Revealing the Hidden Diversity of Aquatic and Terrestrial Fungi in Korea: 17 Newly Recorded Species

This paper documents 17 newly recorded species belonging to the orders <i>Eurotiales</i>, <i>Hypocreales</i>, <i>Pleosporales</i>, <i>Venturiales</i>, and <i>Wallemiales</i>. These species were obtained from freshwater, brackish water, and soil habitats and identified using phenotypic techniques combined with DNA sequence data. Two species belonged to the order <i>Eurotiales</i> (<i>Talaromyces calidominioluteus</i>, and <i>T. endophyticus</i>); two species belonged to the order <i>Hypocreales</i> (<i>Parasarocladium wereldwijsianum</i>, and <i>Simplicillium lamellicola</i>); 11 species belonged to the order <i>Pleosporales</i> (<i>Allophoma tropica</i>, <i>Alternaria longxiensis</i>, <i>Anteaglonium parvulum</i>, <i>Camarosporomyces flavigenus</i>, <i>Edenia achyranthi</i>, <i>Hongkongmyces thailandicus</i>, <i>Periconia imperatae</i>, <i>Pseudopithomyces pavgii</i>, <i>Septoriella huberti</i>, <i>Spegazzinia tessarthra</i>, and <i>Torula chiangmaiensis</i>); one species belonged to the order <i>Venturiales</i> (<i>Scolecobasidium terrestre</i>); and one species belonged to the order <i>Wallemiales</i> (<i>Wallemia mellicola</i>). Detailed descriptions, illustrations, and phylogenetic analysis results of these species have been provided.
