Overview

Randomized trial reveals new fungal species in China, highlighting their ecological significance.

Key Points

  • This research aims to expand the known diversity of cordycipitoid fungi in China and to clarify their phylogenetic relationships.
  • Utilized a six-locus dataset (LSU, ITS, SSU, tef1-α, rpb1, rpb2) for phylogenetic analysis
  • Established taxonomic descriptions for nine new species and three new records
  • Provided macro- and micro-morphological descriptions to support taxonomic placements.
  • Described nine new fungal species including Cordyceps multisynnematosa and Ophiocordyceps sungii
  • Reported three new records for existing species
  • Documented significant morphological diversity among the asexual morphs of related genera.
