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 Tubeufia parvula, found mainly on dead attached and fallen leaves, and dead stems and flowers of Ammophila, a grass of coastal sand ecosystems. 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 (Europe (Sweden, UK)).
