Pilophorus fruticosus is a little-known species of rock-dwelling fruticose lichen in the family Cladoniaceae. It was described in 2011 by Chinese scientists from specimens collected in Yunnan Province, southwestern China. The lichen forms a small greyish crust on rock surfaces from which arise branching, shrub-like stalks that repeatedly fork and end in single black, spherical fruiting bodies. It is known only from two closely spaced locations in the Cang Mountain range, where it grows on exposed ridges at around 3,500 metres elevation among open conifer-rhododendron woodland.

Lecaimmeria is a genus of lichen-forming fungi in the family Lecideaceae. Established in 2022, it comprises 13 species of lichens that grow on rock surfaces (saxicolous) and form a thin, crust-like covering (crustose) on their substrate. These lichens are characterised by their glossy, orange to red-brown outer layer (thallus) and sunken fruiting bodies (apothecia) with red-brown centres. Lecaimmeria species are typically found in harsh environments at high altitudes or latitudes, particularly in mountainous regions of western China and across parts of Eurasia. The genus was created to

Hypogymnia bulbosa is a species of foliose lichen in the family Parmeliaceae. Found in Southern China, it was described as a new species by Bruce McCune and Li-Song Wang in 2003. The type specimen was collected from the Zi ben Mountain in Cao County (Yunnan). There it was found growing on a spruce stump. It has also been recorded growing on the bark and wood of fir, willow, and Rhododendron. It is known to grow at elevations ranging between 2,800–3,800 metres (9,200–12,500 ft), generally in conifer forests. The lichen is characterized by features such as the rimmed holes on the lower surface

Placolecis sublaevis is a species of saxicolous (rock-dwelling), crustose lichen in the family Catillariaceae. It is found in Yunnan and Sichuan, China. The crust-like, radiating body of the lichen forms irregular patches or clumps and includes numerous false conidiomata, a type of asexual reproductive structure, within its thallus. Its lobes, dark brown and slightly flattened at the top, form larger groups at the edges and contain an upper layer composed of loosely interwoven cells and a lower inner tissue that varies from reddish-orange to white.

Placolecis kunmingensis is a species of saxicolous (rock-dwelling), crustose lichen in the family Catillariaceae. It is found in Yunnan, China. The lichen is characterised by a thallus that is areolate to squamulose in its centre, forming irregular patches or clumps 10–50 mm wide, as well as its ellipsoid or spherical ascospores with slightly thickened wall.

Immersaria ferruginea is a species of crustose lichen-forming fungus in the family Lecideaceae. It is a greyish-brown, rock-dwelling lichen with densely crowded, black fruiting bodies, found at alpine elevations of about 3,800–4,300 m in western China. The species was described in 2022 and is named for the rusty-brown tones of its thallus.

Immersaria aurantia is a species of crustose lichen-forming fungus in the family Lecideaceae. It is an orange, rock-dwelling lichen found at alpine elevations above 3,900 m in western China, including Tibet, Qinghai, and Sichuan. The species was described in 2022 and is distinguished by its bright orange surface patches and a predominantly green upper tissue layer in the fruiting bodies.

Hypogymnia tenuispora is a rare species of foliose lichen in the family Parmeliaceae. Found in China's Yunnan province, it is characterised by its uniquely narrow ascospores and crowded lobes, which help distinguish it from other similar Hypogymnia species.

Hypogymnia saxicola is a rare species of foliose lichen in the family Parmeliaceae. Found in Yunnan and Sichuan provinces of China, it forms delicate cushions on mossy rocks in subalpine regions. It is characterised by its slender, glossy brown lobes and unique chemistry.

Hypogymnia pendula is a rare species of foliose lichen in the family Parmeliaceae. It is characterised by its pendulous (hanging) growth form and distinct chemical composition.

Hypogymnia nitida is a species of foliose lichen in the family Parmeliaceae. It has a glossy dark brown upper surface and a strongly wrinkled, convoluted lower surface. Found in China, it was described as a new species in 2014.

Dictyonema yunnanum is a little-known species of basidiolichen in the family Hygrophoraceae. Found in a tropical area in Southwestern China, this species is characterised by its filamentous, micro-fruticulose thallus. A main distinguishing feature is the presence of erect fibrils with silvery or white tips.

Bryoria hengduanensis is a species of lichen of the genus Bryoria. It was described as new to science in 2003 by lichenologists Li-Song Wang and Hiroshi Harada. It is found in the Hengduan Mountains of southern China, where it grows on twigs and branches in coniferous forests at elevations of 3,000–4,000 metres (9,800–13,100 ft). The Hengduan Mountains is a region of high Bryoria biodiversity, as 24 species are known from this area. The lichen is fruticose, hair-like, hanging (pendent) from its substratum, and typically reaches lengths of 3–5 cm (1.2–2.0 in) long, although specimens up to 15

Anzia pseudocolpota is a little-known species of corticolous (bark-dwelling), foliose lichen in the family Parmeliaceae. It was first described as a new species in 2015 from specimens collected in the mountains of south-western China. The lichen is distinguished by its distinctive black central cord running through the middle and its growth on the bark of conifers and other trees in cool mountain forests.

Upretia squamulosa is a species of saxicolous (rock-dwelling), squamulose (scaly) lichen in the family Teloschistaceae. It was identified as a new species in 2019 from specimens collected in the hot, dry valleys of the Jinsha River system in Yunnan, China, in the hot, dry valleys of the Jinsha River system, at elevations between about 1,240 and 3,160 metres. The lichen forms greyish green to brown scaly growths up to 7 cm across on rock surfaces. It is distinguished chemically by the presence of gyrophoric and lecanoric acids.

Sulzbacheromyces yunnanensis is a species of basidiolichen in the family Lepidostromataceae. It is found in Yunnan, China.

Sulzbacheromyces sinensis is a species of basidiolichen in the family Lepidostromataceae. It is found in Asia.

Sulzbacheromyces fossicola is a species of basidiolichen in the family Lepidostromataceae. First described in 1950 by E. J. H. Corner as Clavaria fossicola, it is characterised by its dark green to indigo blue crusty growth form and distinctive white, club-shaped fruiting bodies that turn beige when dried. The species forms a thin layer on soil or rocks, where it lives in symbiosis with microscopic green algae. It is distributed across tropical and subtropical Asia, from India to Singapore, where it specifically grows on exposed yellow and red clay soils in shaded locations. The species was
