New species, new records, and common species of <i>Diderma</i> (Physarales, <i>Didymiaceae</i> ) from China
The discovery of five new <i>Diderma</i> species and the revelation of their diverse distribution expand our understanding of Myxomycete diversity and provide a foundation for future studies on the ecology and biogeography of these organisms. These findings contribute to our knowledge of microbial diversity and have practical implications for conserving underrepresented areas and maintaining healthy ecosystems.
