SUMMARY
A new genus in the Taphrinales has been described and assigned the name Mixia. Because of the similarity of the mycelium and the fruiting structure, this organism has been tentatively placed in the family Protomycetaceae.
The characters which distinguish this genus from the other two genera of Protomycetaceae, Protomyces and Taphridium, are: the presence of the “columella-like” wall in the spore sac; the septum which cuts off the stalk cell from the spore sac; and mycelium which occurs in the walls of the host cells.
