A survey of the fungal diversity associated with mixed pastures from Eastern Cape dairy farms in South Africa led to the isolation of 155 strains that belong to the species complex (FIESC). Using single and multigene phylogenies based on partial sequences of the translation elongation factor 1-alpha (), calmodulin (), and the partial RNA polymerase second largest subunit () genes, we identified 11 species. They included , , , , , and , with five species that were found to be new. Based on morphological and phylogenetic data, three new species are formally described here as , , and . We also provided a description for , as the authors who identified and named this species did not include one. We have chosen to not describe the remaining species, as our cultures lack proper morphological structure development. This study shows that mixed pastures harbour a diverse range of species and highlights the need for further studies into their potential to impact animal health.
对南非东开普省奶牛场混合牧场相关真菌多样性的一项调查，导致分离出属于该物种复合体（FIESC）的155株菌株。基于翻译延伸因子1-α（）、钙调蛋白（）和RNA聚合酶第二大亚基（）基因的部分序列构建的单基因和多基因系统发育树，我们鉴定出11个物种。它们包括、、、、、和，其中有5个物种被发现是新物种。基于形态学和系统发育数据，这里正式描述了3个新物种，分别为、和。我们还对进行了描述，因为鉴定并命名该物种的作者没有给出相关描述。我们选择不描述其余物种，因为我们的培养物缺乏适当的形态结构发育。这项研究表明，混合牧场中存在多种物种，并强调有必要进一步研究它们对动物健康产生影响的可能性。
