ResumoSUMMARY1. Hyphal fragments were present in Kansas in the air throughout the year with highest numbers during growing seasons.2. Numbers in winters varied from 1 to 6, in summers from 5 to 51 per cubic foot.3. Fragments varied in size and length, mostly from 5 to 15 μ, occasionally to 100 μ. The majority were brown septate thick-walled but hyaline fragments were also present.4. Viability ranged from 29 to 82%. Preliminary isolations produced colonies of Cladosporium, Alternaria, and Penicillium.5. The abundance of viable fungal fragments suggests that this may be an important means of asexual reproduction.
