Abstract
Three pleosporalean fungi were collected from Qujing, Yunnan, China. Morphological characterisation and multigene phylogenetic analyses confirmed that these fungi belong to the order Pleosporales but in different families. Alternaria alternata sensu lato (Pleosporaceae) is reported herein as a new geographical record from southwestern China. Neocucurbitaria juglandicola (Cucurbitariaceae) is reported from Magnolia grandiflora as a new host and country record. Phragmocamarosporium qujingensis (Lentitheciaceae) is reported from Vitis sp. for the first time. Morphological data, photographic illustrations, and descriptions are provided along with the phylogenetic trees.
Plain Language Summary
During a fungal survey in Yunnan, China, researchers made several first-time discoveries. They identified three different fungi, each with a new record. One species, Alternaria alternata, was documented in a new geographical location within southwestern China. Another, Neocucurbitaria juglandicola, was found for the first time in the country and on a new host plant—the magnolia tree. A third fungus, Phragmocamarosporium qujingensis, was reported for the first time on a grape vine. These findings help us better understand the distribution and plant associations of these fungi.
