Abstract

Two new species and one new ecotype record of Talaromyces (Trichocomaceae, Eurotiales) are described and illustrated from the rhizospheric soil of Coriaria nepalensis from Kunyang phosphate mining area in Yunnan Province, China. The new species possess colony, conidiophore and conidial characteristics that fit within the generic concept of Talaromyces. Detailed morphological observations clearly demarcate two of these from extant species and are hence described as new (T. coriaricola sp. nov., T. kunmingensis sp. nov.). Descriptions of asexual morphs and justification for establishing these new species are provided. The nuclear are sequenced ribosomal RNA genes as well as protein coding genes to infer phylogenetic relationships and discuss phylogenetic affinities with morphologically similar species. Our morphological distinction is further supported by phylogenetic discrimination. In particular, phylogenies depict a close relationship of T. coriaricola and T. kunmingensis constitute an independent phylogenetic lineage basal to T. heiheensis in Talaromyces section Trachyspermi. Talaromyces penicillioides is describe and its phylogeny investigated as new ecotype record Talaromyces section Talaromyces herein.
