Abstract
Three new species of Xylaria, X. lepidota, X. primorskensis and X. sibirica were collected from Primorsky Territory in Russian Far East and neighboring areas. Xylaria primorskensis is a species with erect, stipitate stromata, whereas X. lepidota and X. sibirica produce stunted, sessile stromata. Cultures were obtained from X. primorskensis and X. sibirica. Xylaria sibirica formed a Xylocoremium anamorph in culture, while X. primorskensis remained sterile.
