Abstract

In the present paper, synonyms, Glomus rubiforme and Glomus pachycaulis are re-described for its morpho-taxonomy. The species G. rubiforme and G. pachycaulis are reported for the first time from Goa, India and are recorded in association with Carica papaya L. plants. The species are sporocarpic and are characterized by presence of yellow to brown chlamydospores radially arranged on terminal central plexus of hypha. Chlamydospores are subtended with short hypha having walls thicker than spore wall. Pore occlusion takes place at the spore base by wall thickening and septa are less frequent in the chlamydospores. Mature spores usually have a subtending hypha with a narrow lumen connecting the spore inside with the hypha.
