Overview

Randomized trial identifies new fungal species in Yunnan, suggesting increased biodiversity.

Key Points

  • The aim is to identify new species of entomopathogenic fungi in Yunnan Province to enhance biodiversity understanding.
  • Conducted a survey of entomopathogenic fungi in Yunnan Province.
  • Used multigene phylogenetic analyses based on nrSSU, nrLSU, tef-1α, rpb1, and rpb2 datasets.
  • Morphological characterization was performed to verify the new species.
  • Three new species were identified: Ascopolyporus sinensis, Cordyceps anningensis, and Hypocrella umbilicata.
  • Ascopolyporus sinensis is characterized by pale purplish-pink pigment and fusiform conidia.
  • Hypocrella umbilicata exhibits uniquely depressed stromata distinct from other Hypocrella species.
