Notes – The monotypic genus Eosphaeria is characterized by verrucose ascomata, clavate asci and curved ascospores. The curved ascospores are similar to those found in Lasiosphaeria (Kruys et al. 2015). In this entry we illustrate a specimen of E. uliginosa collected in the USA. We have not compared this with the type specimens of Eosphaeria, but its morphological features fit the description of E. uliginosa (Höhnel 1917).
Type species: Eosphaeria uliginosa (Kunze) Höhn.
Other accepted species: Species Fungorum – search Eosphaeria.
