Description
Amphibambusa D. Q. Dai & K. D. Hyde, Fungal Diversity 72: 7 (2015)
Notes.
Species of Amphibambusa are saprobic fungi that primarily colonize dead plant materials, especially culms of Bambusoideae members and other monocots. They also occur on submerged decaying wood in freshwater, indicating a broader ecological niche that includes both terrestrial and aquatic environments. The genus is known from tropical Asia, particularly China and Thailand (Hyde et al. 2020; Zhou et al. 2024; Liu et al. 2025). Seven species are currently accepted in Index Fungorum (2025) and with the addition reported here, the total increases to eight. Our record represents the fifth Amphibambusa species documented from Yunnan Province, China.
