TheAsterophomaanamorph ofChaenothecopsis savonicaand its hyphomycetous synanamorph

摘要

A coelomycetous anamorph was obtained in axenic spore cultures ofChaenothecopsis savonica(Mycocaliciaceae, Cali-ciales). This anamorph is described. The anamorph has also been found on specimens collected in the field. A coelomycetous anamorph has not earlier been reported fromChaenothecopsis. The similarity between the anamorph ofC.savonicaandAsterophoma mazaediicola, a lichenicolous coelomycete occurring in the mazaedia ofCaliciumspecies, is striking.Asterophoma mazaediicolawas grown from conidia, and conidiomata developed in culture. It is suggested thatA.mazaediicolais the anamorph of aChaenothecopsisspecies. In some cultures ofC.savonica, aPhialophora-likehyphomycetous synanamorph developed. Key words: Mycocaliciaceae, Chaenothecopsis, Asterophoma, Phialophora, anamorphs, cultures.
