3 SPECIES OF HYPOCREA WITH STIPITATE STROMATA AND TRICHODERMA ANAMORPHS

Hypocrea brevipes, H. poronioidea and H. capitata, a new species, were grown in pure culture from individual part-ascospores. Each produced a Trichoderma anamorph, but none of the anamorphs were referable to an y named Trichoderma aggregate species. Stromata with fertile ascospore s formed in cultures derived from single part-ascospores of H. poronio idea. In addition, a hyphomycetous, Acremonium-like synanamorph with h yaline conidia borne in slime formed in cultures of H. poronioidea. Th e distribution of H. poronioidea is extended from the Americas to Afri ca. These Hypocrea species and their anamorphs are described.
