| Popis: | During the summer of 1938 the author collected a number of soil s-amples near near East Lansing, Michigan, to determine whether or not Gasterella lutophila Zeller & Walker could be found. The results of that study may be found in a previous paper.1 In addition to G. lutophila, fruiting-bodies of another fungus developed during the last of July, 1938, on one of the soil samples that came from a particular wood-lot. On October 11 samples of soil were obtained in triplicate from the same spot from which the earlier sample had been taken. Fruiting-bodies of this same new fungus were first observed on one of these collections on October 29. On a second lot of the soil fruiting-bodies did not appear until November 7, 1938. The methods of study were the same as those employed for Gasterella lutophila. Because of its similarity in many particulars to Gasterella the writer suggests the generic name Gasterellopsis for this new fungus. The basidiocarps of Gasterellopsis were first visible on the surface of the soil in from 18 to 26 days after the soil was collected and prepared. The first sign of the fungus was the appearance of minute wefts of loose, white hyphae. These developed into the mature fruiting-bodies in four to six days. Most of the specimens developed on the surface of the soil, but occasionally a specimen formed just below the surface and pushed the soil particles aside as it grew. A scarcity of specimens between the youngest and mature stages prevented discovery of the details of development of the glebal |
