Umbelopsis dimorpha sp. nov., a link between U. vinacea and U. versiformis

Mycol Res. 2004 Jan;108(Pt 1):107-11. doi: 10.1017/s0953756203008876.

Abstract

The new species Umbelopsis dimorpha sp. nov. was isolated from a soil sample in the Red Hills area of Mt Richmond Forest Park, in the northern part of the South Island of New Zealand. It has two kinds of pale pinkish sporangia: (1) single-spored, indistinguishable from those of U. versiformis; and (2) multi-spored, similar to those of U. vinacea. ITS sequences place the species in the immediate vicinity of the former species.
