Abstract
Epulorhiza epiphytica sp. nov. isolated from the roots of two Brazilian native epiphytic orchid species is described. In culture, it differs from the known species of Epulorhiza in the minute size of monilioid cells with foveate surfaces. This is the first report of an orchid mycorrhizal fungus from Brazil.
