During fungal diversity studies on ascomycetes from karst landforms in southwest China, two taxa were collected and morphologically identified as Lophiotrema species based on their immersed ascomata, crest-like ostioles, cylindrical, short pedicellate asci and fusiform ascospores. Multi-gene phylogenetic analyses based on a combined LSU-TEF1-α-SSU-...

During an investigation of ascomycetous fungi in Karst formations of the Asian region, three interesting taxa were found on dead aerial stems of woody hosts in Guizhou province, China. Their morphology assigned them as typical botryosphaeriaceous species. Phylogenetic analyses based on a combined DNA dataset of large subunit (LSU), internal transcribed spacer (ITS) and part of the translation elongation factor 1-α (tef1) gene confirmed their placement within Botryosphaeriaceae. In the phylogenetic tree, the three isolates formed a well-supported monotypic clade as a distinct lineage within the genus Sardiniella. Therefore, a new species Sardiniella guizhouensis sp. nov. is introduced to accommodate these taxa and detailed, illustrated descriptions of the asexual and sexual morphs are provided. This study reveals the first sexual morph of Sardiniella, which it is characterized by 2–4(–6)-spored asci with hyaline to brown, aseptate to 1-septate, ovate to subclavate ascospores.
Karst formations represent a unique eco-environment. Research in the microfungi inhabiting this area is limited. During an ongoing survey of ascomycetous microfungi from karst terrains in Guizhou Province, China, we discovered four new species, which are introduced here as Hypoderma paralinderae , Terriera karsti , T. meitanensis and T. sigmoideospora placed in Rhytismataceae, based on phylogenetic analyses and morphological characters. Molecular analyses, based on concatenated LSU-ITS-mtSSU sequence data, were used to infer phylogenetic affinities. Detail descriptions and comprehensive illustrations of these new taxa are provided and relationships with the allied species are discussed, based on comparative morphology and molecular data.
This paper is the first in the AJOM series in which we report 100 new collections of fungi which include new species, host and country records. In all, nine new species, 90 new records and one new combination are introduced. The purpose of this series is to provide an outlet for publishing collections with sequence data, so that these observations will not be wasted and mycologists can use the information to update fungal classification and better identification of species. Previously, numerous species were described from the first collection and no further data on the species were published as it was considered low impact. This series will, therefore, increase the knowledge on the host occurrence, biogeography and sequence variability in each taxon dealt with. The distribution and hosts for each listed species are added if backed up by sequence data.
