%X Two discomycetes with operculate asci and growing from soil and Junipers, respectively, are reported in this study. The causal agent of Juniper’s twig wilting disease was reported without fungal description by Sawada as Pitya cupressi. Its scientific name was further cited in〝List of The Fungi in Taiwan〞. This pathogen was rediscovered from Yangmingshan National Park and the campus of Taipei Municipal Teachers’ College. The correct scientific name for this fungus cited in “List of the Fungi in Taiwan” should be corrected from Pitya cupressi to Pithya cupressi. Besides the rediscovery of Pithya cupressi, Cheilymenia theleboloides was reported for the first time from Chang-Hwa County, Taiwan. In this study the macroscopic and microscopic morphologies of both Pezizales from Taiwan will be described in detail.
