Abstract
Ascocarps of Eleutherascus peruvianus sp. nov., a simple ascomycete isolated from soil from Peru, consist of only 1-2 (rarely 3) asci and a few sterile hyphae. The asci are without a peridium, globose to subglobose and typically 8-spored. The ascospores are brownish, globose to subglobose, and ornamented with spines, short ridges, and a longitudinal ridge. E. peruvianus differs from the type species, E. lectardii, in cultural characters and ornamentation of ascospores. Although Eleutherascus is retained in the Plectomycetes near Arachniotus and Amauroascus, it relates in some characters to Ascodesmis in the Discomycetes.
