Dear Forest Pathologists, We are studying fungi in the Gnomoniaceae, Diaporthales, and have completed a recent account of a number of species. You can see this publication online at: http://www.cbs.knaw.nl/publications/CBSPublicationDetails.aspx?Rec=62 We are continuing this research and would like to compare Cryptodiaporthe populea from Europe that we have with specimens/isolates from North America. If you have any such specimens from North America and would be willing to contribute them to this study, that would be greatly appreciated. Please contact me. Thank you!
