Muscodor cinnamomi, a new endophytic species from Cinnamomum bejolghota

Muscodor cinnamomi is described as a new species, endophytic within leaf tissues of Cinnamomum bejolghota (Lauraceae) in Doi Suthep-Pui National Park, Northern Thailand. Molecular analysis indicated differences from the five previously described Muscodor spp. Volatile organic compounds analysis showed that M. cinnamomi produced azulene (differentiating it from M. crispans) but did not produce naphthalene (differentiating it from M. albus, M. roseus, and M. vitigenus).
