“…A few species are plant pathogens, such as T. herbarum , causing stem blight in Indian jujube ( Ziziphus mauritiana ) [ 43 ]. They are also isolated from the air of natural environments, parks and industrial zones and are reported to cause seasonal fungal allergies in humans [ 44 , 45 , 46 , 47 , 48 ]. The genus has been shown to produce a wide range of chemically novel diverse secondary metabolites.…”

Torula is an asexual and hyphomycetous genus in the family Torulaceae. Torula species are generally saprophytic. They have a worldwide distribution and abound in humid or freshwater habitats. In order to better understand this genus, we carried out several field collections from Sichuan, China. As a result, we obtained nine Torula isolates from dead woody substrates in terrestrial and freshwater habitats. Based on a biphasic approach of morphological examination and multi-locus phylogenetic analyses (ITS, SSU, LSU, TEF, RPB2), these collections were identified as belonging to seven Torula species. Four of them were new species (Torula chinensis, T. longiconidiophora, T. sichuanensis and T. submersa), and the other three belonged to existing species, though one was found for the first time in China (T. masonii). Morphological and updated phylogenetic delamination of the new discoveries is also discussed. This study provides further insights into our understanding of wood-based Torula species in China.
