Rajeshkumar and Sharma (2013) introduced Tamhinispora (Ta.), to accommodate Ta. indica, the type species, which was found on decaying culms of Bambusa bambos in India. Currently, three accepted species of Tamhinispora are listed in Species Fungorum (2024). To date, no species of this genus have been reported from peat swamp forests. In this study, we describe Ta. narathiwatensis as a novel species, saprobic on submerged rachides of Eleiodoxa conferta from the peat swamp forest in Narathiwat, Thailand.
Type species: Tamhinispora indica Rajeshk. & Rahul Sharma, Mycosphere 4(2): 167 (2013).
Other accepted species: Species Fungorum – search Tamhinispora.
