039387B2D624F439FF52CB2BFE15FE5B.taxon	description	Teleomorph: Stromata emerging from the pupal head, 2 – 10 in clusters, occasionally branched, fleshy, pale yellow to yellowish. Fertile area cylindrical to clavate, 3 ­ – 16 × 0.9 – 3 ­ mm. Perithecia 3 ­ 3 ­ 0 – 450 × 150 – 250 μm, semi-immersed, ovoid, yellow. Asci 70 – 260 × 1.7 – 4 μm, cylindrical to slightly clavate, hyaline, disarticulate, with a thickened apical cap. Apical cap hemispherical, 1.26 – 2.81 μm in height and 0.48 – 2.26 μm in width. Ascospores not observed. Anamorph: Synnemata arising from the pupae of Lepidoptera, gregarious, 14 – 54 × 2 – 3.5 mm, unbranched. Stipes pale yellow, cylindrical to clavate, producing a mass of conidia on the synnemata, appearing white and powdery. Colonies on PDA reaching 60 – 100 mm in diameter after 20 days at 21 ℃, appearing raised, white and floccose hyphae on the top side. Prolonged incubation after 30 days may result in the production of synnemata. Hyphae smooth-walled, septate, hyaline, 1 – 2 μm in width. Conidiophores cylindrical, hyaline, smooth-walled, predominantly slender with occasional short-stalked variants, 5.0 – 10.0 × 1.0 – 2.8 μm. Phialides solitary or verticillate, usually with a slightly swollen basal part tapering toward the apex, 5.0 – 8.0 μm long; basal dimensions 2.3 ­ – 3 ­. 5 × 1.2 – 2.0 μm; apical dimensions 1.3 ­ – 2.7 × 0.5 – 1.0 μm. Conidia ovoid, occasionally elliptical, irregularly inclined, arranged in imbricate chains forming annulations at phialide apices or dispersed as solitary units, 3 ­ 0 – 6.2 × 1.5 – 2.8 μm.	en	Long, Chun-Yan, Gou, Wei, Guan, Jing-Qiang, Fei, Gang-Xiang, Tian, Hui-Lin, Shen, Juan, Cai, Na-Na, Jiang, Long, Feng, Yu-Cai, Feng, Ming-Qiao, Zou, Xiao (2025): Cordyceps mopanshiensis, a new species from Guizhou, China.
