Abstract

A new species of Cryptosporiopsis is described. It was isolated frequently from roots of healthy-looking and declining oaks (Quercus robur and Q. petraea). The relationship to C. radicicola, a similar species also occurring on oak roots, is discussed. The new species is separated from C. radicicola by means of morphological and physiological characters, genomic analysis by the PCR-based RAPD technique as well as by the production of metabolites.
