It is confined to the northern hemisphere. Salmon recognizes in addition to the typical form six varieties. Those of economic importance are: (a) extensa (C. & P.) Salm., a robust form on various American species of oaks; (b) calocladophora (Atk.) Salm., also a robust form on American oaks but having pseudo-trichotomously branched appendages and large spores; (c) vaccinii (Schw.) Salm., in America on Catalpa and various genera of Ericaceae is a small-spored, long-appendaged form. It includes M elevata on Catalpa; (d) lonicerae (D. C.) Salm., on species of Lonicera in Europe.
