Summary: The new hyphomycetous fungus Sporidesmiella lignicola was isolated and identified from submerged wood samples collected in a small stream in Jiangxi Province, China. It was characterized by its pink colonies on PDA medium and unique morphological features, such as unbranched, straight or slightly flexuous conidiophores with pale brown conidiogenous cells and olivaceous brown or brown conidia. Phylogenetic analysis using LSU, ITS, TEF1 alpha, and RPB2 sequences data was conducted to further study the taxonomic relationship of this new fungus.

Summary: Asexually reproducing fungi play significant roles in ecosystems and have implications for plant and animal health, food production, biotechnology, and medicine. However, the diversity and extent of asexually reproducing taxa are not well-known. Recent reports suggest that there may be more asexual fungi than sexually-reproducing ones. Evaluating the diversity of different types of fungi, such as speciose and pleomorphic taxa, as well as those from less studied life modes and biodiversity-rich areas, is necessary to obtain more reliable estimates.
