there are still many prob-lems concerning their taxonomy and nomenclature (Dick, 1990;Glockling, 1997). Molecular techniques confirmed our microscopic identification. The mycelium sample was identified as Zoophagus sp. The 18S rDNA partial sequence of the sample demonstrated a 91% (403/433) basepair similarity to the reference sequence of
Z. insidians deposited in the NCBI database (AB016009.2).
