(2016) introduced the genus Mucispora Jing Yang et al. with M. obscuriseptata J. Yang et al. as the type species. Besides the type species, the genus comprises two species viz. M. phangngaensis J. Yang &amp; K.D. Hyde (Yang et al. 2017) and M. infundibulata J. Yang &amp; K.D. Hyde (Hyde et al. 2020). All these species have been reported from submerged plant materials in Southern Thailand (Prachuap Khiri Khan Province and Phang Nga Province). In morphology, Mucispora closely resembles Melanocephala but it is specific in its cupulate proliferating conidiogenous cells and its conidia bearing a central downwardly directed collar with a fimbriate margin’ (Hughes 1979; Yang et al. 2017).</p> <p>Our new collection did not germinate in different media (WA, PDA, MEA) and in different temperatures thus we extracted DNA directly from the fruiting body (Zeng et al. 2018). PCR amplification of ITS (ITS 4/ ITS 5), LSU (primers: LR5/ LROR) and SSU (primers: NS 1/ NS 4) were successful.</p> <p>Phylogenetic analyses of combined LSU and ITS genes (Fig. 2) that our new strain is distinct from other taxa. However, the separation value is medium (69% in ML) and PP value is low. Nevertheless, morphological characters, of our collection is well-distinct from other Mucispora species (Table 2). Hence, we introduce the fourth species of the genus, Mucispora hydei. This is the first record of the genus outside Thailand.</p> </div>	http://treatment.plazi.org/id/286487CCFFC0FF86FF2BFA71FFBEFD29	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Stipe 8–12 × 0.5–0.7 cm, cylindrical, yellow to brown when fresh, dark brown when dry, with green scales on the surface when fresh, with dark furfuraceous when dry, fibrous, hollow, with stromata on the top.

According to morphology and phylogenetic analysis (Fig. 7), the new species Tolypocladium cucullae is close to T. capitatum, T. delicatistipitatum, T. fumosum and T. longisegmentatum. Tolypocladium cucullae is distinct from T. capitatum by producing hollow, furfuraceous stipe, smaller perithecia and smaller asci, while T. capitatum produces tough stipe, bigger perithecia and longer asci (Mains 1957, Table 3). Tolypocladium cucullae is distinct from T. fumosum in having larger and brown to olive when fresh, dark when dry stromata; larger, hemispherical and bracken green to dark olive when fresh, dark when dry fertile head; smaller perithecia; longer and cylindrical to fusoid secondary spores. Tolypocladium fumosum has smaller, pale chalcedony yellow at the base to dark gull grey at the apex stromata; ellipsoidal when young and capitate when mature fertile head; larger perithecia; shorter and cylindrical to cubic secondary spores. The phylogenetic tree also supports that T. cucullae is distinct from T. capitatum and T. fumosum (Fig. 7).</p> <p>The morpho-characters of T. cucullae are similar to T. delicatistipitatum, but the latter has no DNA sequence data. Both of them formed stipitate stromata, subglobose to ovoid perithecia, cylindrical asci and cylindrical secondary spores with truncate ends. Tolypocladium cucullae is different from Tolypocladium delicatistipitatum in producing stromata with a hemispherical, dark (when dry) fertile part, with a thinner (5.5–6 μm in diam) apical cap and longer (25–35 μm long) secondary spores, while T. delicatistipitatum produces stromata with a spherical or oval fertile part, a thicker (8 μm in diam) apical cap and shorter (18–28 μm long) secondary ascospores.</p> <p>Molecular data have been supplemented by four strains, including OSC 110992 (Sung et al. 2007), HMJAU6903 (Yan &amp; Bau 2014), MHHNU 8699 (Chen &amp; Zhang 2019) and 2731.S (Stensrud et al. 2005). Furthermore, HMJAU6903 (Yan &amp; Bau 2014) and MHHNU 8699 (Chen &amp; Zhang 2019) were reported molecular data with descriptions and illustrations among these four strains. Tolypocladium cucullae is distinct from T. longisegmentatum (DAOM 137162, Ginns 1988; HMJAU6903, Yan &amp; Bau 2014; MHHNU 8699, Chen &amp; Zhang 2019) in having a hemispherical fertile head, brown perithecia and shorter secondary spores (Table 3). Molecular data indicated that the new species has 31 bp in ITS that differ from HMJAU 6903, 36 bp in ITS that is different from MHHNU 8699, 38 bp in ITS is different from 2731.S, 26 bp in LSU that are different from OSC 110992. In conclusion, we propose T. cucullae as a new species.</p> </div>	http://treatment.plazi.org/id/286487CCFFC9FF89FF2BFD40F9C3FE1E	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Sin. 5(3): 181 (1986)</p> <p>(FIGURE. 8)</p> <p>Index Fungorum Number: 130206</p> <p>Specimen found on stick insects (Phasmatodea). Host’s internodes between abdominal segments were covered with white to pale green mycelium and sporulating conidiophores. Conidiophores arising from hyphae, smooth-walled. Phialides cylindrical, solitary, smooth-walled, 8–18 × 1–1.5 μm. Conidia smooth-walled, pale green to colorless (6.5– 9.5 × 2.5–3 μm), cylindrical, slightly constricted in the middle, round at both ends or tapered at one end. Bi-celled conidium was not observed.</p> <p>Culture characteristics:— Colonies on PDA were relatively slow-growing, fluffy, beginning to white, and the spores appear green, started to produce conidia after 3 days in culture at 25 °C in the laboratory, 17 mm diam. after 10 days. Mature conidia chains are often spread on the surface of the colony in small granular clumps. Hyphae hyaline, separated, branched, about 3 um wide.</p> <p>Material examined:— China, Guizhou Province, Guiyang, on dead stick insects, July 2019, Q.R.

(1986). In 1991, Liang et al. reported a M. taii Z.Q. Liang &amp; A.Y. Liu on larvae of Noctuidae sp. (Lepidoptera). Metacordyceps taii was recognized to be the sexual morph of M. guizhouense by Bischoff et al. (2009). Qu et al. also reported that M. taii should be treated as a synonym of M. guizhouense based on molecular data. This is the first report of M. guizhouense isolated on stick insects (Phasmatodea).</p> </div>	http://treatment.plazi.org/id/286487CCFFCEFF8CFF2BFA9AFF56FF77	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

(2007) with M. schulzeri as type species, which was described as Chloridium schulzerii (Sacc.) Sacc. and Rhinocladiella schulzeri (Sacc.) Matsush. Our isolate fits the characters of Myrmecridium well in having macronematous, unbranched, septate conidiophores, polyblastic conidiogenous cells with denticles, and hyaline, thin-walled, smooth, fusoid or ellipsoidal to obovoidal conidia (Arzanlou et al. 2007, Jie et al. 2013, Peintner et al. 2016, Réblová et al. 2016). The sequence data in ITS gene region of our isolate are identical to that of M. schulzeri. Thus, we identified our isolate as M. schulzeri. Our isolate is a new geographic record in China and a new habitat record from freshwater.</p> </div>	http://treatment.plazi.org/id/286487CCFFCDFF92FF2BF8C6FFD8FD52	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

It is recognized by the excellently velutinate to glabrescent pileus with noticeable radially sulcate striate, combined with the subdistant lamellae. Large basidiocarps are frequently encountered almost always associated with a prominent pseudosclerotium. This study reports P. similis for the first time from China, based on both morphological characteristics (Figs. 10, 11) and phylogenetic analysis (Fig. 12).</p> </div>	http://treatment.plazi.org/id/286487CCFFD3FF92FF2BFCBAFCF9F942	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
