Abstract

Abstract A description is provided for Protoventuria andromedae ( Gibbera andromedae ). This fungus is found on living leaves and is presumably parasitic, although very few disease symptoms result. It is found, along with its associated plants, in peat bogs including quaking bogs and raised mires. Some information on its habitats, dispersal and transmission and conservation status is given, along with details of its geographical distribution (North America (Canada (Ontario, Quebec), USA (Maine, Michigan, New Hampshire, New York)), Asia (Russia (Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug)), Europe (Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Germany, Latvia, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Sweden, Switzerland, UK)) and hosts (including Andromeda spp.). No reports of negative economic impacts of this fungus have been found.
