Their diminutive size (10μm in diameter) and their parasitic behaviour leads me to believe they are Chytrids (Phylum Chytridiomycota).

 

A more detailed description can be found in my Fungus album HERE. 

 

The possible chytrids in the Rhynie Chert include:

Illmanomyces corniger

Milleromyces rhyniensis

Krispiromyces discoides

Globicultrix nugax

Brijax amictus

Cultoraquaticus trewinii

Rhizophydites shutei
