Abstract A description is provided for Tympanopsis confertula. Some information on its dispersal and transmission and conservation status is given, along with details of its geographical distribution (Africa (South Africa), North America (USA (Georgia, Illinois, Maryland, Nebraska, New York, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Tennessee)), Asia (China Guangxi, Hebei, Heilongjiang, Yunnan, Zhejiang), India, Pakistan, Russia (Khabarovsk kari), Europe (Belgium, France, Netherlands, Spain, UK)). This species has been reported as a saprobe on woody parts of various trees and a parasite on other fungi occurring on the same substratum, particularly on Hypoxylon rubiginosum.

Abstract A description is provided for Amarenomyces ammophilae, usually found on attached dead leaves and stems of grasses typical of coastal sand ecosystems. Nothing is known about when it colonizes the substratum, but it is saprobic by the time conidiomata and ascomata are produced. 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 (USA (Massachusetts, New York, North Carolina)), Antarctica (Macquarie Island), Australasia (New Zealand), Europe (Belgium, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Lithuania, Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, Ukraine, UK)).

Abstract A description is provided for Hilberina breviseta, which is apparently saprobic and able to colonize a diverse range of plants, with records from old dead and decaying wood. Some information on its associated organisms and substrata, habitats, dispersal and transmission, and conservation status is given, along with details of its geographical distribution (Central America (Costa Rica), North America (USA (New York and North Carolina)), Asia (Brunei Darussalam, China (Yunnan), Taiwan and Thailand), Europe (Austria, Finland, France, Germany, Lithuania, Spain, Sweden and UK)) and hosts (including Padus sp.).

Abstract A description is provided for Paranectria oropensis, a plurivorous species with very little evidence of host specificity. Some information on its habitat, dispersal and transmission, and conservation status is given, along with details of its geographical distribution (North America (Canada (Ontario), Mexico, USA (Massachusetts, Minnesota, New York, North Carolina)), Asia (China (Yunnan), Russia (Krasnoyarsk Krai), Taiwan), Atlantic Ocean (Spain (Canary Islands)), Europe (Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Russia (Karachay-Cherkess Republic), Slovakia, Spain, Sweden, Ukraine, UK)). No evaluation has been made of any possible positive economic impact of this fungus (e.g. as a recycler, as a source of useful products, as a provider of checks and balances within its ecosystem, etc.). Also, no reports of negative economic impacts have been found.

Abstract A description is provided for Sporisorium everhartii. Information is included on the disease caused by the organism, its transmission, geographical distribution, and hosts. DISEASE: No fruits develop in infected parts of the plants. HOSTS: Andropogon glomeratus, A. brachystachys, A. floridanus, A. furcatus, A. geradi, A. glomeratus, A. microstachyus, A. scoparius, A. ternarius, A. virginicus, Gayona densiflora, Hyparrhenia diplandra, H. ruprechtii, Schizachyrium hirtiflorum (A. hirtiflorus), S. tenerum (A. tener) and S. scorparium (Poaceae). GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION: AFRICA: Congo, South Africa (Transvaal). NORTH AMERICA: Mexico, USA (Alabama, Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Maine, Mississippi, Montana, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Vermont, Virginia). CENTRAL AMERICA: Cuba. TRANSMISSION: Probably by air-borne teliospores. Wind is the most common dispersal mode of smut teliospores.

Abstract A description is provided for Protoventuria alpina, which produces spots on living leaves but is more often encountered as ascomata on dead leaves which may have died as a result of parasitism by the fungus. It occurs in at least some of the habitats where its associated plants are found, including moorland and open conifer woodland. Some information on its associated organisms and substrata, habitats, dispersal and transmission and conservation status is given, along with details of its geographical distribution (North America (Canada (Newfoundland, Quebec), USA (California, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Virginia, Washington)), Europe (Austria, Finland, Iceland, Italy, Norway, Slovakia, Sweden, Switzerland, UK)) and hosts (including Arctostaphylos spp.). No reports of negative economic impacts of this fungus have been found.

Abstract A description is provided for Leptosphaeria acuta, a saprobe, almost always on stems of Urtica (particularly the lower parts), with occasional observations on other herbs and on dead woody material. Some information on its substrata, habitats, dispersal and transmission and conservation status is given, along with details of its geographical distribution (North America (Canada (British Columbia), USA (Alaska, California, Illinois, Maryland, New York, North Carolina, Oregon, Texas, Washington)), Asia (Armenia, India (Himachal Pradesh)), Europe (Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Romania, Russia (Pskovskaya oblast), Slovakia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey, Ukraine, UK)).

Abstract A description is provided for Hypocreopsis rhododendri, which is considered to be a superficial parasite of Hymenochaetopsis corrugata (as Hymenochaete corrugata and Pseudochaete corrugata), itself a broad-spectrum wood-rotting species most typically found associated with Corylus avellana (hence 'hazel gloves', the vernacular English name of Hypocreopsis rhododendri). Some information on its habitat, dispersal and transmission, and conservation status is given, along with details of its geographical distribution (North America (USA (Maine, Maryland, North Carolina, Tennessee, West Virginia)), Europe (France, Ireland, Russia (Moscow Oblast), Spain, UK)).
