[A new yeast species Candida anutae sp.nov. from the fruiting bodies of agaricus].

Among the yeasts isolated from the fruiting bodies of different species of agarics picked in forests near Moscow and Turku (Finland) in 1995-1998, populations of an earlier unknown species, morphologically similar to Metschnikowia lunata but differing from it by physiological characteristics and the absence of asci with spores, were constantly found. Description of the new species is given within the genus Candida Berkhout.
