Also other groups of insects are known to support Laboulbeniales infections. This paper gives data and microscopic illustrations on Rickia wasmannii from an ant, a Myrmica scabrinodis worker, collected in The Netherlands. It appears to be the first Dutch record of a myrmecophilous fungus. Information on specificity and geographical distribution is given ID - AscoOrg-ID66 DB - Ascomycete.org https://ascomycete.org ER -
