Ecological reserve, conidial fungiAbstract
Anamorphic fungi are a diverse group of microscopic fungi that reproduce asexually through conidia. They degrade plant debris on the soil, which is a key process in nutrients recycling. Because of its importance and the lack of information regarding to these fungi in Guatemala, In this article, 12 species were identified through microscopic characteristics, after extraction of fungal structures developed in leaves, twigs and seeds collected at the Cayalá Ecological Reserve in Guatemala City. Reference materials are placed at the anamorphic fungi collection at Micoteca de Macro hongos de Guatemala, “Dr. Ruben Mayorga Peralta” (MICG).
