The section comprises economically significant fungi, with its teleomorphic species classified under the genus . Several species within this genus produce a variety of secondary metabolites, offering significant potential for applications in agriculture, medicine, and pharmaceuticals. In this study, 69 strains from the section , originating from Korea were taxonomically re-assessed using a combined analysis of their partial β-tubulin and Calmodulin gene sequences, supported along with morphological characteristics. The 69 strains were found to be distributed among 15 species which are now confirmed to be originally isolated from Korea. Of them, 13 species have been previously reported in Korea (, , , , , , , , , , , , and ), and two species ( and ) represent new findings for this region. This study presents a detailed characterization of these two previously unexplored species, highlighting their distinct morphological traits, gene sequence variations, and occurrence in ecological niches in Korea.
该类群包括具有经济重要性的真菌，其有性型物种归为某一属。该属内的几个物种产生多种次生代谢产物，在农业、医学和制药领域具有巨大的应用潜力。在本研究中，对来自韩国的该类群的69个菌株，通过对其部分β-微管蛋白和钙调蛋白基因序列进行联合分析，并结合形态特征进行了分类学重新评估。发现这69个菌株分布在15个物种中，现已确认它们最初是从韩国分离出来的。其中，13个物种此前已在韩国报道过（列举13个物种名称），另外两个物种（列举两个物种名称）是该地区的新发现。本研究详细描述了这两个此前未被探索的物种，突出了它们独特的形态特征、基因序列变异以及在韩国生态位中的出现情况。
