# Four New Species of Jelly Fungi from Northeastern China

## TL;DR

This paper introduces four new jelly fungi species found in northeastern China, identified using both physical and genetic analysis.

## Contribution

The discovery and classification of four new jelly fungi species in four different genera from northeastern China.

## Key findings

- Four new jelly fungi species were identified and classified into four different genera.
- Phylogenetic trees were constructed using molecular data from ITS and nrLSU regions.
- Morphological and ecological details of the new species were documented.

## Abstract

Four new species of jelly fungi were described from northeastern China based on morphological and molecular evidence. These new species were classified into the four genera Sirobasidium (Sirobasidium jilinense), Calocera (Calocera velutina), Dacrymyces (Dacrymyces jauensis), and Dacryopinax (Dacryopinax manghanensis). Maximum likelihood and Bayesian analyses were performed using a combined nuc rDNA internal transcribed spacer region (ITS) and nuc 28S rDNA (nrLSU) dataset for the construction of phylogenetic trees. Morphological descriptions, line illustrations, and the ecological habits of these new species are provided.
