polytrichum juniperinum/agar

Callus-like tissues, isolated from protonemal cultures of two species of mosses, grow vigorously and without marked differentiation on media containing sucrose, casamino acids, and coconut milk. On mineral agar and on media containing sorbitol the tissue from Polytrichum (found diploid) reverts to

During a survey of bryophilous fungi from boreal and montane habitats in central Alberta, a hitherto undescribed species of Cladophialophora was recovered from Polytrichum juniperinum, Aulacomnium palustre, and Sphagnum fuscum. On potato dextrose agar (PDA) colonies grew slowly, attaining a diameter
