Strain SYPF 8335T grew very slowly and formed white colonies. Phylogenetic analysis of four loci indicated that strain SYPF 8335T was placed in the Drechmeria clade with Drechmeria campanulata as its closest phylogenetic neighbour. The nucleotide differences between strain SYPF 8335T and D. campanulata are 30 substitutions in the internal transcriber region region. A key morphological feature that differentiates the two fungi is that D. campanulata produces campanulate conidia. Combined with the morphology and molecular analyses, a new species named Drechmeria panacis sp. nov., is proposed., UL https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/ijsem/10.1099/ijsem.0.002971
