The Discovery of a New Taxon of Phaeoisaria from Deadwood in China
Main Article Content
Abstract
A new fungus named Phaeoisaria diversa was found on deadwood in China. It was based on morphological characters and molecular phylogenetic analysis using DNA sequence data of the ITS region and fragments of rDNA LSU. It can be recognized by the diverse conidiogenous cells. The sequences of ITS, LSU, and TUB2 were obtained. It was described and illustrated in detail in this study. The type specimen (dried culture) and living cultures were deposited in the Herbarium of Henan Agricultural University: Fungi (HHAUF).
