Acknowledgments We owe very sincere thanks to Ms. Chikako Take-hashi, Mr. Susumu Koshimizu of The Forum of Fungi in Northern Japan, and Ms. Hanako Naito and volunteer members of Ishikarihama Seaside Plants Conservation Center (Japan) for support in collecting basidiocarps and sclerotia of T. maritima. We are most grateful to Prof. Tomomi Sato in Graduate School of Letters, Hokkaido University (Japan) for choosing accurate Ainu words to prepare the fungal name, and to Dr. Ken Katsumoto, ex-professor at Yamaguchi University, for revising the Latin descriptions. This research was financially supported in part by a Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research (KAKENHI) (no. 19570100 and 18255005) from the Japanese Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS).

N2 - Typhula maritima on coastal dunes in Ishikari and Yoichi, Hokkaido, northern Japan, is illustrated as a new species on the basis of morphology and molecular evidence. The sclerotia in the sand had mycelial strands that extended upward to support basidiocarps. Mycelial strands also connected sclerotia with plant tissues of the dunegrass Eylmus mollis Trin. Typhula maritima is psychrotrophic and halotrophic, and sclerotia floated on seawater for 1 week. These physiological characteristics are important factors for adaptation to the coastal dune environment. Inoculation tests indicated that T. maritima could grow on living E. mollis, but it was not pathogenic. The results suggested that this fungus was, at least, not an active pathogen in the coastal dune ecosystem. Ex-holotype is TH-AIST-Tm-1 (= NBRC 104266).
