Fungal diversity in landfill soil from a waste treatment plant in Hebei, China with the description of Scytalidium asiaticum sp. nov. (Helotiales, Ascomycota)
Soil is one of the most favored habitats for fungi, but fungal diversity from plastic-contaminated soil has rarely been explored. This study focused on landfill soil at a waste treatment plant in Hebei, China, resulting in the isolation of 62 strains. These strains were identified to 25 species, belonging to the genera Alternaria, Aspergillus, Beauveria, Cephalotrichum, Cladosporium, Fusarium, Gliomastix, Marquandomyces, Metarhizium, Mortierella, Mucor, Paraphaeosphaeria, Penicillium, Pseudogymnoascus, Scytalidium, …
