This report deals with 79 species of fungi, collected in Cyprus in the second fortnight of November 2011. The list is annotated with diagnostic characters given for some of the specimens. Several taxa are of special interest due to their rarity: Conferticium ochraceum, Eutypa scabrosa, Glonium lineare, Hymenoscyphus calyculus, Hypoderma incrustatum, Hyphoderma nemorale, Hysterographium mori, Myriostoma coliforme, Rectipilus cistophilus, Stictis friabilis, Stictis radiata, Thanatephorus sterigmaticus, Tomentella asperula and Vuilleminia megalospora.
The paper presents eleven species of Ascochyta recently collected in central and southern part of Poland. Two of them, Ascochyta bondarceviana Melnik and Ascochyta equiseti (Desm.) Grove noted in Poland for the first time, are illustrated with microphotographs. In addition, nine other species are newly reported on their host plants species in the country. Short characteristics of the fungi species based on the collected specimens and the distribution maps of all fungi taxa are presented.
The paper presents new data on ecological peculiarities of five anamorphic fungi species, Cladorrhinum foecundissimum, Dwayaangam cornuta, Lateriramulosa uni-inflata, Pyramidospora herculiformisandTetraploa setifera, their distribution and substrate preferences are discussed. Short description, illustration and map of localities in Lithuania of recorded species are presented.
Morinia pestalozzioides, Seimatosporium hypericinum, Septoria artemisiae, S. artemisiaemaritimae, S. achilleicolaand S. symphyti, fungi not recorded in Poland before, are described and illustrated. The species were found during studies on the occurrence of parasitic fungi conducted in selected sites in the Słowiński National Park and in the Western Pomerania between 2001 and 2004.
The paper presents two species of hyphomycetous fungi, presumably Mycosphaerella anamorphs, recently collected in central and north-eastern Poland. Habit and morphology, illustrated with macro- and microphotographs, and worldwide distribution of the species are characterized. Both species have been collected in Poland for the first time.
