Abstract

About some rare fungi collected on living insects. During the study of entomogenous fungi in the past years, several unusual fungi belonging to different taxonomic groups have been collected. These fungi show exceptionally reduced thalli as a common characteristic. The samples here included are forms of fungi belonging to the genera Amphoromorpha, Chantransiopsis, Entomocosma, Hormiscium and Thaxteriola; all these taxa are discussed and illustrated. Chantransiopsis is newly recorded from Galapagos Islands (Equador). Entomocosma and Hormiscium are second world records because they were only known from their original descriptions. Thaxteriola is a first Iberian record. Also, two undescribed species are included. As a complementary information, data on these and related fungi growing on living insects are summarized.
