Abstract


Ustilago trichophora, a smut fungus found for the first time in Poland, is characterized and illustrated. Ustilago trichophora affected Echinochloa crus-galli growing in the Lower Silesia voivodeship. In laboratory investigations, the germinability of teliospores, the morphological properties of promycelium, sporidia and colonies produced on potato dextrose agar, Sabouraud-glucose agar, and in water were determined. Attempts to infect seeds and seedling of E. crus-galli in a greenhouse pot experiment failed.
