Abstract A description is provided for Lophiostoma macrostomum, 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 (Africa (Portugal, Malawi), North America (Canada, Ontario), USA (New Jersey, Oregon, Pennsylvania), South America (Argentina, Venezuela), Asia (China, Hong Kong, Xinjiang, India, Madhya Pradesh, Japan, Malaysia, Pakistan, Singapore), Australasia (Australia, Queensland), Europe (Austria, Belgium, Denmark, France, Georgia, Germany, Greenland, Ireland, Italy, Portugal, Russia, Slovakia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Ukraine, UK)). L. macrostomum as currently circumscribed is a plurivorous species, mainly of wood and bark and less frequently of herbaceous stems.

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 Ophioceras leptosporum. Some information on its associated organisms and substrata, dispersal and transmission, habitats and conservation status is given, along with details of its geographical distribution (Africa (Cameroon), North America (Mexico), South America (Brazil (Bahia)), Asia (Afghanistan, China (Hong Kong), Malaysia, Papua New-Guinea, Taiwan, Thailand), Australasia (New Zealand), Europe (Belgium, Finland, Netherlands, Serbia, Spain, Switzerland, UK)). In a study of endophytes of Terminalia and other plants in Cameroon, Toghueo et al. (2017) detected O. leptosporum and demonstrated that it produced amylase and lipase, both enzymes with potential economic applications.

Abstract A description is provided for Capronia chlorospora, found on rotten branch of Salix caprea. Some information on its morphological characteristics, associated organisms and substrata, dispersal and transmission, habitats and conservation status is given, along with details of its geographical distribution (Europe (Czech Republic, Denmark, France, Norway, Spain, Sweden), Switzerland, UK, North America (Canada, Prince Edward Island), USA (Arizona, Massachusetts, New Jersey, Ohio, Vermont), South America (Argentina)).

Abstract A description is provided for Berlesiella nigerrima, parasitic on stromata of Cryptosphaeria lignyota growing on rotten twig of Salix capre. Some information on its morphological characteristics, associated organisms and substrata, dispersal and transmission, habitats and conservation status is given, along with details of its geographical distribution (Asia (India, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Taiwan), Europe (Austria, Belgium, Denmark, France, Germany, Hungary, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Norway, Romania, Russia, Spain, Sweden, Ukraine, UK), North America (Canada, Ontario, USA, California, Florida, Georgia, Oregon, Tennessee), South America (Argentina)).

Abstract A description is provided for Lophiostoma fuckelii, 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 (Africa (Portugal, South Africa), Central America (Costa Rica), North America (Canada, British Columbia), USA (California, New Jersey), Asia (China, Hong Kong, India, Maharashtra, Japan, Taiwan), Europe (Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Poland, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, UK), Oceania (USA, Hawaii)). L. fuckelii as currently circumscribed is most typically found erumpent from dead stems of Rubus fruticosus, but has been reported from a range of other herbaceous and woody substrata including both leaf and woody tissues. The species can also occur as a secondary invader in leaves, with occurrences in old fruit bodies of biotrophic fungi.

Abstract A description is provided for Anthostomella chionostoma. Some information on its dispersal and transmission and conservation status is given, along with details of its geographical distribution (Africa (Algeria), Asia (India, Uttar Pradesh), Australasia (Australia, Victoria), Europe (France, Italy, Spain, Switzerland, UK), North America (USA, New Jersey), South America (Venezuela)) and associated organisms and substrata. No specific information was found about habitats of this species, but they are likely to include grassland, freshwater, margins and woodland. Some members of Anthostomella are endobionts for part of their life cycle, but for the present species the time of substratum colonization and nutritional relations with the associated plant have not been established.

Abstract A description is provided for Barrmaelia oxyacanthae, saprobic on wood of various trees. Some information on its dispersal and transmission and conservation status is given, along with details of its geographical distribution (Africa (South Africa), North America (Canada, USA (New Jersey, North Dakota, South Dakota, Vermont, Virginia)), Asia (Georgia, Japan, Kazakhstan (Aktyubinskaya oblast), Pakistan), Europe (Belarus, Belgium, former Czechoslovakia, Finland, France, Germany, Italy, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Sweden, Switzerland, Ukraine, UK, former Yugoslavia)). B. oxyacanthae is sometimes found on elm twigs previously gnawed by rabbits.

Abstract A description is provided for Diplocarpon earliana. Information is included on the disease caused by the organism, its transmission, geographical distribution, and hosts. HOST: Fragaria. DISEASE: Strawberry leaf scorch. GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION: Throughout temperate zones and extending into the tropics in Malaysia, Taiwan, Australia and New Guinea; Africa (Rhodesia, Zambia, South Africa, Canary Islands); Europe (except Ireland, Spain, Sweden, Russia); North America (Canada, USA, Jamaica); South America (Brazil, Uruguay); Asia (Armenia, Cambodia, Hong Kong, India, Israel, Japan, W. Malaysia). Appears to be most important in USA and eastern Europe (CMI Map 452, ed. 1, 1969). TRANSMISSION: Mainly by splash dispersal of conidia from infected leaves. Ascospores appear to be unimportant and in some regions (Poland; 46, 2074) where the perfect state has not been found.
