ABSTRACT
Quasiconcha reticulata is reported from roots of two species of conifers. Agar cultures from single ascospores produced a dark mycelium bearing chlamydospores. An anamorph similar to the form-genus Chalara developed only on sterile twigs and leaves of Pinus halapensis. Because the fungus was associated with the pine wood nematode on one occasion it was tested in culture as a food organism for the nematode and found to support growth and reproduction of the nematode at 20 and 24 C.
