For the first time with a rust fungus, continuously growing axenic cultures have been obtained from single spores. This was achieved with aeciospore sources of the pine stem rust Peridermium pini (Pers.) Lev. from Thetford Forest, East Anglia, but not with sources from north‐east Scotland. Approximately 30% of the single spores of two East Anglian sources out of the three tested developed into transferable and subculturable colonies on modified Harvey & Grasham's medium.
