The plant-associated fungi Coleroa robertiani (Venturiales, Dothideomycetes) and Sporocadus rosigena (Amphisphaeriales, Sordariomycetes) are reported from Azerbaijan for the first time. Both genera are still poorly studied in the country, and some previously recorded species in these genera have been reassigned to different genera. The study examines the global distribution of C. robertiani and S. rosigena, based on reviewed publications and consultation of major databases. Detailed morphological descriptions and illustrations of the collected specimens are supplied, accompanied by notes on the species’ distribution, host plants, and characters distinguishing them from related species. Other species recorded in Azerbaijan under Coleroa and Sporocadus are also discussed, along with information on fungi associated with Geranium robertianum and Rosa canina from the region.
