Abstract

Two strains of an undescribedCandida species were isolated from samples of a rotting trunk ofDrimys winteri collected on the isle of Chiloé in South Chile. A description of the new speciesCandida lignophila is given and its relationship to other species is discussed with particular emphasis on its typical basidiomycetous properties as well as on its ecological habitat.
