Molecular Phylogenetic and Comparative Genomic Analysis of Pleurocordyceps fusiformispora sp. nov. and Perennicordyceps elaphomyceticola in the Family Polycephalomycetaceae

Abstract excerpt

Several Pleurocordyceps species have been reported as hyperparasitic fungi. A new species, Pleurocordyceps fusiformispora, and a known species, Perennicordyceps elaphomyceticola, are described here based on morphology and phylogenetic evidence from six genes (ITS, SSU, LSU, TET1-α, RPB1, and RPB2). Pl. fusiformispora differed from the other Pleurocordyceps species by producing flaky colonies, ovoid or elliptic...
