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 Phacellium rufibasis, a terrestrial fungus, apparently parasitic on branches, forming a colony which encircles the branch and rapidly causes loss of vitality of the leaves and twigs distal to the colony, also forming colonies on the under-surface of leaves, causing reddish brown spots. Some information on its habitat, dispersal and transmission and conservation status is given, along with details of its geographical distribution (North America (Canada (British Columbia, Manitoba, New Brunswick, Newfoundland & Labrador, Ontario, Prince Edward Island), USA (Alaska, Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan, New York, Oklahoma, Vermont, Wisconsin)), Atlantic Ocean (Portugal (Madeira), Spain (Canary Islands)), Europe (Belgium, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Germany, Ireland, Latvia, Russia (Leningradskaya oblast), Sweden, UK)) and hosts.

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 Glutinoglossum glutinosum. 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 (Canada (British Columbia and Ontario), Mexico and USA (Connecticut, Michigan, New Hampshire, New York, North Carolina, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Vermont and Virginia)), Central America (Costa Rica), Asia (Bhutan, China (Sichuan and Yunnan), India (Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand), Nepal, Japan and Philippines), Atlantic Ocean (Bermuda, Portugal (Madeira), Spain (Canary Islands)), Australasia (Australia (Victoria) and New Zealand), Caribbean (Puerto Rico), Europe (Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Russia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Sweden, Switzerland and UK)). No reports of negative economic impacts of this fungus have been found.

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 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 Tympanopsis confertula. Some information on its dispersal and transmission and conservation status is given, along with details of its geographical distribution (Africa (South Africa), North America (USA (Georgia, Illinois, Maryland, Nebraska, New York, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Tennessee)), Asia (China Guangxi, Hebei, Heilongjiang, Yunnan, Zhejiang), India, Pakistan, Russia (Khabarovsk kari), Europe (Belgium, France, Netherlands, Spain, UK)).

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.
