In this study, we examined 104 specimens from 19 provinces in China. Through morphological analysis, we identified a group of species with reduced lime formation, a feature typically associated with the Physaraceae, but with key morphological similarities to the <i>Diderma</i>. A comprehensive phylogenetic analysis was conducted using three genes (nSSU, <i>EF-1α</i>, and <i>COI</i>), resulting in a dataset of 452 sequences from 116 species. Notably, we identified a distinct clade within Didymiaceae containing species with fewer lime knots, a trait traditionally linked to Physaraceae. This clade, designated as the new genus <i>Neodiderma</i>, was phylogenetically positioned as a sister group to <i>Diderma</i>, potentially representing a transitional group between Didymiaceae and Physaraceae, supported by both morphological and molecular evidence.

The currently existing physico-chemical methods have certain limitations, restricting their wide-scale application. The use of biological agents like bacteria, algae, and fungi can help eliminate heavy metals without adversely affecting flora and fauna. Due to their inherent ability to withstand adverse environmental conditions, nowadays, mycoremediation approaches are receiving considerable attention for heavy metal removal from contaminated sites. In this review, we emphasised the role of white rot fungi in remediation of heavy metal along with different factors influencing biosorption, effects on exposed fungi, and the mechanisms involved. Bibliometric analysis tools have been applied to literature search and trend analysis of the research on white rot fungi-mediated heavy metal removal. Annual growth rates and average citations per document are 5.08% and 35.48, respectively. <i>Phanerochaete chrysosporium</i>, <i>Pleurotus ostreatus</i>, and <i>Trametes versicolor</i> have been widely explored for the remediation of heavy metals. In addition to providing some prospects, the review also highlighted a few limitations, including inconsistent removal and effects of environmental factors influencing the functioning of white rot fungi.
