Biogeography: Continent: Africa, Asia-Temperate, and Europe. Region(s): Northern Africa, Middle Asia, and China. Country or state(s): Denmark, Finland, United Kingdom, Norway, Sweden, former Czechoslovakia (incl. Czech Republic & Slovacia), Germany, Hungary, Poland, Switzerland (incl.

Ecology: Biotroph; phytopathogenic; growing on stems, leaves, or fruits, amphigenous. Host or Phorophyte Taxonomy: Galium aparine L.; Galium, Rubiaceae.
Reproduction Strategy: With sexual (and possible asexual) stages. Ascocarps: Cleistothecioid, orbicular, forming independently from the host thallus or mycelium, scattered or in loose groups, (.08)-.1-.14-(.16) mm in diam.. Margin: External filaments present (length variable, sometimes poorly developed, very short, shorter than the cleistothecial diam., or well developed); interlaced with each other (differentiation between mycelium and appendages difficult) or interwoven with surrounding mycelium, mycelioid, straight, up to 2 µm long, 3.5-7.5 µm in diameter, hyaline or faintly pigmented (later), few or numerous (number variable, sometimes poorly developed), growing all across the lower half of the ascocarp, smooth or rough, thin, not ramified, septate.
Asci: 4-12 asci per ascocarp, not stipitate or indistinctly stipitate, (35)-50-60-(75) µm long, 25-40 µm wide; dehiscence unitunicate (ascospores usually not developed in samples of the current season, asci immature, development of the spores after overwintering).
Ascospores: 12 or c. 4 per ascus, spores 2-4 per ascus, subglobose, ellipsoid, or ovoid, 16-21 µm long, 10-12 µm wide; septa absent.
Conidiomata: Present; hyphomycetous.
Conidiophores: Euoidium-type; not branched; basal cells 50-70 µm long, 10-14 µm wide. Conidium Formation: Conidiogenous cells in chains. Conidia: Ellipsoid, ovoid, doliiform, or sub-cylindrical; macroconidial (conidia length and width measured on fresh material), not branched, (20)-24-35 µm long, 13-17 µm wide; aseptate.
