Abstract

Phillipsia rugospora and P. guatemalensis are described as new species from Costa Rica and Guatemala, Central America. Phillipsia rugospora is distinguished by its yellow hymenium and wrinkled (under the SEM) ascospores. Phillipsia guatemalensis has a rosaceous tan hymenium, relatively thin flesh, and striate ascospores. Both species have been grown in culture. Phillipsia guatemalensis produces holoblastic, hyaline conidia on a low-nitrogen medium. Phillipsia rugospora does not form conidia in culture. However, small, conidium-like structures are produced by germinating ascospores of the latter species.
