Summary Mycoparasitic behaviour ofF. udum on two soil-inhabiting microfungi,Aspergillus luchuensis andSyncephalastrum racemosum, was studied in dual cultures.Fusarium udum coiled and penetrated the host fungi and formed chlamydospores inside their hyphae and reproductive structures. The vegetative hyphae ofA. luchuensis showed swellings due to diffusible toxic substances ofF. udum in the medium and formed vesicle-like structures. This is the first record of these fungi being hosts of the mycoparasiteF. udum.
