Abstract

The Qinling mountains are one of the richest diversity hotspots in the world. This area is remote, and new species remain to be discovered, including macrofungi. In this study, Qinling Mountain of the Shaanxi province was surveyed for macrofungus, and one new species of macrofungi Microstoma ningshanica (Sarcoscyphaceae) was discovered and analyzed by light microscopy and scanning electron microscopy as well as DNA sequence analysis. The description, photographs, and comparisons with morphologically similar and phylogenetically related species are provided. Conclusions of its phylogenetic relationships with similar species are also drawn based on the sequence of the nuclear internal transcribed spacer region, as well as the large subunit rRNA.
