Abstract
Harposporium microsporum sp. nov. was isolated from a sample of rabbit dung collected from Wellington Country Park in Hampshire. The fungus was infecting a small species of Rhabditis (Nematoda) which was presen t in the dung sample at the time of collection. Infection was by means of microspores produced in the aqueous phase of the substrate. Large curved aerial spores typical of Harposporium were produced in subcultu re and pure culture.
