Ascosphaera callicarpa, a new species of bee-loving fungus, with a key to the genus for Europe.

We studied the bee specialist fungus Ascosphaera in wild solitary bees to investigate the diversity of the genus in nature and the ecology of these fungi with their bee hosts. A new morphologically distinctive species was discovered which also has a unique nrITS sequence. This new species, here name...
