Abstract A description is provided for Metacoleroa dickiei, a plant parasite, apparently obligately associated with members of the plant genus Linnaea, occurring on living and later wilting leaves and stems. 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 (Alberta, British Columbia, Ontario, Yukon)), USA (California, Colorado, Idaho, Michigan, Montana, New Mexico, New York, Oregon, Washington, Wisconsin), Asia (North Korea, Russia (Magadan oblast)), Europe (Austria, Finland, Germany, Italy, Norway, Russia (Murmansk oblast), Sweden, Switzerland, UK)) and hosts (Linnaea spp.). No reports of negative economic impacts of this fungus have been found.

Abstract A description is provided for Phacellium episphaerium, a plant parasite, with records on living, dying and dead leaves. This species is known to be found in mixed broadleaf semi-natural woodland, but from the known geographical distribution and the distribution of associated plants. 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 (Canada (British Columbia, Nova Scotia, Nunavut), USA (Wisconsin)), Arctic (Svalbard and Jan Mayen), Asia (China, Japan, Russia, Korea Republic, Uzbekistan), Europe (Austria, Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Hungary, Iceland, Latvia, Netherlands, Poland, Romania, Russia (Leningrad oblast), Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Ukraine, UK, former Yugoslavia)) and hosts (Cerastium spp., Stellaria spp. and some other members of the Caryophyllaceae). No reports of negative economic impacts of this fungus have been found.

Abstract A description is provided for Protoventuria elegantula (Gibbera elegantula). This species is apparently very mildly parasitic, found initially on living leaves, but not forming lesions, later on moribund, then dead fallen leaves, also on dead fruits. 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 (British Columbia), USA (Washington)), Europe (Austria, Finland, Germany, Italy, Norway, Sweden, Switzerland, UK)) and hosts (Vaccinium spp.). No reports of negative economic impacts of this fungus have been found.

Abstract A description is provided for Protoventuria andromedae (Gibbera andromedae). This fungus is found on living leaves and is presumably parasitic, although very few disease symptoms result. It is found, along with its associated plants, in peat bogs including quaking bogs and raised mires. Some information on its habitats, dispersal and transmission and conservation status is given, along with details of its geographical distribution (North America (Canada (Ontario, Quebec), USA (Maine, Michigan, New Hampshire, New York)), Asia (Russia (Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug)), Europe (Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Germany, Latvia, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Sweden, Switzerland, UK)) and hosts (including Andromeda spp.). No reports of negative economic impacts of this fungus have been found.

Abstract A description is provided for Cucurbitaria obducens, saprobic and possibly sometimes parasitic 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 (Morocco), North America (Canada (Ontario), Mexico, USA (Arizona, Colorado, Idaho, Indiana, Kansas, Massachusetts, New Mexico, New York, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Utah, Washington)), Asia (Georgia, India (Andhra Pradesh, Jammu and Kashmir, Maharashtra), Pakistan, Russia (Yamalo-Nenetskyi Avtonomyi Okrug), Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan), Europe (Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Ireland, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Spain, Sweden, Ukraine, UK), Pacific ocean (USA (Hawaii))).
