Abstract
Rhizophlyctis rosea survives in dry soil through the sporangium, not the resting spore. It is deduced that, in nature, an aqueous soil extract occurring following rainfall provides the nitrogen source for the fungus to use in its growth and subsequent sporulation. The rhizoids of the fungus function more for mechanical anchorage than for nutrient absorption. In nature the fungus is a weak cellulose-decomposer.
