Abstract Pythium erinaceum sp. nov., a species with spherical sporangia and echinulate oogonia, is described from soil from Canterbury, New Zealand. It is distinguished from similar Pythium species with echinulate oogonia by a slow growth rate, a distinctive rosette pattern of growth, and the production of oogonia bearing long, tapering acuminate spines.
