However, they were widely separated from a monophyletic, yet unsupported clade containing P. lagenidioides and red algal parasites previously classified in Olpidiopsis. Consequently, all holocarpic parasites in red algae should be considered to be members of the genus Pontisma as previously suggested by some researchers. In addition, a new species of Olpidiopsis, O. parthenogenetica is introduced to accommodate the pathogen of S. terrestris.Tryblidiopsis pinastri (Leotiomycetes, Rhytismatales) was described from Picea abies in Europe and was also thought to occur on North American Picea. However, previously published sequences of Picea foliar endophytes from Eastern Canada suggested the presence of at least two cryptic Tryblidiopsis species, distinct from T. pinastri and other known species. Our subsequent sampling of Tryblidiopsis ascomata from dead attached Picea glauca branches resulted in the collection of a putatively undescribed species previously isolated as a P. glauca endophyte. Morphological evidence combined with phylogenetic analyses based on nuclear ribosomal internal transcribed spacer (ITS) and large subunit ribosomal (LSU) DNA sequences support the distinctiveness of this species, described here as T. magnesii.Species of the genus Wynnea are collected in association with a subterranean mass generally referred to as a sclerotium. This is one of the few genera of the Sarcoscyphaceae not associated with plant material - wood or leaves. The sclerotium is composed of hyphae of both Armillaria species and Wynnea species. To verify the existence of Armillaria species in the sclerotia of those Wynnea species not previously examined and to fully understand the structure and nature of the sclerotium, molecular data and morphological characters were analyzed. Using nuclear ITS rDNA sequences the Armillaria species co-occu
