Tribonema viride (Xanthophyta) on cultivated grassland during winter and spring

ABSTRACT: A yellow-green alga, Tribonema viride Pascher, has been detected on several grass fields in N-Iceland after the meltwater runoff. When the fields dry out, the filaments are left white and bleached, entangled with the grass leaves. Four species of saprophytic fungi are reported, isolated from the samples of the alga

Some foliicolous fungi on grasses In North Iceland

ABSTRACT: A number of fungi were identified from leaves of grasses collected in North Iceland in 1973-79 and from herbarium specimens collected in 1960-66. Nine species of the parasites and ten of the saprophytes reported are new records for the country. New host species are recorded for two parasites previously known from Iceland
