Abstrakt: Trichoderma taxi sp. nov. was isolated as an endophytic fungus of Taxus mairei growing at the Guanshan Nature Reserve of Jiangxi province, China, and characterized by a combination of phenotypic characteristics and gene analyses of ITS1 and 2, tef1 and rpb2 gene sequences. Distinctive morphological characters of Trichoderma taxi are its white small subglobose conidia and pachybasium-like conidiophores aggregated into compact pustules. Phylogenetically, Trichoderma taxi forms an independent branch in vicinity to the Lutea ( Hypocrea lutea, Hypocrea melanomagna) and Pachybasioides ( Hypocrea pachybasioides, Hypocrea minutispora, Hypocrea pilulifera, Hypocrea parapilulifera, Hypocrea lacuwombatensis and Hypocrea stellata) clades.
