Abstract
Single ascospore isolates ofAscotaiwania sawada gave rise to conidia of aMonotosporella species. Repeated isolations confirmed that theMonotosporella was the anamorph ofA. sawada. These findings are discussed and compared with the other known anamorph-teleomorph stages of freshwater fungi. This species ofMonotosporella is new to science but because it has not been found in nature it is referred to as theMonotosporella state ofA. sawada.
