Abstract

Ascospore appendages of two species of Linocarpon and three species of Neolinocarpon are illustrated using electron microscopy. The structure of these appendages can be used to distinguish between species. The ascospore appendages of species in both genera, however, were found to have similar structure. Thus, species of Linocarpon and Neolinocarpon could not be delineated at the generic level based on ascospore appendage structure.
