Abstract
Several strains of a previously unknown fungus with an upper temperatu re limit for growth at 18-19 degrees C were isolated from soils of the Alpine regions of western and eastern Pamir. Peculiarities of the mor phology and developmental cycle do not allow this organism to be assig ned to any known genus of mycelial or yeast fungi. Therefore, it is de scribed as a species of a new genus of primitive basidiomycetes-obliga te psychrophiles with a yeast-like type of growth.
