Abstract:
39 microfungi from 25 different genera, including Ascomycetes of the orders Erysiphales, Meliolales, Helotiales and Pseudosphaeriineae and Basidiomycetes of the orders Uredinales as well as Hyphomycetes and Coelomycetes were found. The examined samples have been collected in Germany, Northrhine-Westfalia, in the area named Sauerland in the period of March 2000 to June 2002. Cytonema spinellum (Kalchbr.) Höhn, and Melanospora caprina (Fr. ex Hornem.) Sacc. as a hypoparasit are recorded for Germany for the first time. The samples are deposited in the Herbarium Essen (Mycotheca parva Slg. Feige/Ale-Agha).
