-like Anamorphic Fungi in Sordariomycetes from Southwestern China: Two New Taxa and a New Record.

-like fungi within the Sordariomycetes hold significant ecological and economic importance, especially in biocontrol. This study describes two novel species, and , and provides DNA sequence data and identification keys for the genera and . The genus , known for its considerable biotechnological value, comprises endophytes characterized by sterile mycelia that produce antibiotic volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Historically, the classification of has relied on culture characteristics, VOC chemical profiles, and molecular phylogenetic analyses. However, culture characteristics and VOC profiles lack a definitive diagnostic value. Although asexual morphological traits are crucial for genus-level classification, no conidiogenous structures have been observed in . Here, we report the asexual morphological characteristics of and describe as a new record in China, supported by both its asexual morphology and molecular phylogenetic evidence.
