ABSTRACT: Daldinia albofibrosa, Daldinia pyrenaica, and Daldinia steglichii, three species with yellowish KOH extractable stromatal pigments, are newly described, based on previously undescribed combinations of teleomorphic and anamorphic characters. Their status as separate species is confirmed by HPLC-based secondary metabolite profiles, ultrastructural examination of ascospores by SEM, and genetic fingerprints.
