Scientists discovered two previously unknown species of fungi called Stilbochaeta in China. They used DNA analysis and microscopic examination to confirm these were new species distinct from known fungi. One species was found in a freshwater stream, while the other was discovered on decaying wood in a forest. This discovery increases the known diversity of these small fungi and shows how important it is to study different ecosystems around the world.
