Specimen examined.

CHINA, Yunnan Province, Lijiang, Laojunshan , 26.6413°N, 99.7672°E, alt. ca. 3500 m, on twigs of Juniperus sp. ( Cupressaceae ), 21 Jun. 2021, C. L. Hou, M. J. Guo, and H. Zhou, HOU 1835 ( BJTC 2021146 ) .

Notes.

In the multi-gene phylogenetic tree, the sequences of this undescribed species form a highly supported sister clade with the sequences of Cry. carbostomaticus and Cry. niger . The similarity of the ITS rDNA sequences of Cryptococcomyces sp. 1 with Cry. carbostomaticus and Cry. niger are 98 % and 96 %, respectively. As mature ascomata were not found in this specimen, it was not possible to conduct detailed morphological studies.
