Taxonomic studies on new or critical fungi of non-pathogenic Onygenales 3

Abstract

Two new species of soil-borne onygenalean fungi are described and illustrated: Arachniotus insolitus, isolated from forest soil in Kenya, and Myxotrichum stellatum, isolated from forest soil in Japan. A further occurrence of Gymnoascus uncinatus, isolated from Canadian soil, is reported and some observations are added, especially in connection with the cultural appearance of this rarely encountered species.
