Abstract

SUMMARYThe species of Absidia, except those with globose or cylindrical sporangiospores reported in earlier papers, are described and include: A. verticillata, A. hyalospora, A. blakesleeana, A. repens, A. parricida, and a new species A. zychae. A following paper will describe the remaining species in this group, but these additional forms are given in a key to all the species in this paper. Also included is the single species with cuneate-shaped spores, A. cuneospora. In addition a new genus, Chlamydoabsidia and its single species, C. padeni, are described based upon an Absidia-like fungus possessing regularly dark-colored, septate spores on aerial stalks arising from the stolons. The zygospores are described for all of the species except C. padeni, A. hyalospora, and A. zychae. One species, C. parricida, is parasitic on other mucors.
