- A. ostoyae
major major pathogen pathogen on conifers, also attacks hardwoods, large clones NA, Eur. NABS NABS VI VI
- A. mellea
major major pathogen pathogen on hardwoods particularly ornamentals, also attacks conifers NA, Eur NABS NABS VII VII A. gallica (bulbosa) weak pathogen, but may act as a secondary invader of stressed trees, common in suppressed over mature hardwoods, very large clones NA, Eur.
- A. borealis
moderate pathogen, common butt rot
- f conifers in northern Europe

similar to A.gallica in morphology and behavior, associated with butt rot of conifers in Finland NA, Eur NABS II
- A. gemina
apparently weak pathogen NA NABS III A. calvenscens Observed as a hardwood pathogen in the NE NA NABS V
