Abstract

During a mycological excursion to the Pondoland region of South Africa in 2008, six interesting anamorphic fungi with appendage-bearing conidia were isolated. They are Bartalinia pondoensis, Crucellisporium umtamvunae, and Mycohypallage margaretae, all of which are new to science, Mycohypallage congesta with a new observation of gelatinous basal appendage, Mycotribulus mirabilis on a new host plant, Apodytes, and Chaetospermum camelliae. Morphological characters are described and notes provided. The teleomorphic affinity of C. umtamvunae to the Helotiales is proposed based on DNA sequence data.
