Up to now, 1626 species in 644 genera of fungi have been reported from caves and mines worldwide. In this study, we investigated the mycobiota in karst caves in Southwest China. In total, 251 samples from thirteen caves were collected and 2344 fungal strains were obtained using dilution plate method. Preliminary ITS analyses showed that these strains belonged to 610 species in 253 genera. Among these species, 88.0 % belonged to Ascomycota, 8.0 % Basidiomycota, 1.9 % Mortierellomycota, 1.9 % Mucoromycota, and 0.2 % Glomeromycota. The majority of these species have been previously known from other environments, and some of them are known as mycorrhizal or pathogenic fungi. About 52.8% of these species were discovered for the first time from karst caves. Based on morphological and phylogenetic distinctions, 33 new species were identified and described in this paper. Meanwhile, one new genus of Cordycipitaceae, Gamszarea, and five new combinations are established. This work further demonstrated that Karst caves encompass a high fungal diversity, including a number of previously unknown species. } }
