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 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 Ophiognomonia melanostyla. Some information on its dispersal and transmission, associated organisms (including Tilia sp.), and conservation status is given, along with details of its habitat and geographical distribution: Asia (Russia), Europe: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Czech Republic, France, Germany, Hungary, Netherlands, Poland, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, UK, Ukraine, North America: Canada (Ontario), USA (New York and Pennsylvania). Ascomata of this species are produced on dead leaves, but nothing is known of how or when those leaves are colonized. No reports of negative economic impacts have been found.

Abstract A description is provided for Protoventuria arxii. This species has been recorded on living leaves where it is likely to be mildly parasitic and, more often, on attached and fallen dead leaves and twigs, in litter on sandy acid soil in domestic garden, parkland, botanical gardens and in mixed 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 (USA (Maine, New Hampshire)), Europe (Italy, Switzerland, UK)) and hosts (Rhododendron spp.). No reports of negative economic impacts of this fungus have been found.
