Ramicandelaber, a new genus of the Kickxellales, Zygomycetes

Abstract

Ramicandelaber, a new genus of Zygomycetes is erected to accommodate Ramicandelaber Iongisporus sp. nov. The fungus has hyphal septa with median plugs and forms homologous structures to sporocladia and pseudophialides. These characteristics suggest that it belongs to the Kickxellales, Zygomycetes.
