Pires-Zottarelli, Carmen L., Alexandra L. Gomes & Cristiane De A. Nascimento. Entophlyctis luteolus in the Brazilian Atlantic Rainforest. Mycotaxon 99: 207-210. 2007.

ABSTRACT: We found Entophlyctis luteolus on cellulosic baits placed with water and soil samples collected from the Brazilian Atlantic Rainforest. Although we were unable to isolate this species into pure culture because of contaminants, its morphology matches that of the type. We describe and illustrate Brazilian examples of this chytrid, which occurred in 26% of our baited samples, and describe germination of resistant sporangia.
