Trichoderma asiaticum is a fungus that was described from soil samples in China. T. asiaticum was isolated from environmental samples and characterized using morphological features and molecular phylogenetic analyses.

Etymology

The specific epithet comes from the Latin word asiaticum.

Taxonomy

The type species was collected in July of 2007 by Zefen Yu and Yifan Lv in Luliang county, Yunnan province, China at an elevation of 1800 m (24°57'22.0"N 103°46'30.0"E). It was then sequenced and formally described in 2021 by Zefen Yu and Xing Du. The type specimen (holotype YMF 1.00352) is stored at the Conservation and Utilization of Bio-Resources in Yunnan, in a metabolically inactive state (deep freezing). The ex-type culture is stored at the China General Microbiological Culture Collection Center (CGMCC 3.19085), and has a MycoBank# of 825470.1

T. asiaticum is closely related phylogenetically to T. guizhouense, T. pholiotae, T. pseudoasiaticum, and T. simile in the complex Harzianum Clade Complex.
