Enumeration of Remarkable Japanese Discomycetes (5): First Records of one Operculate and two Inoperculate Discomycetes in Japan

Three remarkable discomycetes (one operculate and two inoperculate) documented for the first time in Japan are described and illustrated: Bisporella discedens (Helotiaceae, Helotiales), Proliferodiscus alboviridis (Hyaloscyphaceae, Helotiales), and Ramsbottomia asperior (Pyrone- mataceae, Pezizales). Sequences of their ITS-5.8S region (barcoding region) were obtained and BLAST searched to confirm and evaluate their taxonomic position.
