            <p>MycoBank: MB854777</p>
            <p> Holotype: HKAS 135175</p>
            <p>Etymology:—The species epithet refers to the host genus where the fungus was collected.</p>
            <p> Saprobic on decaying branches of a  Pinus sp. Sexual morph: not observed. Asexual morph: hyphomycetous. Colonies on branches effuse, scattered, hairy, brown or dark brown, glistening. Conidiophores 69–124 × 3.5–7 µm (x = 94.18 × 4.9 µm, n=15) wide, macronematous, mononematous, solitary, cylindrical, straight or slightly curved, brown or dark brown, unbranched, 3–8-septate, smooth, slightly tapering towards the apex, rounded at the apex, truncate at the apex. Conidiogenous cells 15–21× 3–5 µm (x = 18.29 × 4.22 µm, n=10), integrated, terminal, monoblastic, percurrent, pale brown, cylindrical. Conidia 22–45× 5–10 µm (x = 34.75 × 7.30 µm, n=30), acrogenous, solitary, smooth, obclavate, straight or slightly curved, tapering to the apex, 3–6-euseptate, becoming brown to pale towards the apex, truncate at the base. </p>
            <p>Culture characteristics:—Conidia germinated on PDA medium within 24 h. Colonies on PDA medium reaching 30 mm in diameter after 5 weeks at 25 ° C in dark, circular, pale to dark green on the surface, with dense, velvety aerial mycelium; on reverse, circular, dark green in the central region and becoming pale green towards margin, with growing rings, with entire margin.</p>
            <p>Material examined:— CHINA. Sichuan Province, Neijiang City, Shuangqiao Town, 102°9'58" E, 29°48'1" N, elevation 301.35 m, on decaying branches of the pini woody plant, 01 April 2023, W. H. Tian, SQZ05_3 (HKAS 135175, holotype), ex-type culture UESTCC 24.0131.</p>
            <p> Notes:—In the multi-locus phylogenetic tree, our new strain UESTCC 24.0131 is phylogenetically closely related to the ex-type strains of  K. aquatica (MFLUCC 16-1685) and  K. cangshanensis (MFLUCC 16-1350). However, our isolate can be differentiated from  K. aquatica and  K. cangshanensis by differences in the ITS barcode, with sequence identities 93.89% (461/491, 4 gaps) and 92.08% (442/480, 4 gaps), respectively. Morphologically, our collection can be distinguished from  K. aquatica and  K. cangshanensis . The conidiophores of our collection (69–124 × 3.5–7 μm) are comparatively shorter and narrower than  K. aquatica (114–151 × 7–8 μm) and are shorter than those of  K. cangshanensis (105.5–135.5 μm). The conidia of our collection are similar to  K. aquatica and  K. cangshanensis . Nevertheless, the conidia of  K. aquatica are thick-walled and rounded at the apex, and  K. cangshanensis with a gelatinous sheath at the apex (Bao et al. 2018). Therefore, we introduce UESTCC 24.0127 as a new species. </p>

            <p>MycoBank: MB854778</p>
            <p> Holotype:— HKAS 134908</p>
            <p> Etymology:—The epithet  “sichuanensis ” refers to the province where the fungus was collected. </p>
            <p>Saprobic on decaying branches of an unidentified woody plant. Sexual morph: not observed. Asexual morph: Colonies on branches effuse, scattered, hairy, brown or dark brown, glistening. Conidiophores 82–194 × 5–10 µm (x = 137 × 7 µm, n=15) wide, macronematous, mononematous, solitary, cylindrical, straight or slightly curved, brown or dark brown, unbranched, 4–8-septate, smooth, slightly tapering towards the apex, rounded at the apex, truncate at the apex. Conidiogenous cells 10–22 × 6–9 µm (x = 17.67 × 7.48 µm, n=20) integrated, terminal, monoblastic, percurrent, pale brown, cylindrical. Conidia 34–54 × 8–14 µm (x = 39 × 11 µm, n=30), acrogenous, solitary, smooth, obclavate, straight or slightly curved, tapering to the apex, 2–7 euseptate, becoming brown to pale towards the apex, truncate at the base.</p>
            <p>Culture characteristics:—Conidia germinated on PDA within 24 h. Colonies on PDA reaching 20 mm in diam. after 2 weeks at 25 °C in dark, circular, pale to dark green on the surface, with dense, velvety aerial mycelium; on reverse side black, circular, with entire margin.</p>
            <p>Material examined:— CHINA. Sichuan Province, Aba Tibetan and Qiang Autonomous Prefecture, Wenchuan County, Yamen Town, Xiqiang Grand Canyon, 103°36'27" E, 31°27'53" N, elevation 2143 m, on decaying branches of an unidentified woody plant, 20 October 2021, Y.P. Chen, XQ30.1 (HKAS 134908, holotype), ex-type culture UESTCC 24.0127.</p>
            <p> Notes:—In the multi-locus phylogenetic tree, the newly collected isolate UESTCC 24.0127 formed a sister clade close to the  K. extensum (MFLU 21-0130). However, they differ in both morphological characteristics and molecular data. The conidia of UESTCC 24.0127 are shorter than those of  K. extensum (34–54 vs. 45–120 µm), and the ITS sequence identity between them is only 94.92% (448/472, 2 gaps) (Jayawardena et al. 2022). Therefore, we identified  Kirschsteiniothelia sichuanensis as a new species. </p>
