Morphological and phylogenetic analyses reveal two new species of Rhodoveronaea (Rhamphoriaceae, Rhamphoriales) from China
Scientists discovered two new fungal species living in freshwater habitats in China. These fungi, named Rhodoveronaea aquisubtropica and R. guizhouensis, were found in decaying wood in the Chishui River. By comparing their DNA and physical characteristics with known species, researchers confirmed they were previously unknown to science. These discoveries add to our understanding of fungal diversity in freshwater ecosystems.
