Summary Cryptococcus neoformans was demonstrated in the clinical material of a 15‐year‐old male dog with a history of chronic otitis externa by employing Helianthus annuus seed agar as a selective medium. The examination of the isolate for sexual compatibility on modified Helianthus annuus seed medium revealed that it belonged to Filobasidiella neoformans var. neoformans ‘α’ mating type. In the authors' view, this appears to be the first report of isolation of Cr. neoformans var. neoformans from diseased ear of a dog.
