Lophiostoma macrostomoides. [Descriptions of Fungi and Bacteria].
Abstract A description is provided for Lophiostoma macrostomoides (Thyridaria macrostomoides), which is considered to be a saprobic fungus, colonizing dead bark and lignum tissues. Some information on its dispersal and transmission and conservation status is given, along with details of its geographical distribution (North America (Canada, Ontario), USA (Colorado, Iowa, Kansas, Massachusetts, Michigan, Montana, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Utah, Vermont), Asia (China, Xinjiang, Iran, Pakistan), Europe (Austria, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Lithuania, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Russia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, UK)). L. macrostomoides is reported primarily from dead (decorticated) wood and bark of Populus and Salix species, and recorded more rarely from other woody substrata.
