Abstract
In the examination of agricultural seeds for the presence of seed-borne fungi, five species of Sordaria have been isolated. Three species, S. fimicola (Rob.) Ces. & De Not. isolated from a wide variety of seeds, S. humana (Fuckel) Winter isolated from corn, and S. setosa Winter isolated from beets, are common coprophilous fungi. Two species, S. inaequalis Cain isolated from a variety of seeds, and S. curvispora Cain from carrot and celery seed are described for the first time. The fungi do not appear to be of any pathological significance.Keywords
