2 unusual facts about Engleromyces sinensis


Engleromyces sinensis

Engleromyces sinensis is known only from China, including its type location in Yunnan, China, in Yulong County.

The authors were studying members of the family Xylariaceae that were housed in the Mycological Herbarium of the Chinese Academy of Sciences in Beijing, and discovered that five specimens collected from Yunnan Province in 1958, labeled as E. goetzii, did not match descriptions of the species published by Paul Christoph Hennings (1900), Curtis Gates Lloyd (1917), R.W.G. Dennis (1961) and Jack Rogers (1981).
