Abstract

Diversity of lignicolous freshwater fungi in Yuanjiang (Red River) basin, Yunnan, China is currently being studied. Three fresh collections of Papulosaceae were collected. Wongia suae sp. nov. and W. fusiformis were identified based on morphology and phylogenetic analysis of combined ITS, LSU, rpb2, SSU and tef1-α sequence data. The detailed descriptions and illustrations of these two species are provided, as well as the morphological comparison with similar taxa.
