Hypomyces is a large genus of fungicolous fungi, parasitising the fruiting bodies of Agaricales, Boletales, Helotiales, Pezizales and Polyporales. Hypomyces currently comprises of 147 species widely distributed in Australia, China, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, North America, Sri Lanka, Thailand and UK. Amongst them, 28 species have been recorded in China.
Hypomyces pseudolactifluorum sp. nov., growing on the fruiting bodies of Russula sp. in subsect. Lactarioideae and collected from Yunnan, China, is described with illustrations and molecular phylogenetic data (combined ITS, LSU, TEF1-α and RPB2 sequence dataset). The new species is characterised by semi-immersed to immersed perithecia and fusiform, apiculate and verrucose ascospores. We also review the species diversity of the genus Hypomyces in China.

Fungicolous fungi play important roles in the processes of the growths and degradations of their hosts. With the rapid development of mushroom industries, the fungicolous fungi on mushrooms have received more and more attention (
Collections and Morphology
Hypomyces specimens, including their host mushrooms, were collected in an evergreen broad-leaved forest in Baihualing, Baoshan, Yunnan Province, China. The specimens, as well as collected host mushrooms, were placed on a piece of aluminium foil at first, then rolled the paper into a cylinder, twisted at the ends for sealing and lastly taken back to the laboratory for study (
DNA extraction, PCR amplification and sequencing
The genomic DNA was extracted from the dried materials using the CTAB method (
PCR was performed in a 25 μl reaction volume: 12.5 μl Taq PCR Master Mix (Abmgood, Richmond, BC, Canada), 1 μl forward primer, 1 μl reverse primer, 1 μl DNA template and 9.5 μl ddH2O. For ITS and LSU, PCR reaction conditions are: 8 min at 94ºC, followed by 30 s at 94ºC, 30 s at 52ºC and 1 min at 72ºC for 35 cycles and a final extension of 10 min at 72ºC. PCR reaction conditions of TEF1-α and RPB2 are: 8 min at 94ºC, followed by 1 min at 95ºC, 45 s at 59ºC for RPB2/55ºC for TEF1-α and 1 min at 72ºC for 35 cycles and a final extension of 10 min at 72ºC. The PCR products were detected using agarose gel electrophoresis and, in the gel documentation system, clear bands were observed. Sequencing was performed by Sangon Biotech (Shanghai) Co. Ltd., PR China; partial impure products were purified using the Cycle-pure-kit (Omega, America) and then cloned into pClone007 Simple vector (TSV-007S from Beijing TsingKe Biotech). Twenty clones of PCR products of each gene were sequenced using the universal primer pairs M13-47/M13-48.
Sequence alignment and phylogenetic analyses
The parasitic fungus: Hypomyces pseudolactifluorum sp. nov.
Molecular phylogenetic trees were constructed using our sequencing results of H. pseudolactifluorum sp. nov. and the voucher sequences of their allies obtained from NCBI GenBank (Table

PR CHINA (Yunnan).
On the fruiting bodies of Russula sp. that grew on the humus layer in an evergreen broad-leaved forest of a rainforest. The host mushrooms: basidiocarps medium-sized and infundibuliform, pilei 63−77 mm in diameter. As serious degradation has occurred, the colour and other characters of the host mushrooms cannot be determined. Molecular phylogenetic evidence indicates it is a Russula species.
Only sexual morph had been discovered on the hosts (Russula sp.) of the new species.
Parasitic fungus: Hypomyces pseudolactifluorum sp. nov
The combined ITS+LSU+TEF1-α+RPB2 sequence dataset (excluding the outgroup taxa) contains 3,262 characters (709 for ITS, 893 for LSU, 921 for TEF1-α and 739 for RPB2) from 56 Hypomyces species and two Trichoderma species. Amongst them, 2,246 characters are constant, 209 variable characters are parsimony-uninformative and 807 characters are parsimony-informative. The ML and BI analyses resulted in trees with similar topology and support values and the ML tree is shown in Fig.
ML tree of Hypomyces pseudolactifluorum sp. nov. and its allies generated from a combined ITS, LSU,TEF1-α and RPB2 gene sequence dataset. Supporting values of MLBP (left, greater than 75%) and BIBP (right, greater than 0.9) are shown at the nodes, respectively. The new species is marked in red.
In the phylogenetic tree, the parasitic fungi MFLU 20-0265 and MFLU 20-0266 are clustered together and formed a distinct lineage with the same branch length and strong supportive values (MLBP = 100%, BIPP = 1), which support them to be conspecific. The parasitic fungi are closely related H. lactifluorum and they form a sister clade also with strong supportive values (MLBP = 100%, BIPP = 1). Comparing the gene sequences of the two species, there are 25 bp (4.3%) differences across 582 bp in ITS, 28 bp (3.2%) differences across 870 bp in LSU, 24 bp (2.6%) differences across 921 bp in TEF1-α and 24 bp (3.2%) differences across 739 bp in RPB2 (Suppl. material
The host mushroom: Russula sp.
According to the ITS phylogenetic tree of the host mushroom and its allies, the host mushroom (MFLU 20-0265) is clustered together with Russula leucocarpa (HGAS-MF 009910 and HGAS-MF 009916) (MLBP = 100%) in subsect. Lactarioideae. However, their ITS sequences have 24 bp (3.5%) differences across 694 bp, which indicated they may be two distinct species. Due to lack of sufficient morphological evidence, the host mushroom was temporarily identified as Russula sp. (Fig.
With the rapid development of mushroom industries, fungal pathogens on mushrooms have received more and more attention (
