Abstract A description is provided for Monodictys levis. Information is included on the disease caused by the organism, its transmission, geographical distribution, and hosts. DISEASE: A typical soil species also occurring on rocks. With other rock-inhabiting fungi it can deteriorate stone monuments and art objects. HOSTS: Isolated from air, dead wood, herbaceous stems, damp sacking, feathers, plaster, soil (including contaminated soil from spoil heaps), from calcareous rock (marble and limestone), and as a laboratory contaminant. Associated organisms include: Avena sp., Beta vulgaris, Betula sp. (fence post), Cervidae (dung), Eucalyptus tereticornis (leaf), Eucalyptus sp. (seed), Fagus sylvatica (cupule, leaf), Fragaria sp. (root), Humulus lupulus (dry flower), Phaseolus vulgaris, Picea abies, Ricinus communis, Rodentia (dung), Salix sp. and Solanum tuberosum. GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION: NORTH AMERICA: Canada (British Columbia). ASIA: India (Kerala), Russia (Russian Far East). AUSTRALASIA: Australia, New Zealand. EUROPE: Belgium, Great Britain, Greece, Russia, Ukraine. TRANSMISSION: By air-borne dissemination of propagules, or through the soil.

Abstract A description is provided for Arthrocladiella mougeotii. Information is included on the disease caused by the organism, its transmission, geographical distribution, and hosts. DISEASE: Powdery mildew of Lycium species only. The mycelium, conidiophores, conidia and ascomata form first white, then dirty-grey patches on damaged green parts of the host. Infected parts are deformed slightly and, in cases of high infection, plants can lose their ornamental qualities. Damaged leaves can fall prematurely. HOSTS: Lycium barbarum (= L. europaeum), L. chinense, L. dasystemum, L. halimifolium, L. ovatum, L. potaninii, L. rhombifolium, L. ruthenicum. [Type host - Lycium barbarum] GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION: Africa: Canary Islands. Asia (temperate areas only): Armenia, Azerbaijan, China, Republic of Georgia, Israel, Japan, Kazakhstan, Kirghizistan, Korea, Russia (Russian far east), Tadzhikistan, Taiwan, Turkey, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan. Australasia: New Zealand (introduced). Europe: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Estonia, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Rumania, Slovakia, Sweden, Switzerland, UK, Ukraine (southern), former Yugoslavia. North America: USA (introduced). TRANSMISSION: By wind-dispersed conidia. The rôle of ascospores in disease transmission is unknown, although it has been supposed that they can cause the initial stage of the disease.

Abstract A description is provided for Torula herbarum. Information is included on the disease caused by the organism, its transmission, geographical distribution, and hosts. DISEASE: Leaf and stem spots in plants; foot-rot of coriander; stem blight in Zizyphus mauritiana (small brown specks on bark near cut ends of branches, these spots enlarging into dark brown lesions and coalescing within 10-15 days, further stages being characterized by black broad strips of lesions, which progress towards the basal part of the tree); destruction of paper; biodeterioration of marble; decomposition of soil organic matter. HOSTS: Very common on or in dead herbaceous stems, wood (including artefacts such as baskets, cloth and furniture), soil, air, calcareous and siliceous rock, and artefacts such as concrete, linoleum, paper, sacking material and tiles. The fungus has also been observed in association with many other fungi. There are two records of this fungus being isolated from nasal swabs of Equus equus. GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION: Cosmopolitan. AFRICA: Ethiopia, Ghana [as Gold Coast], Kenya, Malawi, Nigeria, Sierra Leone, South Africa (Transvaal), Tanzania, Uganda, Zambia [as Northern Rhodesia]. NORTH AMERICA: Canada (Ontario, Saskatchewan), USA (California, Colorado, Kansas, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, South Carolina, Texas, West Virginia).

ASIA: Bangladesh, China (Shaanxi, Zhejiang), Cyprus, India (Andhra Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Uttar Pradesh), Japan, Malaysia, Pakistan, Philippines, Russia (Russian Far East), Sabah, Sarawak, Sri Lanka, Taiwan. AUSTRALASIA: Australia (Queensland, Victoria), New Caledonia, New Zealand. EUROPE: Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, France, Germany, Great Britain, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Netherlands, Poland, Russia, Sweden, Ukraine. TRANSMISSION: By dissemination of air-borne conidia.

Abstract A description is provided for Podosphaera myrtillina. Information is included on the disease caused by the organism, its transmission, geographical distribution, and hosts. DISEASE: Powdery mildew of plants belonging to the Vacciniaceae only. Infected plants usualy change colour, Ascomata form a brown layer on damaged green parts of host. Development of the disease can by epiphytotic, in which case the crop of berries can be significantly reduced. HOSTS: Arctostaphylos alpina (?), Ledum groenlandicum (?), Vaccinium angustifolium (V. pennsylvanicum), V. × intermedium (V. myrtillus × vitis-idaea), V. membranaceum, V. myrtillus, V. oxycoccos (Oxycoccus palustris, O. quadripetalus), V. uliginosum, V. vitis-idaea. [Type species - Vaccinium myrtillus] GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION: Asia (temperate areas only): Republic of Georgia, Russia (all Russian far east including Kamchatka; west, south and east Siberia including Yakutia). Europe: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Great Britain, Greenland, Hungary, Iceland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Rumania, Russia (western and northwestern areas of European part, Moscow oblast'), Slovakia, Sweden, Switzerland, Ukraine, former Yugoslavia. North America: Canada, USA (including Alaska). TRANSMISSION: Probably by wind-dispersed conidia. The rôle of ascospores in disease transmission is unknown, although it has been supposed that they can cause the initial stage of the disease. Infection can also, however, occur from colonies surviving in host buds. In addition, ascomata of Podosphaera myrtillina, especially of var. major, intertwine their appendages to form clusters which are dispersed by rain or wind.
