Abstract
Chytrid-like fungal sporangia are described occurring in saccate pollen grains of Pennsylvanian age. Both endo- and epibiotic sporangia are present, and may exhibit discharge papillae and a coarse rhizomycelium. Sporangial features, choice of substrate, and the presence of a light refractile body in presumed zoospores suggest relationships with the Chytridiales.This publication has 19 references indexed in Scilit:
