The fungi Entomophthora thaxteriana (Petch) Hall et Bell and Entomophthora destruens Weiser et Batko were cultivated in amino acid-rich liquid media. Yield of vegetative mass and resting spores was measured under varying pH and compared with E. virulenta. Morphological and physiological growth patterns of these Entomophthora species in submerged culture are described. Historical taxonomy and previous misidentifications of E. thaxteriana are discussed.
