During a continuous survey of yeast diversity in Taiwan, an anamorphic yeast, belonging to the genus Cryptococcus was obtained. To determine the species identity, this yeast was analysed morphologically, physiologically, and phylogenetically. Neither ballistoconidia nor sexual reproduction was observed. Sequence analysis of 26S rRNA gene indicates that Cryptococcus zeae, Bullera kunmingensi, Cryptococcus luteolus, Bullera sinensis are the most closely related species, with 96.0 to 96.7% sequence similarity. But they only show low sequence similarity with the yeast obtained in this study in the ITS region (91.2 to 96.2%), and differ physiologically from it in the ability to assimilate creatine, creatinine and imidazole, and to grow in 0.1% cycloheximide. Judging from these comparative analyses, a novel species, Cryptococcus taiwanensis, is proposed, with BCRC 23252(superscript T) (=CBS 12180(superscript T)) as the type strain.

During an investigation of Zygomycetous fungi in Taiwan, two merosporangiferous fungi, Piptocephalis freseniana and P. xenophila (Piptocephalidaceae, Zoopagales) were isolated from dung and soil. These two species represent new records from Taiwan. The differences in morphological characters and hosts among these two species and closely related taxa are briefly discussed.

Penicillium albobiverticillium is described as a new species belonging to the genus Penicillium, subgenus Biverticillium mainly due to the following characteristics: white conidial masses, acerose phialides, mononematous conidiophores with biverticillate penicillia, and a red soluble pigment on CYA, MEA, and MA. A spontaneous mutant obtained from a colony sector is also described. It produces a huge amount of blood-red, viscous exudate on MEA and an abundant red soluble pigment on CYA, MEA, and MA.

Two hundred and fifty-nine specific and infraspecific taxa of corticioid fungi have been reported from Taiwan, accounting for more than half of the estimated species of Taiwan. Slightly more than one fourth (71 specific and infraspecific taxa) of them are so far known only from Taiwan, mostly from subtropical and tropical belts of this island. A check-list is given to the species that have been reported from Taiwan.

Three saprotrophic species of Basidiomycota forming sphaeropedunculate basidiomata, Physalacria corticola, hitherto only known from Singapore, Physalacria stilboidea known from New Zealand and United Kingdom, and Stilbum vulgare, hitherto not recorded for Asia, were found on dead branches and leaves in Taiwan. These species are described and illustrated in detail. Based on type study of Stilbum erythrinae Hansf., this species is tentatively transferred to Chionosphaera.

Mycelia of Pleurotus eryngii var. ferulae cultured on PDA with 25℃ dark condition, then moved to 15℃ with red, yellow, blue, green, and white light irradiation (12 hr light/12 hr dark). After two months, no primordia appeared under constant dark, red and yellow light; primordia appearance of blue and white light treatment were 83.3% and 75%, respectively. Low mycelial growth temperature had significant effects on indeces such as days of primordia appearance, days of 90% primordia appearance, days of major primordia appearance, percentage of plate with primordia appearance, and number of primordia per plate. The mechanical treatment increased the number of primordia per plate. The optimal conditions for inducing primordia of P. eryngii var. ferulae were that mycelia cultured at 25℃ without mechanical treatment and then incubated at 15℃, the next was mechanical treated 30℃ incubated mycelia cultured incubated at 15℃. Among low temperature treatments, the primordia were poorly or not induced at temperature higher than 20℃. The dual temperature treatment decreased the percentage of plate with primordia appearance and was not able to reduce the days of primordia appearance.
