A survey of freshwater fungi in Thailand resulted in the discovery of two new species inFuscosporellaceae, herein described as Fuscosporella aquatica and Mucispora phangngaensis.Fuscosporella aquatica has sporodochial colonies, irregular ellipsoidal and dark brown conidiawith vesicular conidiogenous cells. Mucispora phangngaensis has macronematous, solitaryconidiophores with percurrent proliferations and dark brown obovoid conidia. Phylogeneticanalysis based on combined LSU and ITS sequence data support their placement in Fuscosporellaand Mucispora (Fuscosporellaceae, Fuscosporellales). Both species formed distinct clades fromtheir type species and present as the second species in each genus. Descriptions and illustrations ofthe new taxa are provided. DNA sequence data of Parafuscosporella mucosa (from ex-type strain)are provided in this study, and confirmed its phylogenetic placement.
