Abstract
A species of Griphosphaerioma with a Sarcostroma anamorph was collected from the rough bark of Zelkova serrata. Based on comparison of morphology with Griphosphaerioma kansensis, the fungus was identified as Griphosphaerioma zelkovicola sp. nov. The Sarcostroma anamorph derived from a single ascospore of the fungus was morphologically identical to a species of Sarcostroma that was also found on the same bark material.
