Abstract A description is provided for Lophiostoma caulium, which is considered to be a saprobic fungus, colonizing dead culm tissues. Some information on its dispersal and transmission and conservation status is given, along with details of its geographical distribution (Africa (Morocco), Central America (Costa Rica), North America (Canada, Ontario), USA (Arizona, California, Georgia, Idaho, Kansas, Nebraska, North Dakota, Oregon, Virginia), South America (French Guiana), Asia (China, Xinjiang, Iran, Japan, Pakistan, Taiwan, Turkmenistan), Australasia (Australia, Queensland, New Zealand), Europe (Austria, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Georgia, Germany, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Russia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Ukraine, UK)). L. caulium as currently circumscribed is a plurivorous species of herbaceous stems and has been reported more rarely from woody substrata.
