Abstract
Soil fungi represent the most abundant and diverse taxonomic group on Earth. Tropical forest soil-based habitats contain both edaphic and climatic factors that boost fungal activities in soil. Despite having vital functions in terrestrial ecosystems, information on diversity, taxonomy, and ecological preferences of soil fungi on a global scale is lacking. This study focuses on fungal species inhabiting tropical forest soils in Krabi, Thailand. Fungal isolation was performed using the soil dilution plate method, and species delimitation was conducted via morphological characterization and phylogenetic analyses. Chloridium gonytrichii and Kionochaeta microspora are introduced herein as the soil-inhabiting records from Thailand. For each species, comprehensive descriptions and micrographs are provided.
