Abstract
Chrysosporium pilosum sp. nov., a keratinophilic hyphomycete isolated from river sediments and soil, is described. The fungus is characteriz ed by its restricted growth on agar media at 25/37 degrees C and the p roduction of conidia on deflected short protrusions, but its most prom inent feature is the presence of broad, simple, thick-walled, brownish , sterile hyphae. The taxonomic position of the species is discussed.
