Paranectria oropensis [Descriptions of Fungi and Bacteria].

Abstract A description is provided for Paranectria oropensis , a plurivorous species with very little evidence of host specificity. Some information on its habitat, dispersal and transmission, and conservation status is given, along with details of its geographical distribution (North America (Canada (Ontario), Mexico, USA (Massachusetts, Minnesota, New York, North Carolina)), Asia (China (Yunnan), Russia (Krasnoyarsk Krai), Taiwan), Atlantic Ocean (Spain (Canary Islands)), Europe (Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Russia (Karachay-Cherkess Republic), Slovakia, Spain, Sweden, Ukraine, UK)). No evaluation has been made of any possible positive economic impact of this fungus (e.g. as a recycler, as a source of useful products, as a provider of checks and balances within its ecosystem, etc.). Also, no reports of negative economic impacts have been found.
