S. K. Hassan

Abstract


A new species of Mitochytridium Dangeard — M. regale sp. nov. is described. The fungus has been obtained by baiting with snake skin a sample of the pond water collected from Łazienki Royal Garden in Warsaw, Poland. This new species differs from the type species of the genus (M. ramosum Dangeard) by the saprophytic behaviour, persistent zoospore case in the sporangial wall and some other minor differences.
