Zygomycetes from “Reserva Biológica de Mogi Guaçu”, São Paulo State, Brazil

The taxonomic composition of zygomycetes from a reserve of Brazilian Cerrado was analyzed. Soil and leaf litter samples were collected at five sampling dates. Cultures of Absidia, Backusella, Circinella, Rhizopus and Conidiobolus were obtained from canopy- and soil-plates. Due to the scarcity of detailed taxonomic information for Brazilian zygomycetes, additional information such as descriptions, standard colony colour codes, illustrations, geographical coordinates and vouchers are provided for Absidia spinosa var. spinosa, Backusella lamprospora, Circinella simplex, Rhizopus stolonifer var. stolonifer and Conidiobolus coronatus.
