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.

Immersaria venusta is a species of rock-dwelling, crustose lichen-forming fungus in the family Lecideaceae. It is a rusty brown lichen with flat black fruiting bodies, found at alpine elevations of about 3,900–4,300 m in western China. The species was described in 2022 and is distinguished from related species by the shape and colour of its surface patches and its smaller ascospores.

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.

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.
