Importance and distribution
Paucispora comprises three species. Paucispora kunmingensis has been reported from decay twigs of Malus halliana (Rosaceae) in Asia (China (Yunnan)). Paucispora quadrisporum was found on twigs of Liriodendron tulipifera (Magnoliaceae) while P. versicolor has been isolated from twigs of Acer (Sapindaceae) in Japan (Honshu).
