Abstract
Decaying bamboo in freshwater is a unique eco-environment for fungi. Three new Distoseptispora (Distoseptisporaceae) species, D. meilingensis , D. yongxiuensis and D. yunjushanensis from submerged decaying bamboo culms in Jiangxi Province, China, were discovered, based on phylogenetic analyses and morphological characters. The combined data of ITS-LSU-SSU- Tef 1 sequences were used to infer the phylogenetic relationship between D. meilingensis , D. yongxiuensis , D. yunjushanensis and related species. Both molecular analyses and morphological data supported D. meilingensis , D. yongxiuensis and D. yunjushanensis as three independent taxa.
