Epichloë
''Epichloë'' is a genus of ascomycete fungi forming an endophytic symbiosis with grasses. Grass choke disease is a symptom in grasses induced by some ''Epichloë'' species, which form spore-bearing mats ( stromata) on tillers and suppress the development of their host plant's inflorescence. For most of their life cycle however, ''Epichloë'' grow in the intercellular space of stems, leaves, inflorescences, and seeds of the grass plant without incurring symptoms of disease. In fact, they provide several benefits to their host, including the production of different herbivore-deterring alkaloids, increased stress resistance, and growth promotion. Within the family Clavicipitaceae, ''Epichloë'' is embedded in a group of endophytic and plant pathogenic fungi, whose common ancestor probably derived from an animal pathogen. The genus includes both species with a sexually reproducing (teleomorphic) stage and asexual, anamorphic species. The latter were previously placed in the ...

Epichloë Stromatolonga
''Epichloë stromatolonga'' is a haploid species in the fungal genus ''Epichloë''. A systemic and seed-transmissible grass symbiont first described in 2009, ''Epichloë stromatolonga'' is a sister lineage to '' Epichloë amarillans'', ''Epichloë baconii'', '' Epichloë festucae'' and '' Epichloë mollis''. ''Epichloë stromatolonga'' is found in Asia, where it has been identified in the grass species ''Calamagrostis epigejos ''Calamagrostis epigejos'', common names wood small-reed or bushgrass, is a species of grass in the family Poaceae which is native to Eurasia and Africa. It is found from average moisture locales to salt marsh and wet habitats.

Agrostis Capillaris
''Agrostis capillaris'', the common bent, colonial bent, or browntop, is a rhizomatous and stoloniferous perennial in the grass family (Poaceae). It is native to Eurasia and has been widely introduced in many parts of the world. Colonial bent grows in moist grasslands and open meadows, and can also be found in agricultural areas, roadsides, and invading disturbed areas. The name '' Agrostis'' comes from the Greek word meaning forage plant, ''agros'' meaning "a field". It is found growing in neutral to acidic soils. It has a very fine texture and like most bent grasses grows very dense. Although this species is used on golf courses, providing some of the best ball playing surfaces in the world, it also produces a spectacular visual appearance when maintained properly. It provides an excellent home lawn but is not tolerant of heavy use. Colonial bent is fairly easy to grow from seeds and fertilization of the lawn is not as intense. This grass also takes longer to establish t ...

Agrostis Stolonifera
''Agrostis stolonifera'' (creeping bentgrass, creeping bent, fiorin, spreading bent or carpet bentgrass) is a perennial grass species in the family Poaceae. Description ''Agrostis stolonifera'' is stoloniferous and may form mats or tufts. The prostrate stems of this species grow to long with long leaf blades and a panicle reaching up to in height. The ligule is pointed and up to long. This differs from common bent, ''Agrostis capillaris'', which is short and does not come to a point. The leaves are tapering, often with a blue-grey colour. The grass is not tufted and the spikelets are red and tightly closed within the panicle. It flowers in July and August. Distribution It can be found growing in a variety of habitats including woodlands, grasslands and meadows, wetlands, riparian zones, and as a pioneer species on disturbed sites. It is native to Eurasia and North Africa (Algeria, Morocco and Tunisia). It is possible that it may also be native to northern parts of ...

Calamagrostis Villosa
''Calamagrostis villosa'' is a species of flowering plant from the family Poaceae which is native to Europe. Description The species is perennial and caespitose with short rhizomes and long culms. It ligule have an eciliate membrane which is long and is also lacerate. The leaf-blades are wide with the bottom being scabrous and pilose. The panicle is open, inflorescenced, and linear. It is also long and wide with the branches being scaberulous. Spikelets are cuneate and are . They carry one fertile floret which have a bearded floret callus. Fertile lemma is keelless, membranous, oblong and is long. Lemma itself have a dentate apex with the main lemma having awns which are over the lemma and are sized . The species also have glumes which are lanceolate, membranous, and have acuminate apexes with the upper glume being of the same size as a spikelet. Rhachilla is long and pilose. Flowers have two lodicules and two stigmas along with and three stamens. The fruits are car ...

Calamagrostis Varia
''Calamagrostis varia'' is a species of flowering plant from the family Poaceae which is native to Europe. Description The species is perennial and caespitose with short rhizomes and erect culms which are long. It ligule have an eciliate membrane which is long and is also lacerate, and obtuse. The leaf-blades are by with the bottom being glabrous. The panicle is open, linear, is long and have scabrous branches. It fertile spikelets are lanceolate and are . They carry one fertile floret which have a hairy floret callus which is over lemma. Fertile lemma is oblong and is of the same size as a spikelet, membranous and keelless. Lemma itself have an asperulous surface and dentate apex with the main lemma having awns which are over the lemma and are geniculated and are long.

Calamagrostis
''Calamagrostis'' (reed grass or smallweed) is a genus of flowering plants in the grass family Poaceae, with about 260 species that occur mainly in temperate regions of the globe. Towards equatorial latitudes, species of ''Calamagrostis'' generally occur at higher elevations. These tufted perennials usually have hairless narrow leaves. The ligules are usually blunt. The inflorescence forms a panicle. Some may be reed-like. The plants may be rhizomatous (underground stems with shoots), stoloniferous (with runners), or caespitose (growing in tufts or clumps). The bisexual spikelets have a single floret and generally they are purple or purple-brown. The spikelets are clustered into inflorescences, which usually develop in early- to mid-summer on long culms ( = stems). Many species of ''Calamagrostis'' are morphologically similar, but they generally occur in distinct habitats, and they have unique geographical distributions. Given the subtle distinctions between many closely related ...

Fungi Described In 1993
A fungus ( : fungi or funguses) is any member of the group of eukaryotic organisms that includes microorganisms such as yeasts and molds, as well as the more familiar mushrooms. These organisms are classified as a kingdom, separately from the other eukaryotic kingdoms, which by one traditional classification include Plantae, Animalia, Protozoa, and Chromista. A characteristic that places fungi in a different kingdom from plants, bacteria, and some protists is chitin in their cell walls. Fungi, like animals, are heterotrophs; they acquire their food by absorbing dissolved molecules, typically by secreting digestive enzymes into their environment. Fungi do not photosynthesize. Growth is their means of mobility, except for spores (a few of which are flagellated), which may travel through the air or water. Fungi are the principal decomposers in ecological systems. These and other differences place fungi in a single group of related organisms, named the ''Eumycota'' (''true fun ...
