Color of stromata pale orange-yellow when fresh, brown when mature, with a diameter of 1–4 mm and a thickness of 1–2 mm. Immature, surface of stromata finely velvety, upon maturity, tuberculate with fine granules or slightly rugose. Outline circular, oblong or irregularly lobed. Surface smooth, tubercular or rugose, when young finely velvety. Ascomata 120–190 × 80–140 μm (x – = 145 × 115 μm, n = 30), numerous, with 10–30 ascomata present, and are sub-globose or pear-shaped in form. Ostioles flush with the surface, 18–30 μm wide at the apex, 26–38 μm high (n = 20). Peridium 13–24 μm (n = 60) thick at the base, composed of hyaline textura globosa. Asci 60–90 × 3.5–6 μm (x – = 85 × 4.5 μm, n = 30), short stipe, containing 13 - ascospores, apex not thickened, hyaline, cylindrical. Ascospores 3–6 × 2.5–4.5 μm (x – = 4.5 × 3 μm, n = 50), hyaline, containing 1–2 oil droplets, single-celled, non-septate, and sub-globose. Asexual morph: Conidiophores simple structure, with 1–3 solitary phialides borne at the tips of lateral branches. Phialides measure 4–18 × 1.5–3 μm (x – = 14 × 2.5 μm, n = 20), mostly lageniform, less commonly subfusiform, and typically do not thicken near the base. Conidia vary in size and shape, measuring 2.5–4.5 × 2–4 μm (x – = 4 × 3 μm, n = 50), oval, ellipsoid, and hyaline, smooth-surfaced.</p><p>Material examined.</p><p>China • Sichuan Province, Chengdu City, <a href="https://tb.plazi.org/GgServer/search?materialsCitation.longitude=103.713875&amp;materialsCitation.latitude=31.202398" title="Search Plazi for locations around (long 103.713875/lat 31.202398)">Dujiangyan</a>, Primitive Forest of Bashania faberi (31°12'8.63"N, 103°42'49.96"E, Alt. 1212 m), 11 December 2023, Feihu Wang, WFH 202312013, (SICAU 25-0179, holotype), ex-type culture SICAUCC 25-0151 . ibid.

From a morphological perspective, only the asexual stage of T. dorothopsis has been described, and there are differences in conidia between these two Trichoderma species. The conidia of T. bashania are elliptical or ovoid, whereas those of T. dorothopsis are globose to subglobose (Tomah et al. 2020). Phylogenetic analysis indicates that the new taxon T. bashania (SICAU 25-0179) is closely related to T. dorothopsis (HZA 5 E) (Fig. 1). However, our strain exhibits nucleotide differences from T. dorothopsis in the rpb 2 region amounting to 4.7 % (39 / 822, 3 gaps), 1.7 % (13 / 753, 0 gap) differences in tef 1 - α. The PHI test revealed no significant recombination event between our strain and the closely related taxa (Φw = 1.00) (Fig. 2). These differences also support the classification of T. bashania as a distinct species separate from T. dorothopsis .</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/C2CC0FD87E195EAF8E273B0B8C35EDF4	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

From a morphological perspective, our newly described taxon, Trichoderma mianyangensis, shares some common characteristics with T. parahongkuii isolated from soil in a Chimonanthus praecox orchard.
