Abstract A description is provided for Hypoxylon fraxinophilum, a fungus that grows exclusively on bark of weak or recently dead branches of Fraxinus still attached to the tree, and that once these branches are shed, the fungus rapidly disappears. Some information on its dispersal and transmission and conservation status is given, along with details of its geographical distribution (North America (USA (Pennsylvania)), Asia (Georgia), Australasia (New Zealand), Europe (Belgium, Czech Republic, France, Ireland, Liechtenstein, Netherlands, Slovakia, Sweden, Switzerland, UK)).
