Abstract
Abstract A description is provided for Sporomega degenerans . The biology of this fungus is not well understood, but if similar to that of many closely related species (e.g. in the genus Lophodermium ), S. degenerans is likely to exist as an endobiont in apparently healthy symptomless living twigs, or to be weakly parasitic, producing ascomata during a saprobic phase after the twig has died. Some information on its associated organisms and substrata, habitats, dispersal and transmission, and conservation status is given, along with details of its geographical distribution (North America (Canada (Alberta, Ontario), USA (Massachusetts, Michigan, New Jersey, New York)), Asia (Georgia, Russia (Khanty-Mansi autonomous okrug)), Europe (Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Iceland, Italy, Latvia, Norway, Poland, Spain, Svalbard and Jan Mayen, Sweden, Switzerland, Ukraine, UK)). No evaluation has been made of any possible positive economic impact of this fungus and no reports of negative economic impacts have been found.
