Abstract
Three lignicolous freshwater ascomycetes from rivers in Akkeshi, Hokkaido, northern Japan are reported. All of these are new species belonging to the Lophiostomataceae and described as Lophiostoma breviappendiculatum, Massarina clionina, and Massariosphaeria maxima. Morphological differences between each species and its similar taxa are noted. All three species have been observed to produce only ascomatal states in artificial culture.
