Morphological and phylogenetic analyses reveal three new species associated with Pueraria from Xizang Autonomous Region, China
During a survey of microfungi associated with <i>Pueraria</i> in the Xizang Autonomous Region, China, three saprobic taxa were isolated from the dead vines of <i>Pueraria</i> sp. Based on morphological characteristics and multi-gene phylogenetic analyses, the three taxa are identified as new species, viz., <i>Hermatomyces nyingchiensis</i>, <i>H. xizangensis</i>, and <i>Rhytidhysteron xizangense</i>. Morphological descriptions and illustrations of these new collections, along with a synopsis of <i>Hermatomyces</i> species, are provided.
