Catalogue of fungi in China 1. New taxa of plant-inhabiting fungi
Scientists in China have discovered 33 new types of fungi, including 2 entirely new genera and 18 previously unknown species. These fungi were found growing on dead wood, leaves, and plant materials across different regions of China. By combining detailed microscopic observations with DNA analysis, researchers confirmed these are genuinely new species distinct from known types. This work is part of an ongoing effort to catalog and document all the diverse fungi living in China’s varied landscapes.
