Summary

Morphological and cultural studies on two new species ofConidiobolus isolated from plant detritus in India are described.C. terrestris is characterized by mycelium differentiating into chains of hyphal bodies, which in older cultures become thick-walled. The morphological similarity of the fungus to the causal organism of Jorge Lobo's disease in Surinam incited byLoboa loboi and the possibility of that being a species ofConidiobolus are discussed.C. lichenicola isolated from decaying lichens is characterized by a vegetative thallus composed of sinuous, lobate and compacted coralloid mycelial mass. The conidial germination is characteristic and organises the coralloid thallus from the very initial stages.
