Researchers studying fungi in Yunnan Province, China discovered two new species of fungi (Ellisembia yuxiense and Sporidesmium ailaoshanense) that grow on decaying wood in streams and lakes. They also found that a known fungal species, Sporidesmium tropicale, can grow on Yunnan pine trees, expanding its known host range. By combining traditional microscopy with modern DNA analysis, scientists confirmed the identity and evolutionary relationships of these fungi within the Sporidesmiaceae family.

Scientists discovered two previously unknown fungal species and found an existing species on a new plant host in Yunnan Province, China. These fungi, belonging to the Sporidesmiaceae family, were found on decaying wood in freshwater environments. The researchers used both traditional microscopy and modern DNA analysis to identify and describe these organisms, adding to our knowledge of fungal diversity in this region.
