Octospora entosthodontophila, a new smooth-spored bryophilous ascomycete on Entosthodon spp., is described and illustrated based on several collections from Hungary and Spain. The new species infects various species of the terricolous
moss genus Entosthodon (Funariaceae). It is one of the first bryoparasitic Pezizales where molecular data confirmed the broader host spectrum. The newly described species is characterized by orange apothecia with a conspicuous membranaceous slightly fimbriate margin, narrowly ellipsoid to subfusiform smooth ascospores with two large and several small lipid bodies. A comparison with similar Octospora species and taxa infecting other members of the moss family Funariaceae is also provided. A phylogenetic analysis using ITS, LSU, SSU, and EF1-α sequences revealed that O. entosthodontophila forms a monophyletic group with O. excipulata, a taxon also infecting various members of the Funariaceae.

Notes: Based on the author's private records, this species was previously recorded parasitizing on shoots of F. hygrometrica on two localities in Bosnia and Herzegovina (Nišići, 44.06854° N, 18.50022° E and river Baščica near Idbar, 43.65462° N, 17.88075° E, Jukić & Omerović (2017)).

Results from bryomycological field studies in the Mediterranean part of Bosnia and Herzegovina are reported in the paper. Five bryophilous taxa of ascomycetes have been recorded on few locations around the city of Neum and on the Klek peninsula. Three of them are new for the mycobiota of Bosnia and Herzegovina – Octospora gemmicola, Lamprospora miniata var. parvispora and Lamprospora miniatavar. ratisbonensis. Macromorphology and micro-characters with ecology, phenology and distribution patterns for eachspecies are presented and briefly discussed.

This study was based on fourteen bryophilous Pyronemataceae species. Thirteen of them (Inermisia gyalectoides (Svrček & Kubička) Dennis & Itzerott, Lamprospora carbonicola Boud., Lamprospora dictydiola Boud., Lamprospora miniata De Not., Octospora areolata (Seaver) Caillet & Moyne, Octospora axillaris (Nees) M.M.

Benkert, Octospora gemmicola Benkert, Octospora musci-muralis Graddon, Octospora orthotrichi (Cooke & Ellis) K.B. Khare & V.P. Tewari, Octospora polytrichi (Schumach.) Caillet & Moyne and Octospora rustica (Velen.) J.Moravec) are given as new records for the macromycota of Turkey. Inermisia and Lamprospora are new at genus level. New localities are given for the 14th species, Octospora leucoloma Hedw. Brief descriptions about the macroscopic and microscopic characters of the species and their photographs are provided.
... Th e infection aff ects mostly the rhizoids (e.g. Benkert 2006, Eckstein and Eckstein 2009), rarely rhizoid tubers (Benkert 1998), stems, and leaves (Benkert andBrouwer 2004) as well as infrequently the protonema (Eckstein and Eckstein 2013, Döbbeler and Facher 2014, Vega et al. 2015). Because of their diffi cult perceptibility, most of bryophilous Pezizales are underrecorded worldwide and they have so far not been detected in many countries (Eckstein 2016). ...
New occurrences, macroscopic and microscopic features, and ecological aspects of Octospora erzbergeri, an obligate bryophilous ascomycete, parasitising exclusively on the moss Pseudoleskeella nervosa are discussed.

Differences from other bryophilous Pezizales with globose ascospores ornamented with isolated warts are discussed and a dichotomous key to these species is given. Gall formation on rhizoids and chloronema of the bryophyte host Campylopus pyriformis is described and illustrated. This represents the first report of gall formation for a species of the genus Lamprospora.
Remarkable bryophyte records for Sachsen-Anhalt (Germany). – Herzogia 28: 378–404.
Records of threatened and remarkable bryophyte species for Sachsen-Anhalt are presented. New records are Andreaea rothii subsp. falcata, Bryum torquescens, Conardia compacta, Distichium inclinatum,
Metzgeria fruticulosa, Orthotrichum scanicum, Ulota macrospora and Zygodon dentatus. Recent records of species previously thought to be extinct in Sachsen-Anhalt are Buxbaumia viridis, Cololejeunea calcarea, Hedwigia stellata, Syntrichia laevipila and Tritomaria exsecta. The status of Barbula convoluta var. sardoa,
Heterocladium flaccidum, Phascum cuspidatum var. papillosum and Riccia glauca var. subinermis is still a matter of controversy; new information on their occurrence in Sachsen-Anhalt is presented. The regional distribution of Conocephalum salebrosum, Cryphaea heteromalla, Orthotrichum pulchellum and Tortula revissima is mapped. The current status of threat of some selected epiphytic bryophyte species is iscussed riefly.
