Poronia ingii was first described in 1992 by Rogers et Læssøe (as Podosordaria ingii J. D. Rogers et Læssøe) and was so far only known from this first collection on fronds of Phoenix dactylifera in Canary Islands. A recent collection in the same island (La Gomera) on palm material (Phoenix canariensis), along with absence of records from other locations since the date of its discovery suggest a possible endemism of this species to Canary Islands and suggest a possible host-preference for palm material. The very good condition and abundance of the newly collected material allowed a safe identification and provided opportunity to illustrate this still poorly known species with colour photographs for the first time. Another collection of a very similar fungus on seeds of Beta vulgaris, unfortunately immature and sterile, represents either the same, morphologically slightly different species or a novel closely related one. In absence of microscopic distinctive characters, its status cannot be safely assessed until fertile material is collected

New phylogenetic studies focused on the family Sarcosomataceae support the independence of the genera Plectania, Pseudoplectania, Donadinia, Sarcosoma, Galiella and Urnula. Galiella is restricted to the temperate species, while the tropical taxa seem to be more related to the family Chorioactidaceae, and are here accomodated in the prioritary genus Trichaleurina. The lineage including the type species of Urnula is here shown to include also several morphologically deviant species. The genus Pseudosarcosoma is here proposed to accommodate Sarcosoma latahensis/Plectania latahense in the family Chorioactidaceae, since this lineage is not related to the type species of the genus Sarcosoma, S. globosum.

A detailed morphological study of the rare ascomycete Wolfina aurantiopsis (Ellis) Eckblad is presented after the thorough study of two collections from Tennessee (USA). Macroscopic and microscopic color photographs as well as line drawings are included. Notes regarding taxonomy and nomenclature of W. aurantiopsis and related species are proposed.

Pseudoplectania melaena (Fr.) Sacc. (= P. vogesiaca) is a widespread species, growing on dead wood of conifers (Abies sp. in Europe), during spring, in mountainous areas. In some regions, it is considered as rare or uncommon, that’s why we propose a full description of this taxon based both on recent collections and ancient specimens housed in Persoon’s herbarium (L). Taxonomical and nomenclatural aspects are provided, and a lectotype is designated. Although limited, the risk of confusion with other species of the genus is discussed.

The authors report a detailed morphological study of Urnula hiemalis, based on recent Finnish collections. Colour pictures of fresh and dried material, microscopy, as well as B/W drawings are provided. The taxon is also compared with the closest species like U. craterium, U. groenlandica and U. brachysperma.

The 2013 version of "Contribution à l’étude des discomycètes" aims at an easier comprehension of the Pezizomycetes. The necessary features to the knowledge of genera and species are delt with, such as reproduction cycle, habitats and collecting devices, along with macroscopic and microscopic specific studies facilitating their identification and the preparation of exsiccata. The study of microscopic features has been emphasized in order to enable an clear description of the necessary features for a precise species identification. A great number of drawings and photographs are given to illustrate the text.

Patinella hyalophaea (type species of Patinella) is redescribed from the type material from Italy and from a recent collection from Canada. Further records of this apparently rare species could not be traced. Its ecological amplitude involves decorticated branches of both angio- (Fagus) and gymnosperms in montane, humid beech forests mixed with conifers. A possible adaptation to flooding by streams is discussed. The affinities of Patinella within the Helotiales are unsettled, whereas an earlier proposed relation to the Orbiliomycetes based on the capitate paraphyses is considered as quite improbable.

Based on recent collections from Ethiopia, two species of the genus Octospora are presented. O. kilimanjarensis J. Moravec is reported for the first time for Ethiopia and the second time worldwide. Due to the difficulties in assigning the second Octospora sp. to an existing taxon it is only described and illustrated.
