Abstract A description is provided for Anthostomella phaeosticta, which is most frequently found on dead leaves of grasses typical of coastal sand ecosystem; it has also been found on dead leaves of other monocot genera, again usually in coastal ecosystems. Some information on its habitats, dispersal and transmission and conservation status is given, along with details of its geographical distribution (North America (Canada, USA (Florida, Texas)), South America (Argentina, Chile), Australasia (New Zealand), Europe (Austria, Belgium, Denmark, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Norway, Switzerland, UK), Pacific Ocean (USA (Hawaii))).

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)).

Some information on its habitats, economic impacts, dispersal and transmission and conservation status is given, along with details of its geographical distribution (Africa (Zambia, Zimbabwe), North America (Canada (British Columbia, Nova Scotia, Ontario, Saskachewan, Quebec), USA (California, Colorado, Idaho, Indiana, New jersey, New Mexico, North Carolina, Utah, Wyoming), South America (Venezuela), Asia (Armenia, China, Cyprus, Georgia, India (Himachal Pradesh, Jammu & Kashmir), Iran, Kazakhstan (Alma-Atinskaya oblast, Chimkentskaya oblast), Kyrgyzstan, Turkey, Turkmenistan), Australasia (New Zealand), Caribbean (St. Vincent), Europe (Austria, Belgium, former Czechoslovakia, Denmark, Estonia, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Russia (Leningradskaya oblast, Novgorodskaya oblast, Pskovskaya oblast, Yaroslavskaya oblast), Slovakia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Ukraine, UK))) and hosts.

Abstract A description is provided for Ophioceras leptosporum. Some information on its associated organisms and substrata, dispersal and transmission, habitats and conservation status is given, along with details of its geographical distribution (Africa (Cameroon), North America (Mexico), South America (Brazil (Bahia)), Asia (Afghanistan, China (Hong Kong), Malaysia, Papua New-Guinea, Taiwan, Thailand), Australasia (New Zealand), Europe (Belgium, Finland, Netherlands, Serbia, Spain, Switzerland, UK)). In a study of endophytes of Terminalia and other plants in Cameroon, Toghueo et al. (2017) detected O. leptosporum and demonstrated that it produced amylase and lipase, both enzymes with potential economic applications.

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 Tiarospora perforans [Montagnula perforans], found mainly on dead and dry leaves and stems of Ammophila and other grasses of coastal sand ecosystems, with a small number of records on living leaves, sometimes causing a leaf speckle on Leymus mollis in Oregon, USA. Nothing is known about when it colonizes the substratum, but it is saprobic by the time ascomata are produced. Some information on its habitats, dispersal and transmission and conservation status is given, along with details of its geographical distribution (North America (USA (New York, Oregon)), Australasia (Australia (Victoria), New Zealand), Europe (Belgium, Denmark, France, Italy, Sweden, Ukraine, UK)).

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.
