P. F. Cannon

Abstract A description is provided for Protoventuria arxii. This species has been recorded on living leaves where it is likely to be mildly parasitic and, more often, on attached and fallen dead leaves and twigs, in litter on sandy acid soil in domestic garden, parkland, botanical gardens and in mixed 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 (USA (Maine, New Hampshire)), Europe (Italy, Switzerland, UK)) and hosts (Rhododendron spp.). No reports of negative economic impacts of this fungus have been found.

Abstract A description is provided for Protoventuria andromedae (Gibbera andromedae). This fungus is found on living leaves and is presumably parasitic, although very few disease symptoms result. It is found, along with its associated plants, in peat bogs including quaking bogs and raised mires. Some information on its habitats, dispersal and transmission and conservation status is given, along with details of its geographical distribution (North America (Canada (Ontario, Quebec), USA (Maine, Michigan, New Hampshire, New York)), Asia (Russia (Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug)), Europe (Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Germany, Latvia, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Sweden, Switzerland, UK)) and hosts (including Andromeda spp.). No reports of negative economic impacts of this fungus have been found.

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.

Abstract A description is provided for Hercospora tiliae. This species seems to be a saprobe fruiting on dead woody parts of plants. Some information on its dispersal and transmission, associated organisms (including Tilia sp.), and conservation status is given, along with details of its habitat and geographical distribution: Asia: Armenia and Georgia, Europe: Austria, Belgium, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Russia (Leningradskaya oblast), Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, UK and Ukraine, North America: Canada (Ontario), USA: Georgia, Iowa, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, New Hampshire and New York, North Carolina: Tennessee, Washington DC and West Virgina. No reports of negative economic impacts have been found.

Abstract A description is provided for Helminthosphaeria stuppea, which is apparently saprobic and able to colonize woody parts of a wide range of plants. 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 (USA (California, Colorado, Utah and Washington)), Europe (Austria, Czech Republic, Denmark, France and UK)) and hosts (including Tsuga mertensiana). No reports of negative economic impacts have been found.

Abstract A description is provided for Protoventuria elegantula (Gibbera elegantula). This species is apparently very mildly parasitic, found initially on living leaves, but not forming lesions, later on moribund, then dead fallen leaves, also on dead fruits. 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 (British Columbia), USA (Washington)), Europe (Austria, Finland, Germany, Italy, Norway, Sweden, Switzerland, UK)) and hosts (Vaccinium spp.). No reports of negative economic impacts of this fungus have been found.

Abstract A description is provided for Hilberina foliicola, which is apparently saprobic and able to colonize a diverse range of plants. Some information on its habitats, dispersal and transmission, and conservation status is given, along with details of its geographical distribution (North America USA Virginia Europe UK) and hosts (including Fagus sylvatica and Quercus sp.). No reports of negative economic impacts have been found.

Abstract A description is provided for Thecotheus keithii, which has been recorded on dung. Apart from a single record associated with Ranunculus repens, nothing is known about any associations with other fungi, micro-organisms or plants. Some information on its habitat, dispersal and transmission, and conservation status is given, along with details of its geographical distribution (North America (Canada (Ontario), USA (Alaska, Michigan, Oregon)), Asia (Japan), Europe (Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Iceland, Italy, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, 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 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.).

Abstract A description is provided for Ophiognomonia melanostyla. Some information on its dispersal and transmission, associated organisms (including Tilia sp.), and conservation status is given, along with details of its habitat and geographical distribution: Asia (Russia), Europe: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Czech Republic, France, Germany, Hungary, Netherlands, Poland, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, UK, Ukraine, North America: Canada (Ontario), USA (New York and Pennsylvania).
