Abstract
Two new species of soil-borne onygenalean fungi are described and illustrated:Arachniotus insolitus, isolated from forest soil in Kenya, andMyxotrichum stellatum, isolated from forest soil in Japan. A further occurrence ofGymnoascus uncinatus, isolated from Canadian soil, is reported and some observations are added, especially in connection with the cultural appearance of this rarely encountered species.
