Abstract
SUMMARY A key to the five species of Nectria that develop on sporangia or aethalia of Myxomycetes and a description of each species and its imperfect state (when known) are given. Two new species, Nectria hirsuta and Nectria sporangiicola, are described. Nectria myxomyceticola nom. nov. (Hypomyces exiguus Pat.), Nectria candicans (Plowr.) comb. nov. (Hypomyces candicans Plowr.), Acremonium fungicola (Sacc.) stat. nov. (Diplosporium album var. fungicolum Sacc.), and Stilbella tomentosa var. ovalispora (A. L. Smith) Rogerson comb. nov. (Stilbum tomentosum var. ovalispora A. L. Smith) are proposed. Four species have been grown in culture from solitary ascospores and their characteristics in culture are described. A discussion of the genera Nectriopsis Maire and Hyphonectria (Sacc.) Petch is included. The haploid chromosome number of 4 is reported for Nectria violacea and N. candicans.
