus subgenus Cantharellus, is described as a new species from Hainan Province, China. It is characterized by large basidioma with a bright yellow-orange pileus and a well-developed, rugulose hymenophore, cream to pale yellowish stipe, noticeably thickened hyphal walls in the pileipellis, presence of clamp connections in all parts of the basidiomata, and a distribution in tropical Asia. A phylogenetic analysis of DNA sequences from part of the 28S gene and the translation elongation factor 1-a gene (TEF1) confirmed that it forms an independent lineage within subgenus Cantharellus. A detailed description, color photos of fresh basidiomata and line drawings of micromorphological features are presented.

Baorangia duplicatopora is described as a new species from Hainan Province, a tropical region of China. It is morphologically characterized by large to very large basidiomata with a dull rose red, rose pink to purplish red pileus, compound pores, pileus context near hymenophore and stipe context staining blue when injured, a red stipe, and cheilocystidia wider than those of other Baorangia species. Phylogenetic analyses of DNA sequences from part of the 28S gene, the nuc rDNA internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region, and part of the translation elongation factor 1-α gene (TEF1) also confirmed that B. duplicatopora forms an independent lineage within Baorangia. Detailed descriptions, color photographs of fresh basidiomata, and line drawings of microscopic features of the new species are presented. A key to species of Baorangia in the world is also provided.

Tylopilus callainus (Boletaceae, Boletales) is described as a new species from the south of China. It is morphologically characterized by a brown pileus tinged with sea-green, a sea-green color change of hymenophore and context when injured, a stipe with sea-green color on the upper part, and a trichodermal pileipellis with slightly inflated hyphae. Phylogenetic analyses of DNA sequences from partial 28S regions, the nuc rDNA internal transcribed spacer (ITS) and the translation elongation factor 1-α gene (TEF1) also confirm that T. callainus forms an independent lineage within Tylopilus s. str. Consequently, a detailed description, color photos of fresh basidiomata and line-drawings of microstructures are presented.

Species of the genus Retiboletus in China were investigated based on morphology and phylogenetic analysis of DNA sequences from the nuclear ribosomal large subunit (nrLSU) and the translation elongation factor 1-α gene (TEF1-α). Nine species were recovered from China, including two new and seven known species. The new species, namely Retiboletus ater and R. sinogriseus, from southwestern and northeastern China respectively, are documented and illustrated in this paper. Retiboletus ater is morphologically characterized by its black to grayish black pileus, white to grayish hymenophore, black to blackish stipe and white to grayish white context. Retiboletus sinogriseus is morphologically characterized by its brown to grayish-brown pileus, yellow to grayish-yellow hymenophore, pale yellow to brownish stipe and yellow to brownish-yellow context. Descriptions and line drawings of these two novel species and their comparisons with allied taxa are presented.

Butyriboletus hainanensis (Boletaceae, Boletales) is described as a new species from Hainan Province, a tropical region of China. It is morphologically characterized by a large, brown pileus with thick context and thin hymenophore, a blue-red-black color change of hymenophore and context, a yellow to brownish red stipe with faint reticulations, and an interwoven trichodermal pileipellis. Phylogenetic analyses of DNA sequences from partial 28S regions,  the translation elongation factor 1-α gene (tef1α) and RNA polymerase II second largest subunit gene (rpb2) also confirm that B. hainanensis forms an independent lineage within Butyriboletus. Consequently, a description, color photos of fresh basidiomata and line-drawings of microstructures are presented.

The collections of Xanthoconium from tropical China are investigated on the basis of morphology and molecular phylogenetic analyses of DNA sequences from the nuc 28S rDNA D1-D2 domains (28S), the translation elongation factor 1-α gene (TEF1) and RNA polymerase II second largest subunit gene (RPB2). Two species are recognized in the region, one is the previously described taxon: X. sinensis, the other is described as new: X. fusciceps. Xanthoconium fusciceps is morphologically characterized by a dark brown pileus with a rugulose or pitted surface, non-staining hymenophore and context, golden yellow basidiospores, cystidia with pale yellowish brown, yellowish brown to golden brown pigments, and uninflated hyphae in the pileipellis. Detailed descriptions, color photos of fresh basidiomata and line-drawings of microstructures of the two taxa are presented.

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.

Heimioporus sinensis, collected from tropical and subtropical areas of China, is introduced as a new species based on both morphological characters and molecular data. The species is characterized by the purplish red to deep magenta pileus, the reticulated stipe, the irregularly reticulate to reticulate-alveolate basidiospores 11.5–13.5 × 8–9.5 μm, and a trichodermal to intricately trichodermal pileipellis. Phylogenetic analyses based on the nuc 28S rDNA D1-D2 domains (28S) and the translation elongation factor 1-α gene (tef1-α) showed that H. sinensis is a distinct member of the genus Heimioporus in the subfamily Xerocomoideae.

The Harzianum clade of Trichoderma comprises many species, which are associated with a wide variety of substrates. In this study, four new species of Trichoderma, namely T. lentinulae, T. vermifimicola, T. xixiacum, and T. zelobreve, were encountered from a fruiting body and compost of Lentinula, soil, and vermicompost. Their colony and mycelial morphology, including features of asexual states, were described. For each species, their DNA sequences were obtained from three loci, the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) regions of the ribosomal DNA, the gene encoding the second largest nuclear RNA polymerase subunit (RPB2), the translation elongation factor 1-α encoding gene (TEF1-α). The analysis combining sequences of the three gene regions distinguished four new species in the Harzianum clade of Trichoderma. Among them, T. lentinulae and T. xixiacum clustered with T. lixii, from which these new species differ in having shorter phialides and smaller conidia. Additionally, T. lentinulae differs from T. xixiacum in forming phialides with inequilateral to a strongly-curved apex, cultural characteristics, and slow growth on PDA. Trichoderma vermifimicola is closely related to T. simmonsii, but it differs from the latter by producing phialides in verticillate whorls and smaller conidia. Trichoderma zelobreve is the sister species of T. breve but is distinguished from T. breve by producing shorter and narrower phialides, smaller conidia, and by forming concentric zones on agar plates. This study updates our knowledge of species diversity of Trichoderma.

Fungi belonging to the genus Cladosporium are cosmopolitan and occur in various substrates and hosts. Nevertheless, this is the first time that we have described this genus colonizing leaf litter submerged in water. We surveyed Cladosporium spp. associated with submerged leaf litter, from three localities belonging to the Atlantic Forest biome in the State of Minas Gerais, Brazil. A multilocus DNA sequence typing approach employing ITS, Actin, and Translation elongation factor 1-α region/genes associated with morphological and cultural analyses were used to identify these species. The species C. angulosum and C. anthropophilum are reported for the first time in Brazil, and a new species for the genus is described here as C. puris.
