Leptographium piriforme Greif, Gibas and Currah, described in 2006 from western Canada has recently been collected in Jaroszowiec in Poland. The ophiostomatoid fungus L. piriforme was isolated from fallen Pinus sylvestris L. shoots infested by Tomicus spp. Isolates were identified to species using morphological characteristics and nuclear ribosomal DNA sequences. Two-year-old P. sylvestris seedlings were wound-inoculated with one isolate of L. piriforme. Leptographium piriforme produced necrotic lesions in the phloem of the seedlings, but none of the plant inoculated with this fungus died. This is the first report of L. piriforme from Poland and entire Europe
