Abstract

<br> During a survey of saprobic fungi, fresh specimens were collected from decaying wood in terrestrial habitats in Guizhou and Hainan provinces, southern China. Two novel species,<br> Helicosporium qixianlingense<br> and<br> H. tongrenense<br> , are introduced based on phylogenetic analyses of a combined dataset (ITS, LSU,<br> tef<br> 1-α, and<br> rpb<br> 2) and morphological evidence. Comprehensive descriptions, illustrations, notes, and phylogenetic analyses supporting the taxonomic placement of these new taxa are provided. These findings are significant for exploring the species diversity of<br> Helicosporium<br> in southern China.<br>
