Hyphomycetes from Canadian streams. V. Two new conidial Basidiomycetes

Two new taxa with affinity to Heterobasidiomycetes are described from strea ms in Nova Scotia and New Brunswick. Both taxa produce white fast growing c olonies. Anguillomyces acadiensis forms soft sclerotia in the central part of the colony and has relatively large, scolecoform conidia without septa. Nodulospora inconstans fruits synnematously on sterilized tree leaves. Its conidia are retrogressively thallic. They bear variable numbers of primary and secondary branches and usually one more or less well-developed clamp at the base of one periapical branch.
