Abstract

A mass-ascospore culture of Coprotinia cuniculi (Boud.) Dennis was grown under controlled environmental conditions and produced mature apothecia. From these apothecia, single-ascospore cultures were isolated and after a growth period of 4 to 5 months they produced mature apothecia. The fungus was shown to be self-fertile. The new combination Rutstroemia cuniculi (Boud.) Elliott is proposed.
