Abstract A description is provided for Lophiostoma vagabundum, which is considered to be a saprobic fungus, colonizing dead plant tissues. Some information on its dispersal and transmission and conservation status is given, along with details of its geographical distribution (North America (Canada, British Columbia), USA (Georgia, New Jersey, Oklahoma), Europe (Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Germany, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Sweden, UK)). L. vagabundum as currently circumscribed is a plurivorous species, associated almost exclusively with dead herbaceous stems of species belonging to Apiaceae, Araliaceae, Asteraceae, Balsaminaceae, Caprifoliaceae, Cornaceae, Geraniaceae, Gunneraceae, Hypericaceae, Iridaceae, Juncaceae, Lamiaceae, Lythraceae, Onagraceae, Poaceae, Polygonaceae, Ranunculaceae, Rosaceae, Rubiaceae, Salicaceae, Scrophulariaceae and Urticaceae.

Abstract A description is provided for Lophiostoma semiliberum, which is considered to be a saprobic fungus, colonizing dead plant tissues. Some information on its dispersal and transmission and conservation status is given, along with details of its geographical distribution (North America (Canada, Ontario), Asia (Japan), Europe (Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Italy, Ireland, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Sweden, Switzerland, Ukraine, UK)). L. semiliberum is reported most typically from dead culms of Phragmites australis, and from a range of other grass hosts.

Abstract A description is provided for Phacellium episphaerium, a plant parasite, with records on living, dying and dead leaves. This species is known to be found in mixed broadleaf semi-natural woodland, but from the known geographical distribution and the distribution of associated plants. Some information on its associated organisms and substrata, habitats, dispersal and transmission and conservation status is given, along with details of its geographical distribution (Africa (Morocco), North America (Canada (British Columbia, Nova Scotia, Nunavut), USA (Wisconsin)), Arctic (Svalbard and Jan Mayen), Asia (China, Japan, Russia, Korea Republic, Uzbekistan), Europe (Austria, Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Hungary, Iceland, Latvia, Netherlands, Poland, Romania, Russia (Leningrad oblast), Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Ukraine, UK, former Yugoslavia)) and hosts (Cerastium spp., Stellaria spp. and some other members of the Caryophyllaceae). No reports of negative economic impacts of this fungus have been found.
