      Phylogenetic tree generated from MP analysis based on ITS sequence data of Paramyrothecium sp. AUMC 14059, Paramyrothecium sp. AUMC 14060, Striaticonidium brachysporum AUMC 13377 and Metarhizium pingshaense AUMC 14353 (in blue color) compared to other related ITS sequences in GenBank. Bootstraps (1000 replications) for ML/MP ≥ 50% are indicated above/below the respective nodes. The tree is rooted to Stachybotrys limonispora CBS 128809 as out group (in red color).

      (a−c), Paramyrothecium sp. AUMC 14059: (a) 21-day-old colonies on Cz at 25 °C; (b) conidiophores bearing penicillate branched phialides; (c) cylindrical conidia rounded at both ends. (d−f) Paramyrothecium sp. AUMC 14060: (d) 14-day-old colonies on Cz at 25 °C with abundant white aerial mycelium; (e) conidiophores bearing penicillate branched phialides; (f) conidia (scale bars = 10 µm).
