Description
Yuxin Shang and co-authors describe four new fungus species from Hainan, China, in a 2025 paper. The genus Microdochium includes plant pathogens, quiet plant tenants, and decay feeders found worldwide. The team gathered specimens from bamboo and from a common reed in Hainan Province.
Four gene regions plus careful microscopy separated the finds from known kin, and two tree-building methods confirmed their status. The new species receive formal names and full descriptions with micrographs. Naming such fungi is not stamp collecting: several in this genus damage cereals and turf, so a clear roster helps plant pathologists spot threats early.
