Abstract
A psychrotolerant hyphomycete Chalastospora gossypii was recovered from cold arid soil of Zanskar valley (3,500 msl), which is the most isolated region located in the trans-Himalayas that presents extreme environmental challenges for biotic system including microfungi. Complete description and illustration of the fungus based on morphology and rRNA gene sequences in ITS regions are provided. The report represents a new record in Indian sub-continent and reflects the ability of the reported fungus to thrive in extreme habitats of Indian sub-continent thus representing a new addition to cold desert as well as Indian mycoflora.
