Abstract

Trichomycetes are an ecological group of fungi and protists that colonize the gut lining of invertebrates in aquatic and moist terrestrial habitats. The diversity of this group appears to be high with many new species discovered each year. A new genus of fungal trichomycete, Trifoliellum (Harpellales), is described here with the type species T. bioblitzii . This genus is characterized by having unique, trefoilshaped asexual spores (trichospores). Another new species, Legeriosimilis halifaxensis , also is described from the same mayfly host, Eurylophella temporalis , collected from the same site near Halifax, Nova Scotia.
