Extract

The presence of a fungus on grains of perennial rye-grass which failed to germinate was recorded in New Zealand by Hyde in 1932. In 1938 the same fungus was associated by Hyde with exceptionally low germination in Italian rye-grass and, later that year (Hyde, 1938 a), the poor germinating capacity was ascribed to infection by Pullularia. Seed of the Scottish harvest of 1938 showed the signs of infection by Pullularia described in Hyde's papers (Noble, 1939), and cultures obtained from mycelium within infected seed, sterilised on the surface, were identified as Pullularia pullulans (De Bary) Berk.
