Abstract
SUMMARY Most isolates of a Pythium sp. common to forest and agricultural soils of Southern United States formed only sporangia on hempseed agar medium. Paired matings on the same medium demonstrated that oospores are produced in abundance when the hyphae of compatible strains made contact. A few isolates were homothallic. On the basis of the heterothallic reaction and morphology of the antheridia the fungus has been named Pythium sylvaticum.Keywords
