Abstract A description is provided for Pestalotiopsis stevensonii (syn. Pestalotia stevensonii), a colonizer of leaves and less frequently, other aerial parts of conifers, tending to prefer wet temperate regions. Some information on its dispersal and transmission and conservation status is given, along with details of its geographical distribution (Morocco, USA (New York, Pennsylvania), New Zealand, Austria, Belarus, France, Italy, Russia, Spain, Switzerland, and Ukraine) and hosts (Abies excelsa (cone and leaf), Abies sp., Juniperus communis (leaf), Picea abies (leaf, seedling), Picea sp.(leaf), Pinus banksiana (leaf), P. canariensis, P. edulis (leaf), P. halepensis (leaf), P. jeffreyi (leaf), P. ponderosa (leaf), P. radiata (leaf), P. rigida (leaf), P. strobus (leaf), P. sylvestris (cone, leaf), and Pinus sp.).

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 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)).
