“…Several studies (which were based on DNA sequence analyses) described numerous fungal species during the last decade from tropical countries such as, Thailand and India (Chaiwan et al, 2020 ; Calabon et al, 2021 ; Rajeshkumar et al, 2021 ). A large number of fungal species have also been described from subtropical China, especially in Yunnan and Guizhou provinces (Luo et al, 2018 ; Lu et al, 2021 ; Ren et al, 2021 ; Wang et al, 2021 ; Wijayawardene et al, 2021 ). These studies mentioned that a large number of fungal species are waiting to be discovered in Southwestern China, including the Guizhou and Yunnan Provinces.…”

As a result of an ongoing survey of microfungi associated with garden and ornamental plants in Qijing, Yunnan, China, several saprobic fungal taxa were isolated from Magnolia grandiflora. Both morphological and combined SSU, LSU, ITS, tef1, and rpb2 locus phylogenetic analyses (maximum-likelihood and Bayesian analyses) were carried out to identify the fungal taxa. Three new species are introduced in Pleosporales, viz., Lonicericola qujingensis (Parabambusicolaceae), Phragmocamarosporium magnoliae, and Periacma qujingensis (Lentitheciaceae). Botryosphaeria dothidea, Diplodia mutila, and Diplodia seriata (in Botryosphaeriaceae) are reported from Magnolia grandiflora for the first time in China. Angustimassarina populi (Amorosiaceae) is reported for the first time on M. grandiflora from China, and this is the first report of a member of this genus outside Europe. Shearia formosa is also reported for the first time on M. grandiflora from China.

“… Wijayawardene et al (2022b) mentioned that it is essential to carry out more studies on host plants (that have been extensively studied for fungi, such as bamboo) in biodiversity-rich regions to reveal more novel species. Yunnan is exceedingly rich in fungal diversity, especially in higher level taxa, such as ascomycetes and basidiomycetes ( Wijayawardene et al 2021b ; Dai et al 2022 ). Hence, we believe that future studies on bamboo-associated fungi in Yunnan Province would disclose more novel taxa.…”

Morphological comparisons and multi locus phylogenetic analyses (base on the combined genes of ITS, LSU, rpb2 and tub) demonstrated that three new saprobic taxa isolated from bamboo belong to Cainiaceae. These taxa comprise a novel genus Paramphibambusa (P. bambusicolasp. nov.) and two new species, Arecophila xishuangbannaensis and A. zhaotongensis. The three new taxa belong to Cainiaceae (Xylariales, Sordariomycetes) a poorly studied family, which now comprises eight genera. Paramphibambusa can be distinguished from other Cainiaceae genera in having ascomata with a neck and ascospores lacking longitudinal striation, germ slits or germ pores. The two new Arecophila species clustered in a clade with Arecophila sp. and A. bambusae. Detailed morphological descriptions, illustrations, and an updated phylogenetic tree are provided for the new taxa.

“…Southwest China is the largest, most comprehensive and typical karst region and comprises three provinces i.e., Guizhou, Yunnan and Sichuan. Yunnan is located in the heart of it, with a complex topography and marked ecological differences, which nurtures rich floral, faunal and microbial resources; and plays a very important role in maintaining the ecological balance of the karst region (Wijayawardene et al 2021). Moreover, Wijayawardene et al (2021) mentioned that Yungui Plateau is an important region for discovering new fungal taxa.…”

Three pleosporalean fungi were collected from Qujing, Yunnan, China. Morphological characterisation and multigene phylogenetic analyses confirmed that these fungi belong to the order Pleosporales but in different families. Alternaria alternata sensu lato (Pleosporaceae) is reported herein as a new geographical record from southwestern China. Neocucurbitaria juglandicola (Cucurbitariaceae) is reported from Magnolia grandiflora as a new host and country record. Phragmocamarosporium qujingensis (Lentitheciaceae) is reported from Vitis sp. for the first time. Morphological data, photographic illustrations and descriptions are provided along with the phylogenetic trees.
