Unveiling species diversity within early-diverging fungi from China IV: Four new species of Absidia (Cunninghamellaceae, Mucoromycota)

mycolabadmin

Scientists discovered four new species of soil fungi called Absidia in Yunnan Province, China. These fungi were identified by examining their physical characteristics and genetic makeup, revealing they are closely related to but distinct from previously known Absidia species. Some Absidia species can produce useful compounds for industrial and medicinal purposes. This research adds to our understanding of fungal diversity in China’s temperate and subtropical regions.

Four New or Newly Recorded Species from Freshwater Habitats in Jiangxi Province, China

Scientists surveying freshwater streams in Jiangxi Province, China discovered four fungal species new to the region. Three of these species had never been described before, while one was recorded in China for the first time. Using both microscope observations and DNA analysis, researchers confirmed these findings and classified them within the fungal families Pleurotheciaceae and Pseudodactylariaceae. These discoveries demonstrate how much fungal diversity still remains undiscovered in freshwater ecosystems.
