Many Isaria-like species have recently been moved into more appropriate genera.However, more robust molecular phylogenetic analyses are still required for wild pony rebajas Isaria-like fungi to ensure accurate taxonomic identification.We analyzed these Isaria-like strains using multi-gene phylogenetics.Cryptic diversity was discovered in several Isaria farinosa strains, and two new species, Samsoniella pseudogunnii and S.

pupicola, are proposed.Our results reveal that more attention needs to be paid to cryptic intraspecific diversity across different isolates and genotypes of the Isaria-like species, some of which will need tonic shower cap to be transferred to Samsoniella.Interestingly, S.hepiali, with a very broad host distribution, has been widely used as a medicinal and edible cordycipitoid fungus.
