Summary
It has been established that the type cultures ofCephaloascus fragrans Hanawa 1920,Ascocybe grovesii Wells 1954 and a culture isolated from oakwood from Japan are identical. Conjugation in this organism has been observed. The taxonomic position of this organism in theAscomycetes was discussed.
If this organism is incorporated in the classification ofLodder andKreger-van Rij, it seems justified by taxonomical reasons to create a new subfamily: theCephaloascoideae.
