Abstract

The genus Hypoxylon is a member of the Xylariaceae which has brown to dark brown and pha- seoliform single cell ascospores with a conspicuous full germ slit. The isolates of Hypoxylon collected from England, Hong Kong and Korea are compared with similar taxa and described. These isolations under Hypoxylon section are detailed and illustrated, using light microscopy and scanning electron microscopy. Hypoxylon howeianum and H. rubiginosum are described and compared with former collection from Korea. A key to the species is also included.
