Two new species, Athelia repetobasidifera and Sistotrema microsporum and one new variety, Grandinia arguta var. sphaerospora are described from Japan. The first fungus is characterized by lacking clamps at septa, having small basidiospores and often producing new basidia by the intrabasidial repetition. The second fungus is distinguishable from the previously described species in having smaller basidia and basidiospores. The third one, a new variety, differs from the type variety primarily in having globose and thick-walled (up to 0.5μm thick) basidiospores.
