WARDOMYCES AND ASTEROMYCES

Abstract
Two new species, Wardomyces hughesii Hennebert and W. humicola Hennebert and Barron, are added to the genus Wardomyces Brooks and Hansford, which was described in 1923 for the single species W. anomala Brooks and Hansford. The three species, isolated from decayed wood, forest soil, greenhouse soil, or animal products, are described and illustrated.The related genus Asteromyces and the single species A. cruciatus F. and Mme Moreau are validated by the provision of Latin diagnoses and illustrated.The relationship between both genera is discussed.
