Interpretive Summary: Reporting new host-fungus records benefits plant disease diagnosticians, regulatory officials, weed scientists, growers, and other plant health and plant production professionals. Documented herein are three separate Golovinomyces species occurring on an ornamental plant, a noxious weed, and a garden herb, respectively.

Technical Abstract: The powdery mildews Golovinomyces echinopis on Echinops exaltatus (tall globethistle), and G. biocellatus on Salvia officinalis (common sage), are documented for the first time in Washington State. Golovinomyces cynoglossi on Cynoglossum officinale (houndstongue) is documented for the first time in the state of Montana.
