Abstract
Conifers severely affected by brown needle blight disease caused by the ascomycete Lecanosticta acicola (Thüm.) Syd. show defoliation, reduced growth, and death. Although L. acicola has been known in Europe since 1942, its teleomorph, Mycosphaerella dearnessii Rostrup, has not yet been found. In this brief, we address the occurrence of Mycosphaerella dearnessii in dead needles cast from Pinus radiata D. Don collected in the north of Spain (Basque country). To our knowledge, this is the first report of M. dearnessii, teleomorph of L. acicola, in Europe.
