A new species of Phialocephala (Hyphomycetes)
A new species in the Hyphomycete genus Phialocephala is described. The new species Phialocephala virens produces an intense greyish green to turquoise colour on certain media and has smaller conidia, shorter phialides, and shorter conidiophores than previously described Phialocephala species. Its tolerance to low levels of the antibiotic cycloheximide suggests the fungus may have affinities with species of Ophiostoma. Cultures of the fungus cause a bright green stain when inoculated onto sapwood of some conifers. Key words: Phialocephala virens, new species, Hyphomycetes, sapstain.
