Abstract A description is provided for Leptogium britannicum, which is overwhelmingly a ground-dwelling species which tends to avoid highly acidic habitats. Some information on its associated organisms and substrata, habitat, dispersal and transmission, and conservation status is given, along with details of its geographical distribution (North America (USA (Vermont)), South America (Chile, Colombia), Asia (Sri Lanka), Atlantic Ocean (Portugal (Madeira)), Europe (Denmark (Faeroe Islands), France, Ireland, Norway, UK)). This species is routinely used in the British Isles as an indicator when making ecological assesments.

Abstract A description is provided for Bactrospora homalotropa, found on tree trunks and branches, and woody twigs of shrubs, almost always on species with smooth, relatively basic bark. Some information on its associated organisms and substrata, habitat, dispersal and transmission, and conservation status is given, along with details of its geographical distribution (North America (USA (Maine, West Virginia)), Asia (Iran), Atlantic Ocean (Portugal (Azores, Madeira), Spain (Canary Islands)), Australasia (Australia (Tasmania)), Europe (Ireland, Norway, UK)). This species is routinely used in the British Isles as an indicator when making ecological assessments, specifically as an indicator of ecological continuity, particularly in the west of Ireland and the west of Scotland, and of oceanic and temperate rain forest.

Abstract A description is provided for Anthostomella lugubris. Some information on its dispersal and transmission and conservation status is given, along with details of its geographical distribution (Atlantic Ocean (Spain, Islas Canarias), Europe (Austria, Belgium, Denmark, France, Ireland, Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, UK), North America (USA, Florida), South America (Chile)) and habitats. Some members of Anthostomella are endobionts for part of their life cycle, but for the present species the time of substratum colonization and nutritional relations with the associated plants (including Ammophila arenaria) have not been established.

Abstract A description is provided for Stictographa lentiginosa (Melaspilea lentiginosa), which is parasitic on thalli of the bark-inhabiting lichen Phaeographis dendritica, not causing significant necrosis of the host tissues but at least partially suppressing production of ascomata. Some information on its associated organisms and substrata, habitat, dispersal and transmission, and conservation status is given, along with details of its geographical distribution (North America (Canada (Newfoundland and Labrador)), South America (Brazil (Mato Grosso)), Asia (India (Himachal Pradesh)), Atlantic Ocean (Portugal (Madeira)), Europe (Denmark, France, Ireland, Portugal, UK), Pacific Ocean (USA (Hawaii))).

Abstract A description is provided for Thecotheus crustaceus, which has been recorded on dung. Some information on its habitat, dispersal and transmission, and conservation status is given, along with details of its geographical distribution (North America (Canada (Ontario, Yukon), USA (California, Michigan, New York, North Dakota, Tennessee)), South America (Argentina), Asia (Azerbaijan, Japan, Taiwan), Atlantic Ocean (Portugal (Azores), Spain (Canary Islands)), Australasia (New Zealand), Europe (Bulgaria, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Iceland, Italy, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Serbia, Sweden, 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 Anthostomella appendiculosa. Some information on its dispersal and transmission and conservation status is given, along with details of its geographical distribution (Asia (Georgia), Atlantic Ocean (Spain, Islas Canarias), Europe (France, Ireland, Italy, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, UK), North America (USA), South America (Argentina)) and habitats. Some members of Anthostomella are endobionts for part of their life cycle, but for the present species the time of substratum colonization and nutritional relations with the associated plant (Rubus fruticosus) have not been established.

Abstract A description is provided for Arthonia ilicinella, growing on tree trunks and branches, almost exclusively of species with smooth rather basic bark. Some information on its associated organisms and substrata, habitat, dispersal and transmission, and conservation status is given, along with details of its geographical distribution (South America (Argentina, Chile), Asia (South Korea), Atlantic Ocean (Portugal (Azores)), Europe (Germany, Ireland, Portugal, Spain, Switzerland, UK)). This species is routinely used in the British Isles as an indicator when making ecological assessments.
