Abstract
The anamorphic fungus Ceratocladium polysetosum sp. nov., found on unidentified dead wood in the National Park of Ordesa y Monte Perdido, Spain, is described and illustrated. This fungus is characterized by the presence of unbranched primary setae and secondary setae originating from climbing fertile hyphae on the primary setae and by production of cylindrical or fusiform conidia. Circinotrichum pseudocladum is transferred to Ceratocladium based on the presence of fertile and ascending hyphae growing on the setae. A key to the accepted Ceratocladium species is provided.
