New records and new species of <i>Podospora</i> from East Africa

Abstract

Podospora deltoides and P. minipistillata spp.nov. are described and illustrated. Podospora cainii is placed in synonymy with P. prethopodalis and P. papillispora is considered to be an abnormal collection possibly referrable to P. papilliformis. Cultural information is provided for P. curvicolla, P. curvispora, and P. curvuloides. Numerous records for many previously recognized taxa are reported. Podospora austro-americana, P. curvuloides, P. ostlingospora, and P. platensis are new to Africa while P. curvicolla, P. curvispora, P. fimiseda, P. hyalopilosa, and P. tetraspora are additions for East Africa. Many new substrates are recorded.
