As a result of studies on mycogenous fungi of mushrooms, mainly in two forests located in northern and central Japan, a total of 17 species representing 15 genera of Ascomycetes and Hyphomycetes are reported. Cephalotheca splendens is described as a new Ascomycete, distinct from the previously known species of the genus in its yellowish mycelial felt on which shiny black cleistothecia are borne and olive brown, discoid ascospores, measuring 3- 4×2.5-3.5×2-2.5μ. Included in the report are 5 imperfect fungi new to Japan, and several additional isolates.
