Abstract
During a study of diversity and taxonomy of lignicolous freshwater fungi in China, nine species of
Acrogenospora
were collected. Seven of these were new species and they are described and illustrated. With morphology, additional evidence to support establishment of new species is provided by phylogeny derived from DNA sequence analyses of a combined LSU, SSU, TEF1α, and RPB2 sequence dataset.
Acrogenospora subprolata
and
A. verrucispora
were re-collected and sequenced for the first time. The genus
Acrogenospora
is far more species rich than originally thought, with nine species found in a small area of Yunnan Province, China.
