Unveiling freshwater fungi from the Hanjiang River Basin in South China: Introducing Neolindgomyces guttulatus sp. nov. (Lindgomycetaceae, Pleosporales)
A downstream Hanjiang River collection in China had distinctive morphology and multilocus phylogeny, supporting Neolindgomyces guttulatus as a new species and the first Chinese freshwater record of the genus. The work expands fungal diversity knowledge but does not establish ecological function or distribution.
