A new species of Leucogyrophana (Boletales: Coniophoraceae) is described. Leucogyrophana lichenicola is compared with Leucogyrophana romellii Ginns, from which it differs in being lichenicolous, producing brightly colored sclerotia, and in certain cultural characters. The new species produces both basidiomata and orange sclerotia within and on the undersides of lichen mats of the genera Cladonia and Stereocaulon. It has been recorded from Ontario, Quebec, and the Northwest Territories in Canada and from Finland, Norway, and Sweden. The geographic and host ranges for L. romellii are extended. The cultures of L. lichenicola and L. romellii showed no activity for laccase, tyrosinase, peroxidase, or ligninase, but cellulase activity was present.Key words: lichenicolous fungi, brown-rot fungi, Basidiomycota, Boletales.

From a study of living materials and specimens in several regional herbaria, a list has been drawn up of all the common and several of the rarer tube-dwelling diatoms of eastern Canada. Descriptions, illustrations of living material and acid-cleaned valves, and a key to the species are provided. Most specimens were from the Atlantic Provinces and the St. Lawrence estuary, but a few were from the Northwest Territories. By far the most common species is Berkeleya rutilans. Other species occurring commonly in the Quoddy Region of the Bay of Fundy, and sporadically in space and time elsewhere, arc Navicula delognei (two forms), Nav. pseudocomoides, Nav. smithii, Haslea crucigera, and a new species, Nav.rusticensis. Navicula ramosissima and Nav. mollis in eastern Canada are usually found as scattered cohabitants in tubes of other species. Nitzschia tubicola and Nz. fontifuga also occur sporadically as cohabitants.

Antrodia uzbekistanica sp. nov. is described and illustrated from juniper trees in Uzbekistan based on morphological characters and molecular evidence. It is characterized by producing annual, resupinate basidiome with large pores (1–2 per mm), a dimitic hyphal structure with clamp connections on generative hyphae, hyaline, thin-walled and cylindric basidiospores (6.5–8 × 2.7–3 µm), the presence of thick-walled and cyanophilous chlamydospores, and by causing a typical brown rot of Juniperus seravschanica in arid and semi-arid regions of Uzbekistan. The new species resembles Antrodia sinuosa macroscopically, but this species differs by having smaller basidiospores (4–6 × 1–2 µm), lacking of chlamydospores, and growing on wood of Pinaceae species. In nuclear large subunit rDNA (nLSU) and internal transcribed spacer (ITS) based phylogenies, the new species formed a distinct lineage in the Antrodia clade, and it is closely related to A. juniperina, which differs by having perennial, effused-reflexed basidiome with nodulose or round edged pilei, daedaleoid to labyrinthine pores, and larger and narrowly ellipsoid basidiospores (6.5–9 × 2.5–3.5 µm).

AbstractMonelasmina, previously known only from the Frasnian of Europe, is described and figured from the Hay River formation (Frasnian) of the Northwest Territories, Canada. The specimens are referred to a new species, M. besti.

Abstract M. fructigena is one of several apothecial ascomycetes causing brown rot and blossom blight of stone fruit and pome fruit trees worldwide. It has a more restricted distribution than the other species, occurring in Europe and Asia, but not in North America. Reports of its occurrence in South America are likely to be errors in identification. Recent identification of a new species in Japan suggests that it may not be present there, as previously thought, and reports from other parts of eastern Asia may have to be re-examined. It is a quarantine pest for Canada, the USA, Australia and New Zealand. One unusual introduction to the USA was resolved by eradication (Batra, 1979; Ogawa and English, 1991). Introduction could occur through the importation of infected fruit as well as of tree material for propagation and breeding, from which it could spread readily by means of conidia carried by the wind or insects.

The genus Nadiastrophia previously recorded only from Australia and China, is described from the Headless Formation of the Mackenzie Mountains. This discovery further emphasizes the early Middle Devonian faunal affinities between the Cordilleran and southeastern Pacific regions. The Mackenzie Mountains Nadiastrophia is assigned to a new species, N. mackenziensis.
