Year: 2009

Type: article

Abstract: During a survey of submersed aquatic macrophytes and their associated fungi from lakes and waterways in New Zealand's North Island, an isolate of Mycoleptodiscus terrestris (Gerd.) Ostaz. was confirmed on the basis of colony characteristics, sporodochia, and conidial morphology. This is a new record of M. terrestris in New Zealand and a new host species, the introduced aquatic macrophyte, Ceratophyllum demersum L.
