Thirty Greenlandic collections of Crepidotus, Pellidiscus and Ramicola (Agaricales, Basidiomycetes), mainly collected in the last years have been studied. Descriptions, illustrations and a key is given to six species: C. fusisporus, C. lundellii, C. subverrucisporus, C. versutus, P. pallidus , and R. haustellaris. Five species are recorded as new to Greenland. The type of C. longisporus has been reexamined. SEM studies show the significance of spore ornamentation for the taxonomy of these fungi. The floristic patterns are discussed; C. fusisporus is an American element of the Greenlandic mycoflora.
