Species of Rhytismataceae on Lithocarpus spp. from Mt Huangshan, China

A study on Mount Huangshan, China, identifies seven species of Rhytismataceae fungi associated with tanoak leaves (Lithocarpus spp.). Notably, it introduces two new fungal species—Coccomyces mucronatoides and Terriera coacervata—and proposes a new combination for Terriera illiciicola. The research provides detailed descriptions, discussions, and a dichotomous key for these fungi, contributing to the global understanding of Rhytismataceae diversity on tanoaks. This work enhances taxonomic knowledge and aids in the identification of these species worldwide.
