New records of anamorphic fungi from North of Iran

Fungi associated with leaf spot symptoms of plants in forest areas of Golestan province, Iran, were collected and examined based on morphological characteristics of conidiophores, conidia and conidiogenous loci. Ten taxa were identified. Among the taxa, Passalora cf. bacilligera and Pseudocladosporium hachijoens are new records for the mycobiota of Iran. Cercospora on Eruca sp. was morphologically different from other Cercospora hitherto been reported on Brassicaceae and compared with Cercospora species on this plant family. Cercospora pantoleuca was newly reported from Golestan province (North of Iran). Furthermore, Plantago major and Sambucus nigra were found to be new hosts for Cercospora pantoleuca and Ramularia sambucina in Iran, respectively.
