Three new species of Camporesiomyces (Tubeufiaceae, Tubeufiales, Dothideomycetes) associated with coffee in Yunnan, China
During our surveys of microfungi associated with coffee plants in Yunnan Province, China, three saprobic fungi were isolated from dead coffee branches. Multigene phylogenetic analyses (ITS, LSU, <i>tef</i>1-α, and <i>rpb</i>2) and morphological characteristics resulted in the identification of three novel species in <i>Camporesiomyces</i>, namely <i>C.bhatii</i>, <i>C.coffeae</i>, and <i>C.puerensis</i>. Detailed morphological descriptions, illustrations, and phylogenetic analyses of these three new species are provided, along with morphological comparisons to closely related taxa. These findings have global implications for understanding the diversity of microfungi associated with coffee trees.
