Yunnanomyces (Y.), was introduced by Tibpromma et al. (2018) with Y. pandanicola as the type species, which was found as a saprobe on decaying leaves or wood in terrestrial habitats in China. Zhang et al. (2019c) described Y. phoenicis on fallen rachides and leaves of Phoenix paludosa. Currently, four species of Yunnanomyces are listed in Species Fungorum (2024). To date, no species of this genus have been reported from peat swamp forests. In this study, we introduce Y. narathiwatensis as a novel species found on Eleiodoxa conferta from the peat swamp forest in Narathiwat, Thailand.
Type species: Yunnanomyces pandanicola Tibpromma & K.D. Hyde, Fungal Diversity 93: 75 (2018).
