Abstract

The coexistence in the same pycnidial conidioma of discrete ampulliform and hyaline conidiogenous cells and integrated conidiogenous cells on filiform, septate conidiophores, is described in Pyrenochaeta dolichi. A new Monodictys-like synanamorph is also reported in this species. Monodictys-like conidia are produced on lateral branches from the vegetative hyphae and germinate through the conidiogenous scar. The taxonomic position of P. dolichi is discussed since there is no suitable place for this fungus in the current systematic schemes for this group of fungi.
