Three species of the genus Podospora Cesati are described and illustrated. P. carpinicola, spec. nov., and P. inaequalis (Cain) Cain were isolated from dead leaves of Carpinus collected at Fontainebleau. The isolate of P. minicauda Faurel & Locquin-Linard was obtained from a soil sample from the Kharga oasis in the Egyptian Western Desert.
