Summary: This study investigated the species diversity of Amanita sect. Vaginatae in eastern China using a multi-locus phylogeny. Sixteen species were identified, including four new species. The study provided detailed descriptions, ecological evidence, and comparisons with similar species for these species, and also provided a key to the species of the section from eastern China.

Summary: In this study, two new species (R. discoidea and R. niveopicta) and two known taxa (R. xanthovirens and R. subatropurpurea) were described based on morphology and molecular phylogenetic analyses of subgenus Heterophyllidiae from southern China. Both morphological and phylogenetic analyses confirmed the classification of the species and synonymized R. prasina with R. xanthovirens.

Summary: Specimens of Clavulinopsis collected in China were studied using morphological and molecular methods. Six new species were described, and one newly recorded species in China was identified. Phylogenetic analysis revealed independent lineages for the new species, and the Chinese samples of C. trigonospora were grouped with Italian accessions. Detailed morphological descriptions, line drawings, and photographs were provided for the seven Chinese species. A key to known Clavulinopsis species in China was also given.

Summary: A new species, Fouragea gyrophorica, is described from China, which is most similar to F. vegae but shows differences in apothecia branching, presence of prothallus, and the detection of gyrophoric acid. This finding also reports the presence of lichen substances in Fouragea for the first time. Molecular phylogeny analysis and a world key to Fouragea species are provided.

Summary: A new species of Acrocalymma, A. guizhouense, isolated from the rhizosphere soil of Perilla frutescens, is introduced. Morphological and phylogenetic analyses support the establishment of this new species. A. guizhouense is distinguished from other species of Acrocalymma by its narrow conidia width and forms a separated subclade with high support values in the phylogenetic analysis, confirming its taxonomic placement in the genus Acrocalymma.

Summary: A new species of Moelleriella, named Moelleriella simaoensis, was discovered during a survey of entomopathogenic fungi in Southwest China. It is characterized by brightly colored and thin-pulvate stromata, subglobose to ovoid perithecia, cylindrical asci, disarticulating part-spores, and fusiform conidia. Both anamorphic and teleomorphic states were observed on the same stroma, with orange conidiomata aggregated in the center. Phylogenetic analysis showed that this species formed a distinct clade and was closely related to Moelleriella puerensis and Moelleriella raciborskii. A description and illustration of the new species were provided in this study.

Summary: Fusarium and other non-pathogenic endophytic fungi are equally important due to their excellent biosynthetic capacity and wide range of biological activities. In this study, several Fusarium species were isolated and identified from Rosa roxburghii, and their morphological characteristics and phylogenetic relationships were described. The discovery of these new species has important implications for accurately identifying Fusarium-related fungi and developing potential applications for these endophytic fungi.
