In the present study, a total of 33 Tremella specimens in China were collected and examined using molecular phylogenetic analysis based on a combined sequence dataset of the nuc rDNA internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region and nuc 28S rDNA D1/D2 domain in conjunction with the morphological characters. Four new species, namely Tremella basidiomaticola, T. cheejenii, T. erythrina, and T. salmonea, are newly described based on their distinct phylogenetic relationships and the comparison of morphological characters with known Tremella species. Our results indicate a high species diversity of Tremella waiting to be discovered.
