Description
Summary:During research carried on peatlands in northeastern Poland, small leaf-litter ascomycete identified as Wentiomyces sp. was found on decaying litter of Sphagnum sp. and Vaccinium oxycoccos. The taxonomy of this genus remains obscure, and there are still few and incidental published records in the mycological literature. This taxon is therefore described in the present paper in more detail and a short overview on the current knowledge regarding ecology and systematics of Wentiomyces spp. is provided.
