ABSTRACT
While surveying saprotrophic microfungi on Syagrus coronata (Arecaceae), an endemic palm in Brazil, an unusual fungus was identified occurring on the dead leaves of this plant. Morphologically, it showed the key traits of Yunnanomyces, including semi-macronematous conidiophores, integrated conidiogenous cells and globose to subglobose, ellipsoidal or irregularly shaped muriform conidia. Phylogenetic analyses using ITS, LSU, SSU, and rpb2 locus sequences confirmed its placement as a unique lineage among described species of Yunnanomyces, leading us to introduce it as Yunnanomyces syagri sp. nov.
