Abstract
Germination of ascospores, morphology and growth rate of colonies, and production of microconidial anamorphs of Encoelia pruinosa (Ell. & Everh.) Torkelson & Eckblad were investigated. Rate of germination was high (95–99% within 24 h) on 2% water agar and 2% malt extract agar. Growth rate ranged from medium (3.5–6.4 mm/day) to moderately rapid (>6.4 mm/day) on four media; the colonial morphology of different isolates varied with the media tested. Spherical micro-conidia were produced three ways: by ascospores functioning as phialides, by an Acreinoitium-like anamorph, and by a Myrioconium-like anamorph. The taxonomic implications of these anamorphic associations are discussed.
