A plasmodiocarpous species of Physarum, P. hongkongense, is discovered from northern Taiwan. Previously it was known only from Hong Kong. Observations were made with light microscopy, and its distribution in Taiwan is illustrated by a map. A key to the plasmodiocarpous species of Physarum with double or triple peridia known from Taiwan is also given.

The forest pathogen, Phellinidium sulphurascens, is reported from Northeast China. It mainly attacks Abies, but occasionally lives on Larix, Pinus, and Picea. Its ecology is discussed based on field observations, and an illustrated description of the fungus is given from Chinese collections. It is closely related to P. weirii, but differs by having wider hyphoid setae, an annual habit, and by living on species of Pinaceae.

A study of the concentration of fungal spores was conducted in the library of Chinese Culture University, Yangming Shan, Taipei, Taiwan, monthly from July 1995 to December 1995. The screened area included indoor air and the insides and surfaces of books. Aerial spores were collected using a Burkard’s portable air sampler for agar plates (malt extract agar and Sabouraud dextrose agar), and dust from books was desposited directly on MEA and SBDA. The major genera of fungi isolated were Cladosporium (30.33%), Penicillium (21.57%), Aspergillus (4.23%), Rhodotorula (12.05%), white yeast (3.71%), Rhizoctonia (1.12%), and sterile colonies of Mycelia sterilia (18.20%). The highest number of fungal colonies were found in indoor air, while some genera appeared only on surfaces of books, including Rhizopus, Mucor, Syncephalastrum (Zygomycetes), Chaetomium (Ascomycete) and Curvularia, Doratomyces, Drechslera, Scytalidium, Sporidesmium (Deuteromycetes). Similarity indices were approximately 50% between indoor air and surfaces and insides of books.

Two inoperculate discomycetes in the genus Lachnum (Hyaloscyphaceae) with white-haired apothecia are newly reported from Taiwan. These two species are L. albidulum and L. virgineum which occurred either on leaves of broadleaf trees, stem of herbaceous plants or decayed wood. The microscopic characteristics and habitats are described and discussed in detail in order to distinguish them from each other for their morphological similarity.

Cultural morphology of Melanospora zamiae on V-8 vegetable juice agar is described and hyphal structure is illustrated with fluorescence and transmission electron microscopy. Homothalism is demonstrated and the connection to a conidial state is verified by means of single-ascospore isolates. The conidial state is described and illustrated with light and scanning electron micrographs. The need for an association in culture with a foreign fungus before sporulation can occur is discussed.

While investigating the saprophytic ascomycetes in Taiwan, three species of Orbilia have been collected from Fushan Botanical Garden and Huisun Forestry Station at elevations between 650-750 m. Orbilia inflatula and O. delicatula were found to grow on decorticated wood and woody stems, while O. cf. auricolor was found only on the petiole of Angiopteris 1ygodifolia (Cyatheaceae). These species are described and illustrated based on materials collected from northeastern and central Taiwan between 1996-1997. These species are reported from Taiwan for the first time.
