Abstract
Three new species of Phaeoclavulina from China are described: Phaeoclavulinabicolor, P.echinoflava, and P.jilinensis. Recognition of the new species is supported by morphological and molecular evidence. Phylogenetic analyses of concatenated ITS1-5.8S-ITS2 and nuclear large subunit sequences support the establishment of the new species and their placement within the Phaeoclavulina clade. A key to the known Phaeoclavulina species in China is provided.
