Conidium ontogeny of the botryose solitary blastospores of Peziza quelepidotia Korf and O'Donnell was followed by time-lapse photomicrography using differential interference-contrast illumination in an inexpensive, commercially available, slide culture chamber. This chamber has several advantages over those previously described. Subsequent to time-lapse photomicrography, techniques are described for viewing these identical conidiophores in all stages of development in the scanning electron microscope. Transmission electron microscopic observations were conducted to fully characterize conidiogenesis and to unequivocally determine its location in hyphomycete classification schemes. This imperfect state, which belongs to Hughes' conidiogenetic section 1B, bears determinate retrogressive conidiogenous cells and single holoblastic conidia with multiple synchronous conidiogenous loci. However, unlike other members of the Botryoblastosporae, the conidia are not borne on well differentiated swollen conidiogenous cells (i.e., ampullae). Ultrastructural observations were made on the spatial relationship between the conidial state and ascogonia and on germinating conidia.

Conidium ontogeny in Wallemia sebi (Fr.) v. Arx is analyzed and illustrated by time-lapse photomicrography. The nuclear configurations occurring during conidiogenesis are described and subsequent nuclear distribution reported. The conidia are considered to be meristem arthrospores of a unique type.

Conidium ontogeny in Torulomyces lagena Delitsch and Monocillium indicum Saksena, the type species of Torulotnyces and Monocillium respectively, is analyzed by time-lapse photomicrography. The nuclear configurations occurring during conidiogenesis are also described. Since their development and karyology are essentially identical and their morphology closely similar, we consider them congeneric. Monocillium indicum is accordingly transferred to Torulomyces.

Conidium ontogeny in Cladosporium herbarum (Pers.) Link ex S. F. Gray and Torula herbarum (Pers.) Link ex S. F. Gray is analyzed by time-lapse photomicrography. Both fungi are shown to produce conidia holoblastically in acropetal chains.

Conidium ontogeny in the Monilia state of Neurospora sitophila and Sclerotinia laxa is analyzed by time-lapse photomicrography, and nuclear configurations occurring during conidiogenesis in the former are described.
