CHLAMYDOSPORES IN HYPHODERMA SAM BUCI
Fig. 4 and 5.
Species offungi that produ ce different chlarnydospores or a different conidial
state mu st be different species. ERIKSSO N & RYVARD EN (1976:577) write
in the descripti on of Hyphoderma sambuci ( P ERS.) JUL.: "There is a variation
in size and number of the cystidiols, as well as in size and shape ofthe spores
that may indicate that H. sambuci is a species group rath er than a homogenous
taxon."
Two collections of this fungus from Denmark show different chlamydospores.
