Abstract
A new species of Crocicreas is reported on overwintered stems of Epifagus v irginianus in New York State in apparently non-organic association with scl erotia of Sclerotium orobanches, itself a rarely reported fungus. The chang ing concepts of the generic names Crocicreas and Cyathicula are discussed i n regard to placement of the new taxon.
