New fungi species discovered in China

A subterranean expedition by a group of researchers in China has led to the discovery of four novel fungal species on bat carcasses.
The four new species are
Mortierella rhinolophicola
M multispora
M yunnanensis
Neocosmospora pallidimors.
Neocosmospora pallidimors is particularly important as the Neocosmospora genus is known to contain numerous aggressive pathogens that can infect mammals.
Three out of the four new species belong to Mortierella, a genus of well-known saprophytic fungi (meaning they obtain nutrients through dissolving organic matter).
Fusarium incarnatum, Mucor hiemalis and Trichoderma harzanium comprised the final three species.
White-nose syndrome, caused by fungi Pseudogymnoascus destructans, has claimed at least six million bat lives since 2006.
