03E387DF47486E4CFF0ECE925A84FD60.taxon	description	Description: — Sporocarps: Unknown. Spores: Produced singly in soil, pale yellow, spherical to sub-spherical, occasionally ellipsoidal or irregular. Spores 104 – 213 × 135 – 246 μm, contents colorless with transparent oil droplets of varying sizes, showing no reaction to Melzer's reagent; wall composed of three distinct layers (sw 1, sw 2, sw 3), with sw 1 being a transient wall, hyaline, about 0.5 – 2.5 μm thick, showing no reaction to Melzer's reagent; sw 2 is a lamellar wall, pale yellow to yellow-brown, about 0.4 – 1.5 μm thick, thickening to 4.5 μm at the base of the spore, showing no reaction to Melzer's reagent; sw 3 is light yellow to yellow-brown, about 0.6 μm thick, usually tightly adhering to sw 2 even in vigorously crushed spores, showing no reaction to Melzer's reagent. Subtending hypha single, funnel-shaped, connection point width ranging from 16 – 25 μm, light yellow to yellow-brown, straight or curved, hyphal wall (shw 1, shw 2, shw 3) continues from sw 1, sw 2, sw 3, connection pore is closed by a septum formed by shw 3. Mycorrhizal associations: — In natural conditions, this fungus was found in the rhizosphere soil of Uncaria rhynchophylla. In greenhouse conditions, it successfully formed intraradical hyphae and arbuscules within the roots of Sorghum bicolor. Specimens examined: — Rhizosphere soil of Uncaria rhynchophylla, Huaxi District, Guiyang City, Guizhou Province (26 ° 27 ′ 12 ” N, 106 ° 39 ′ 21 ” E; elevation 1097.5 m. Slides with spores permanently mounted with PVLG and PVLG + Melzer's reagent were deposited. Holotype deposited in Fungarium (HMAS), (HMAS 353838). Isotypes deposited in the Plant Physiology Laboratory of Guizhou University (DG _ HX _ G 01 – G 05).	en	Suo, Man-Yu, Long, Chun-Li, He, Rong-Jian, Chen, De-Yao, Jiang, Long (2025): Funneliformis huaxica, a new species of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (Glomeromycota) from Guiyang, China.
