Physalidiella pentagona is a newly described fungus species found on dead twigs of Lindera communis in Guizhou Province, China. It is characterized by differentiated conidiophores and unique conidia shape, with a dichotomous key provided for species identification.
A new species, Physalidiella pentagona, collected on dead twigs of Lindera communis in Guizhou Province, China, is described and illustrated. The fungus is mainly characterized by differentiated conidiophores with opposite or verticillate short branches and monoblastic, percurrently extending conidiogenous cells that produce solitary, smooth, quasi-stellate or T-shaped conidia with an approximately pentagonal central cell and two smaller hemispherical lateral cells. A dichotomous key to Physalidiella species is provided.
