Abstract
In recent years, significant advancements have been made in the taxonomy and phylogenetics of Lycogala, leading to the description of numerous new species. However, Lycogala in China has never been systematically revised, and only eight species have been recorded. In this study, specimens of Lycogala from 22 sites in 11 provinces or cities of subtropical China were studied in terms of morphology, two-gene phylogenetic analysis (nuclear 18S rDNA and cytochrome oxidase subunit I), and ASAP species delimitation. We provide a checklist, which includes 21 species of Lycogala collected in subtropical China. These species include (1) seven species already known from the country, for which we report new localities, (2) four species, new to China (Lycogalaalisaulianovae, L.fossiculatum, L.skovorodaense, and L.succineum) and (3) ten species new to science, including L.annulatumsp. nov., L.chinensesp. nov., L.convexumsp. nov., L.fasciculovesiculiferumsp. nov., L.helvolumsp. nov., L.indirubinumsp. nov., L.nigrumsp. nov., L.planovesiculiferumsp. nov., L.projectumsp. nov., and L.uviformesp. nov. A comprehensive morphological description, detailed illustrations, molecular barcoding data, and putative position in phylogenies are provided for the newly described taxa.

期刊介绍:
The flagship journal of the International Mycological Association. IMA Fungus is an international, peer-reviewed, open-access, full colour, fast-track journal. Papers on any aspect of mycology are considered, and published on-line with final pagination after proofs have been corrected; they are then effectively published under the International Code of Nomenclature for algae, fungi, and plants. The journal strongly supports good practice policies, and requires voucher specimens or cultures to be deposited in a public collection with an online database, DNA sequences in GenBank, alignments in TreeBASE, and validating information on new scientific names, including typifications, to be lodged in MycoBank. News, meeting reports, personalia, research news, correspondence, book news, and information on forthcoming international meetings are included in each issue
