Abstract

During the investigation of coral fungi in northeastern China, based on morpho-anatomical and phylogenetic analyses of the combined nuclear ribosomal DNA internal transcribed spacer region (ITS), nuclear ribosomal DNA 28S subunit (nrLSU), six specimens from Jilin Province were identified as two new species of genus Ramariopsis: Ramariopsis eburnean and R. nivea. Ramariopsis eburnean characterized by white basidiomata with ivory apex, slender branches, basidiospores subglobose to broadly ellipsoidal, ornamented verrucose or small warts (0.2–0.4 μm). Ramariopsis nivea charterized bywhite basidiomata, primary branches are densely arranged and seemingly connate together, branches crowned, basidiospores subglobose to broadly ellipsoidal, with regular and minute wart-like ornamentation (up to 0.2 μm). This study provides detailed descriptions and illustrations of the two species.
