Abstract

In the present study, three species of Hyphochytriomycetes were isolated, identified and described. They are Rhizidiomyces hirsutus Karling, Rhizidiomyces apophysatus Zopf and Rhizidiomyces bulbosus Karling. Among them, Rhizidiomyces bulbosus Karling species is being reported for the first time in India.
