A New Endoparasitic Species of <i>Harposporium</i> Isolated From Illinois Soil

A survey to determine the endoparasitic nematode destroying fungi located within Sand Ridge State Forest of Illinois was conducted from 1 January to 3 April 1973. A total of seven nematode destroying fungal species were isolated from the collected soil samples. Harposporium helicoides, H. crassum, H. lilliputanum are endoparasitic nematophagous fungi that have been isolated previously from the forest soil. Acrostalagmus gonoides, A. obovatus, Cephalosporium balanoides, and Monacrosporium cionopagum are nematophagous fungal species that had not been isolated previously from Illinois soil. Soil pH's and soil nutrient levels were not important in the isolation frequency of the collected endoparasitic nematode destroying fungi.

Three techniques were compared for the recovery of endoparasitic nematophagous fungi from soil. The Baermann funnel technique (32 species) was superior to differential centrifugation (19 species) or soil sprinkling (21 species) in terms of number of species found. The main advantage of the Baermann funnel was in the recovery of lower fungi, especially those with flagellate states. In all, 40 species of endoparasites (70% of the known flora) were recorded. Thirty-two of those were found capable of attacking the soil nematodeRhabditis terricola Dujardin.
