Abstract
IN 1927, Nannizzi1 reported the discovery of the perfect stage of Microsporum gypseum (Bodin) Guiart and Grigoraki and named it Gymnoascus gypseum Nannizzi. This work was criticized on a number of grounds, and, as there has been no record of its successful repetition, it has been generally disregarded.
