Abstract A description is provided for Arthrinium sporophleum, which is found on dead attached or fallen often rather dry leaves, stems, straw, stubble. Some information on its associated organisms and substrata, habitat, dispersal and transmission, and conservation status is given, along with details of its geographical distribution (Africa (Eritrea, as Ethiopia in GBIF database), North America (Canada, USA (Alaska, California, New Jersey)), Asia (India (Uttarakhand)), Atlantic Ocean (Portugal (Madeira)), Australasia (New Zealand), Europe (Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Italy, Lithuania, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, UK), Pacific Ocean (USA (Hawaii))). This species was one of many detected as contaminants in sealed bakery products, but only at a very low level and not listed among the species considered problematic because of mycotoxin production.

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)).
