Abstrakt: Distribution of Acremoniumendophytes in several species of Agrostideae is determined through surveys conducted in the field and in grass herbaria. Widespread geographic distribution of Acremoniumin a particular grass species may indicate early colonization of the grass as a host, while a narrow pattern of geographic distribution suggests more recent colonization of the grass. Two grasses that appear to show a narrow endophyte distribution include Agrostis albaand Ammophila breviligulata.Cultural features of endophytes from several grasses are compared. A new variety of Acremonium typhinumis proposed to accommodate the endophyte from A. breviligulata.An endophyte in Agrostis albais identified as Acremonium starrii.It is also suggested that Acremoniumendophytes are spreading in grasses and may be progressively colonizing new hosts.
