Abstract A description is provided for Hilberina breviseta, which is apparently saprobic and able to colonize a diverse range of plants, with records from old dead and decaying wood. Some information on its associated organisms and substrata, habitats, dispersal and transmission, and conservation status is given, along with details of its geographical distribution (Central America (Costa Rica), North America (USA (New York and North Carolina)), Asia (Brunei Darussalam, China (Yunnan), Taiwan and Thailand), Europe (Austria, Finland, France, Germany, Lithuania, Spain, Sweden and UK)) and hosts (including Padus sp.).

Abstract A description is provided for Hilberina caudata, which is apparently saprobic and able to colonize a diverse range of plants, with records from old dead and decaying, often decorticated wood. 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), Central America (Costa Rica), North America (Canada (Ontario)), Mexico, USA (Alaska, California, Georgia, Illinois, Massachusetts and Michigan), Asia (Georgia Republic, Russia (Krasnoyarsk krai) and Thailand), Australasia (Australia (Victoria)), Caribbean (Puerto Rico), Europe (Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Irish Republic, Italy, Lithuania, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Ukraine and UK)) and hosts (including Betula pubescens sp.). No reports of negative economic impacts have been found.

Abstract A description is provided for Amarenomyces ammophilae, usually found on attached dead leaves and stems of grasses typical of coastal sand ecosystems. Nothing is known about when it colonizes the substratum, but it is saprobic by the time conidiomata and ascomata are produced. 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 (USA (Massachusetts, New York, North Carolina)), Antarctica (Macquarie Island), Australasia (New Zealand), Europe (Belgium, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Lithuania, Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, Ukraine, UK)).

Abstract A description is provided for Paranectria oropensis, a plurivorous species with very little evidence of host specificity. Some information on its habitat, dispersal and transmission, and conservation status is given, along with details of its geographical distribution (North America (Canada (Ontario), Mexico, USA (Massachusetts, Minnesota, New York, North Carolina)), Asia (China (Yunnan), Russia (Krasnoyarsk Krai), Taiwan), Atlantic Ocean (Spain (Canary Islands)), Europe (Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Russia (Karachay-Cherkess Republic), Slovakia, Spain, Sweden, Ukraine, UK)). No evaluation has been made of any possible positive economic impact of this fungus (e.g. as a recycler, as a source of useful products, as a provider of checks and balances within its ecosystem, etc.). Also, no reports of negative economic impacts have been found.

Abstract A description is provided for Lophiostoma caulium, which is considered to be a saprobic fungus, colonizing dead culm tissues. Some information on its dispersal and transmission and conservation status is given, along with details of its geographical distribution (Africa (Morocco), Central America (Costa Rica), North America (Canada, Ontario), USA (Arizona, California, Georgia, Idaho, Kansas, Nebraska, North Dakota, Oregon, Virginia), South America (French Guiana), Asia (China, Xinjiang, Iran, Japan, Pakistan, Taiwan, Turkmenistan), Australasia (Australia, Queensland, New Zealand), Europe (Austria, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Georgia, Germany, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Russia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Ukraine, UK)). L. caulium as currently circumscribed is a plurivorous species of herbaceous stems and has been reported more rarely from woody substrata.

Abstract A description is provided for Rhamphospora nymphaeae. Information is included on the disease caused by the organism, its transmission, geographical distribution, and hosts. DISEASE: Rhamphospora nymphaeae causes necrotic zones in leaves of affected plants. HOSTS: Nymphaea advena, N. alba, N. ampla, N. marliacea var. chromatella cult., N. marliacea var. rosea cult., N. odorata, N. reniformis, N. stellata, N. tetragoni and N. tuberosa (Nymphaeaceae).
