03AE3076FFB2FF9AFF007E49FF62BF9B.taxon	discussion	Comments: — The genus Cornuvia and C. serpula are reported for the first time in China, and was found in moist chamber culture of litter collected from Davidia. involucrata in Houhe Nature Reserve, Hubei Province in autumn. C. serpula is a small sessile sporangium or plasmodiocarp, with well-defined ring-like thickenings on the capillitium and reticulated spores. This species was originally assigned by Wigand to the genus Arcyria (Naturk 1873). However, it was later classified as Cornuvia by Rostafinski due to its unique combination of characteristics. The spores of C. serpula are larger, with a diameter of 9.0 – 12.0 μm and coarsely reticulate in this study, while the spores of this species were 10.0 – 11.6 μm in diameter and 9 – 14 meshes on the half side in America (Rojas & Calvo 2014). But, many of the spores had 7 meshes on the half side in our specimens. The microenvironment of C. serpula in this study is similar to that reported by Seraoui (2008), accumulated litter of leaves and twigs of Quercus cf. ilex.	en	Song, Wen-Long, Lin, Di, Li, Min, Du, Que, Chen, Shuang-Lin (2022): Four new records of myxomycetes from China.

03AE3076FFB1FF9AFF0079A3FCECBBD3.taxon	discussion	Comments: — Craterium was established by Trentepohl in 1797, and 19 species have been reported and accepted in the world (Lado 2005 – 2022). Prior to now, twelve species have been reported in China (Li & Li 1989, Li et al. 2008 b, Zhang & Li 2013, Zhao et al. 2018, Zhang et al. 2020), which are C. aureum (Schumach.) Rostaf., C. concinnum Rex, C. leucocephalum (Pers. ex J. F. Gmel.) Ditmar, C. microcarpum H. Z. Li, Yu Li & Shuang L. Chen, C. minutum (Leers) Fr., C. obovatum Peck, C. rubronodum G. Lister, C. corniculatum B. Zhang & Yu Li, C. subpurpurea B. Zhang & Yu Li, C. yichunense S. Y. Liu, F. Y. Zhao & Y. Li, C. dictyosporum (Rostaf.) H. Neubert and C. aureomagnum Hooff & Nann. - Bremek. To our knowledge, this is the first report of C. muscorum from China. Lister & Lister (1904), who originally described this species as Badhamia rubiginosa var. globosa Lister & G. Lister, found it in the north of Wales. Ing (1982) clarified the nomenclatural status of this species, and named it C. muscorum. Our specimens were collected from mossy bark in autumn, supporting the affinity of this species for bryophytes and colder wet environments (Lado et al. 2018). Of the known species of Craterium, C. muscorum is similar only to C. dictyosporum in having irregularly dehiscing sporocarps, rarely circumscissile, and subreticulate or reticulate spores (Neubert et al. 1995, Zhao et al. 2018). However, the reticulation of the spores is almost complete, and with a prominent edge in C. muscorum, sets them apart.	en	Song, Wen-Long, Lin, Di, Li, Min, Du, Que, Chen, Shuang-Lin (2022): Four new records of myxomycetes from China.

03AE3076FFB6FF9EFF007BF7FC80BF9A.taxon	discussion	Comments: — Perichaena currently encompasses 38 species (Lado 2005 – 2022). Species belonging to the genus form sessile or stalked sporangia with pale capillitium covered with various types of ornamentation in the form of warts, spines or rings, but never spirals, and with pale spores usually covered with warts or spines (Ronikier et al. 2013). P. microspora as a new Chinese record is morphologically almost identical to the description for this species (Macabago et al. 2012, Cavalcanti et al. 2016). The characteristic small spores of P. microspora have not been observed in any other species of this genus. The average spore size of P. microspora in this study and a reference (Cavalcanti et al. 2016) is about 7 μm. The most frequently measured value for spores of other species in this genus (Martin & Alexopoulos 1969) is 10 μm. Our study is the first to use SEM to photograph and analyze this species, so as to more clearly describe the morphological characteristics of the species.	en	Song, Wen-Long, Lin, Di, Li, Min, Du, Que, Chen, Shuang-Lin (2022): Four new records of myxomycetes from China.
