Abstract

　Sphaerostilbella aureonitens, S. lutea, S. novaezelandiae, and Hypomyces cf. amaurodermatis (Hypocreaceae, Ascomycota) were collected from Japan, and the pure cultures were obtained from each species. Their detailed morphological characteristics were then ascertained. Sphaerostilbella novaezelandiae and H. cf. amaurodermatis were newly added to the Japanese mycobiota.
