The variable types of rhizoidal main axis is the main character. The similar appearing fungus identified by Karling as Rhizophydium laterale, but considered as R. karlingii by Sparrow (Sparrow, 1960). Our isolate differs from R. laterale by the color of colony, the latter is distinctly yellow (Chen and Chien, 1995).len from water. | |||
