| Abstract: | Electron-microscope observations on ultrathin sections of Mytilus galloprovincialis byssus have revealed the existence of fungal hyphae. The ultrastructural features of these hyphae identify them as ascomycetes. A saprophytic nature is suggested for this fungus, and its probable role in the degradation of the byssus is discussed. |
