Three new microfungi (Ascomycota) species from southern China
<i>Apiospora</i>, <i>Microdochium</i> and <i>Pestalotiopsis</i> have been reported as plant pathogens, endophytes or saprotrophes worldwide. Combining multiple molecular markers with morphological characteristics, this study proposes three new species, viz. <i>Apiosporabambusigena</i>, <i>Microdochiumjianfenglingense</i> and <i>Pestalotiopsissolicola</i> from southern China. <i>Apiosporabambusigena</i> and <i>M.jianfenglingense</i> were collected from bamboo in Hainan Province and <i>P.solicola</i> was collected from soil in Yunnan Province. The morphologically similar and phylogenetically closely-related species were compared.
