Two novel kickxellalean fungi, Mycoëmilia scoparia gen. sp. nov. and Ramicandelaber brevisporus sp. nov.
Mycoëmilia scoparia gen. sp. nov. is described as a new member of Kickxellales. It is characterized by lageniform sporocladia produced acrogenously in mass and bears wet and fusiform spores on the sporocladia. Ramicandelaber brevisporus sp. nov. is distinguished from the type species of the genus, R. longisporus, by producing much shorter asexual spores, (3-)8(-13) long fertile branches arising from a globose body, and lateral branches.
