Dimastigosporium yanense, a new coprophilous fungus from the forests of Western Ghats in Karnataka State, India

Abstract

Dimastigosporium yanense sp.nov., isolated from cattle clung collected from the forests of Western Ghats, Karnataka State, India, is described and illustrated. D. yanense differs from the genus type species, D. musimonum, by the production of subcylindrical, smaller conidia with an apical and three basal appendages. The conidia develop holoblastically through one of the basal appendages.
