A new asexual fungus Blodgettia sinensis is described and illustrated from a specimen collected on dead branches of an unidentified broadleaf tree in Lushan Mountain, China. The fungus differs from other described Blodgettia species in its ellipsoidal, brown, 3(–6)-euseptate conidia with rounded apices.
