Author(s):  
P. F. Cannon

Abstract A description is provided for Protoventuria tetraspora, which is apparently a very mild parasite on moribund leaves, later saprobic on dead leaves and stems. Some information on its habitats, dispersal and transmission and conservation status is given, along with details of its geographical distribution (Europe (Norway, Sweden, UK)) and hosts (Erica tetralix). No reports of negative economic impacts of this fungus have been found.

Abstract A description is provided for Coprotus duplus, a dung-inhabiting fungus associated with Capra aegagrus subsp. hircus, Cervidae, Hystricognathi, Oryctolagus cuniculus, Mephitidae, Phasianidae and Tetraonidae. Some information on its morphology, habitats, economic impacts, dispersal and transmission and conservation status is given, along with details of its geographical distribution (Canada (Ontario, Quebec), Iraq, Portugal (Madeira), Estonia, Spain and UK).

Abstract A description is provided for Pestalozziella subsessilis, a colonizer of living leaves, causing leaf spot symptoms leading to leaves fading and dying. Some information on its dispersal and transmission, economic impacts, infraspecific variation and conservation status is given, along with details of its geographical distribution (USA (Florida, Kansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, New Jersey, Wisconsin), Kazakhstan, Russia, New Zealand, Austria, Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Poland, Ukraine, and United Kingdom), hosts (Geranium carolinianum (leaf), G. collinum (leaf), G. columbianum (leaf), G. columbinum (leaf), G. macrorrhizum (leaf), G. maculatum (leaf), G. palustre (leaf), G. pratense (leaf), G. pusillum (leaf), G. pyrenaicum (leaf), G. robertianum (leaf), G. sanguineum (leaf), G. sylvaticum (leaf), G. wlassovianum (leaf), Geranium sp., and Oxypolis rigidor [Tiedemannia rigida]) and associated fungi Chaetomella raphigera.

Abstract A description is provided for Tirmania pinoyi, which forms mycorrhizas with a range of flowering plants. Some information on its substrata, habitats, economic impacts, dispersal and transmission and conservation status is given, along with details of its geographical distribution (Africa (Algeria, Egypt, Libya, Morocco, Tunisia), Asia (Iran, Iraq, Kuwait, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Yemen), Atlantic Ocean (Spain (Islas Canarias))).

Abstract A description is provided for Helminthosphaeria stuppea, which is apparently saprobic and able to colonize woody parts of a wide range of 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 (North America (USA (California, Colorado, Utah and Washington)), Europe (Austria, Czech Republic, Denmark, France and UK)) and hosts (including Tsuga mertensiana). No reports of negative economic impacts 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 ramicola (Gibbera ramicola), which is generally a saprobe on dead stems and twigs, but sometimes a mild parasite occasionally forming small lesions. Some information on its habitats, dispersal and transmission and conservation status is given, along with details of its geographical distribution (Europe (Finland, France, Germany, Norway, Spain, Sweden, UK)) and hosts (including Vaccinium spp.). No reports of negative economic impacts of this fungus have been found.

Abstract A description is provided for Lactifluus velutissimus, which as a likely mycorrhizal species, this fungus and the ecosystem services it provides are important in sustaining miombo woodland through enhanced uptake of minerals from nutrient-poor soils and by providing protection from desiccation. This species is collected for food in Tanzania and Zimbabwe. 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 (Burundi, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Malawi, Tanzania, Zambia, Zimbabwe)). No reports of negative economic impacts have been found.

Abstract A description is provided for Hilberina foliicola, which is apparently saprobic and able to colonize a diverse range of plants. Some information on its habitats, dispersal and transmission, and conservation status is given, along with details of its geographical distribution (North America USA Virginia Europe UK) and hosts (including Fagus sylvatica and Quercus sp.). No reports of negative economic impacts have been found.
