title: Karyology and the possible function of the dual conidia of Dissoconium (Hyphomycetes).
abstract: The morphological development and nuclear behaviour of two species of Dissoconium are described. The fungi are monokaryotic in all stages of their life cycle. Liberated pairs of conidia may form anastomoses, probably serving survival under hostile environmental conditions. The function of the one-celled conidia in D. dekkeri remains unexplained.
