Description
Zuquan Yao and ten co-authors described three new fungi that live on bamboo in southwest China, in a paper from twenty twenty-six. The specimens belong to the family Cainiaceae and were gathered in the south of the country. The team judged them with close study of their form and with family trees built from two gene regions.
Two of the finds are new species of Amphibambusa, named fangchenggangensis and yunnanensis for their home areas. The third is a new species of Arecophila, named viscosa. The paper gives full accounts of each, with micrographs and a family tree that places them among their kin. The authors note that bamboo forests hold a rich store of fungal life that is still being charted.
