species are fast-growing filamentous fungi, widespread in natural ecosystems. As opportunistic pathogens, some species can cause mucormycoses in humans and animals, while others hold significant economic value in food fermentation and bioengineering. In this study, four novel species were identified from soil samples collected in Xizang Autonomous Region and Yunnan Province, China, and their establishment as new species was supported by morphological characteristics and molecular data (ITS-LSU-), with phylogenetic analyses conducted using the Maximum Likelihood (ML) and Bayesian Inference (BI) methods. sp. nov. is characterized by producing globose chlamydospores. sp. nov. is distinguished by swelling in the sporangiophores. sp. nov. is differentiated by polymorphic chlamydospores. And sp. nov. reflects its geographical origin in the Xizang Autonomous Region. Comprehensive descriptions of each novel taxon are presented herein. This study constitutes the ninth segment in an ongoing series elucidating early-diverging fungal diversity in China, expanding the understanding of the phylogeny of fungi and extending the worldwide number of known species to 137.
该属物种为快速生长的丝状真菌，广泛分布于自然生态系统中。作为机会致病菌，一些物种可引起人和动物的毛霉病，而其他一些物种在食品发酵和生物工程方面具有重要的经济价值。在本研究中，从中国西藏自治区和云南省采集的土壤样本中鉴定出四个新物种，并通过形态特征和分子数据（ITS-LSU-）支持它们作为新物种的成立，使用最大似然法（ML）和贝叶斯推断法（BI）进行系统发育分析。新物种以产生球形厚垣孢子为特征。新物种以孢囊梗肿胀为特征。新物种以多形厚垣孢子为特征。新物种反映了其来自西藏自治区的地理起源。本文给出了每个新分类单元的综合描述。本研究是正在进行的阐明中国早期分化真菌多样性系列的第九部分，扩展了对真菌系统发育的理解，并将全球已知物种数量增加到137种。
