Some Aquatic Fungi Imperfecti from Hawaii

FRESH-WATER hyphomycetes from tropical locations have been reported by Ingold (1 956, 1958 , 1959, 1960 ) , Dixon (1959) , Greathead (1961) , Hudson (1961), Hudson and Ingold ( 1960 ) , and Nilsson ( 1962) . Reports from the Pacific area include California (Ranzoni, 1953) , and Japan (Tubaki, 1957, 1960; Suzuki and Nimura, 1960a, b; and Nimura, 1960 ). The Fungi Imperfecti reported in this paper were collected from streams in the Na Pali Kona Reserve on the island of Kauai, Hawaii, during . August 1961. Collections were taken from the Kokee, Waineki, Elekiniki, Kauaikinana, and Kawaikoi streams , and from roadside ditches. Ai: that time the streams were full and foam and scum were abundant. Most of the species reported here were identified from SPOf(:~s-collected in foam and scum. Colonies developing on rotting leaves, collected from the same group of streams , confirmed the identification of many of these fungi. The extremely rich flora of Fungi Imperfecri included the following species :
