New, rare and remarkable microfungi from Macedonia (Greece)

On the occasion of the great excursion of the Botanical Institute of the University of Essen in the year 2000 we were able to collect about 250 species of parasitic and saprophytic microfungi in eastern Greece. Dominant were Ascomycetes, Basidiomycetes and Deuteromycetes, for example Puccinia convolvuli on Calystegia silvatica, Puccinia caricina on Carex flava, Ramularia cynoglossi on Cynoglossum creticum, Phyllosticta juglandis and Marssonina juglandis on Juglans regia, Erysiphe cynoglossi on Echium italicum and Hendersonia culmiseda on Phragmites australis. Many of our collections contain rare and to a great extend unknown species for the area of investigation. All samples are located in the Herbarium ESS, Mycotheca parva, collection G.B. Feige & N. Ale-Agha.
