摘要

Nemania serpens? (Pers.: Fr.) S.F. Gray var.? hydnicola? (Schwein.) Y.-M. Ju & J.D. Rogers is reported for the first time in Canada, fruiting on a decaying? Fomitopsis pinicola? sporocarp collected in Victoria, BC. Freshly ejected ascospores were germinated in culture, and produced both a? Geniculosporium? anamorph and the teleomorph on oatmeal agar. The isolate failed to produce teleomorphic stromata on scratch malt extract medium.
