Summary We have isolated and confirmed the identification of ash dieback fungus ( Chalara fraxinea , teleomorph Hymenoscyphus albidus ) for the first time in Finland. In a preliminary analysis, considerable amount of genetic variation was detected among 20 Finnish (Åland and mainland Finland), one Latvian and 11 Estonian isolates, analysed by random amplified microsatellite (RAMS) markers.
