Endolichenic fungi associated with lichen thalli in Thailand are poorly known in terms of species diversity. During a study conducted in Chiang Mai Province, Thailand, in 2023, eight endolichenic fungal strains were isolated from healthy thalli of the foliose lichen, sp. These eight strains were identified as members of the family Herpotrichiellaceae using a combination of three nuclear ribosomal regions (ITS, LSU, and SSU), sequence data, and morphological characteristics. Two strains of and three strains of were identified as new species within the Herpotrichiellaceae, while three other strains were identified as the previously known species . This study provides the first report of as an endolichenic fungal taxon and its first discovery in Thailand. Descriptions, illustrations, and phylogenetic placements of these eight strains are provided. Additionally, a discussion and update on the ecology and genera within the Herpotrichiellaceae are included. The findings of this study offer valuable information that enriches the diversity of endolichenic species associated with lichens in Thailand and contributes to enhancing our understanding of the ecology and taxonomy of the Herpotrichiellaceae.
泰国与地衣叶状体相关的内生真菌在物种多样性方面鲜为人知。2023年在泰国清迈府进行的一项研究中，从叶状地衣 的健康叶状体中分离出8株内生真菌菌株。利用三个核糖体区域（ITS、LSU和SSU）的组合、序列数据和形态特征，将这8个菌株鉴定为毛壳菌科的成员。两株 和三株 被鉴定为毛壳菌科内的新物种，而其他三株被鉴定为先前已知的物种 。本研究首次报道了 作为内生真菌分类群以及在泰国的首次发现。提供了这8个菌株的描述、插图和系统发育定位。此外，还包括对毛壳菌科内生态学和属的讨论与更新。本研究结果提供了有价值的信息，丰富了泰国与地衣相关的内生真菌物种多样性，并有助于增进我们对毛壳菌科生态学和分类学的理解。
