... rainfall in the westernmost parts of the mountains. A. grisea has a thin, grey thallus with red-brown to dark brown, minute apothecia, up to 0.4 mm wide, that are initially immersed in thalline verrucae, at first appearing as a narrow slit and later emerging with a pseudothalline margin and finally becoming convex with the margin being excluded (Fig. 2, see also Fryday & Coppins 2008). The second species in the genus, A. andreaeicola, has been reported several times from similar habitats in Sweden, though it does not always occur in snow-lies ( Svensson et al. 2009, Svensson et al. 2011). It differs from A. grisea by having a brown thallus and longer ascospores, 18-24 × 5-7 µm ...

... This paper reports another 22 species of lichens as new to Sweden, in a few cases also new to Fennoscandia and Europe. It is part of a series of reports, recent contributions including Ekman et al. (2019), Svensson et al. (2020), and Westberg et al. (2022Westberg et al. ( , 2023. ...
We report 22 lichenised fungi as new to Sweden, of which nine are also new to Fennoscandia and one new to Europe. The newly reported species are Agonimia flabelliformis, Carneothele sphagnicola, Lecania madida, Lecanora horiza, L. subravida, L. subsaligna, Lecidea subhumida, L. toensbergii, Micarea coppinsii, M.
isidioprasina, M. microsorediata, M. pseudotsugae, M. substipitata, Miriquidica majae, Protoblastenia calvella, P. szaferi, Ptychographa xylographoides, Ramboldia subcinnabarina, Verrucaria hydrophila, V. prominula, and V. rosula. We revised Swedish specimens of Normandina acroglypta and found that all but one belong to N. chlorococca, which is reported as new to Sweden. We also publish new records of the anamorphic, possibly lichenised fungus Sphaeronaema truncatum, a long-forgotten taxon originally described from Sweden 200 years ago.

However, the lectotype in VER belongs to T. bagliettoana, but the specimen is in quite poor condition and seems to have been grazed by snails (Ekman et al. 2019).

The species described as Bacidia genuensis is transferred here to Bacidina as B. genuensis (Ramalinaceae, Lecanorales, lichenized Ascomycota). An updated morphological description is provided. The species is characterized by mostly blackish apothecia on a thick, microsquamulose thallus, a crystal-inspersed proper exciple that is mostly prosoplechtenchymatous, an ascus with a wide and dome-shaped axial body and an expanded c-layer (resulting in a thin, amyloid d-layer), a blue-green pigment in the epihymenium, proper exciple, and pycnidial wall, and an orange-brown, K+ intensifying pigment in the hypothecium and sometimes proper exciple. This combination of characters sets the species apart from its potentially close relatives Bacidina egenula and B. indigens, as well as the superficially similar, but more distantly related, Toniniopsis bagliettoana. Bacidina genuensis is currently known from a few sites in northern Italy, where it inhabits weathered and apparently shaded mortar of masonry.
... Несмотря на относительно хорошую изученность лихенофлоры Мурманской области , ее разнообразие в целом (известно более 1300 таксонов) существенно уступает разнообразию лихенофлор соседних скандинавских стран. Например, для Швеции известно более 2600 видов, для Норвегии -более 2400 видов, для Финляндии -свыше 1700 видов (Ekman et al., 2019;. На основании изучения материала, собранного первым автором преимущественно в 2020 году в разных районах Мурманской области, был выявлен ряд новых и малоизвестных видов, сведения о девяти из которых представлены в настоящей работе. ...
... Lichens and lichenicolous fungi continue to be added to the checklist of Norway, and other Fennoscandian countries, at a high rate (Ekman et al. 2019). Many of the more recent discoveries are in fact due to increased field-work activity (e.g., Arup et al. 2014, Frisch et al. 2020, Holien et al. 2016, Klepsland 2013, Klepsland & Timdal 2010, Nordén et al. 2013, Svensson et al. 2017, Tønsberg 2016, rather than taxonomic revisions. ...

... The number of lichen-forming and lichenicolous fungi listed for Fennoscandia in the second checklist of Santesson et al. (2004) was 2844, a number which rises steadily at an average of 20 species per year (Ekman et al. 2019). In the Fennoscandian countries, surveys of lichenicolous fungi have been common practice only in Sweden (e.g. ...
Seven lichenicolous fungi new to Finland were found during the revision of lichen material collected by the second author from Finland and Norway, and of historical collections made by Prof. Theodor Lippmaa in the 1920s from north-western Finland. New localities for 29 lichenicolous species collected in the southern Finnish archipelago, in northern Finland or in northern Norway are also reported.

The characteristic ecology, e.g. exposed roots and bases of trees subjected to water spray and/or sites with a prolonged snow cover (see Printzen et al. 2016) was emended by records from Sweden on sheltered rocks in montane areas (Ekman et al. 2019 Until now known only from the locus clasicus, on the bark of oak trees in Sweden.

We report on 659 epiphytic and epixylic species recorded from seven one-hectare plots established along an altitudinal
gradient in a virgin forest of the Caucasus State Nature Biosphere Reserve. A total of 564 species are lichens, 61 are lichenicolous
fungi and 34 are allied non- or facultatively lichenized fungi. one hundred forty – nine species (116 lichens,
17 lichenicolous and 16 saprophytic fungi) are new to the Northern Caucasus, including 133 species (104 lichens, 15
lichenicolous and 14 saprophytic fungi) that are new to the Caucasus Mountains. Fifty species are reported from Russia for
the first time: 37 lichens (Andreiomyces obtusaticus, Bacidina mendax, Biatora aegrefaciens, B. bacidioides, B. chrysanthoides,
Biatorella dryophila, Buellia iberica, Cliostomum haematommatis, Endohyalina ericina, Fellhanera christiansenii,
Gyalidea minuta, Japewia aliphatica, Lecanora barkmaniana, L. subravida, Lecidea strasseri, Leptogium hibernicum,
Lithothelium hyalosporum, L. phaeosporum, L. septemseptatum, Loxospora cristinae, Melanelixia epilosa, Micarea
nowakii, M. perparvula, Opegrapha trochodes, Orcularia insperata, Parvoplaca servitiana, Phylloblastia inexpectata,
Psoroglaena stigonemoides, Ptychographa xylographoides, Ramonia dictyospora, R. luteola, Rinodina polysporoides,
Thelopsis flaveola, Topelia jasonhurii, Verrucaria hegetschweileri, Wadeana minuta, Waynea giraltiae), nine lichenicolous
fungi (Arthonia vorsoeensis, Didymocyrtis melanelixiae, Epigloea urosperma, Muellerella polyspora, Phacographa
zwackhii, Pronectria pilosa, Rhymbocarpus pubescens, Taeniolella friesii, Unguiculariopsis acrocordiae) and four nonlichenized
saprophytic fungi (Cyrtidula major, Karschia cezannei, Kirschsteiniothelia recessa, Pseudotryblidium neesii).
The ratio of macrolichens ranges between 26.5 – 40 % and rises with elevation. Lichens with a trentepohlioid photobiont
are represented by 15 –51 species per plot and their species richness decreases with elevation. The species richness
of cyanolichens is substantial in all plots (15 –28 species) reflecting a negligible effect of acidification/air pollution.
Low species richness and low abundances of nitrophilous species indicate insignificant uptake of nitrogen emissions.
Beech and fir are the most preferred phorophytes, but the vast majority of lichen species have low substrate specificity.
Species richness per plots ranged between 236 and 379. The highest richness was found in a plot outside the Caucasian
Reserve and we recommend its inclusion into the protected area.

We report the three lichen-forming fungi Candelariella subdeflexa, Lecidea strasseri and Stereocaulon cephalocrustatum and the lichenicolous fungus Endococcus umbilicariae from Sweden for the first time. We also confirm Pertusaria coriacea from Sweden and present a full description of L. strasseri, based on Fennoscandian specimens.
A unique crustose lichen species was recently documented from various types of preserved forests across boreal and temperate Europe (Norway, Ukraine, the Czech Republic) and the Caucasus (Russia). It is formally described here as the new species Biatora amylacea . A phylogeny based on ITS and mtSSU sequences demonstrates that it belongs to an isolated group within the core of Biatora s. lat., together with the recently described B. radicicola . It is a distinctive taxon within the genus on account of its amyloid exciple, otherwise known only from members of the Biatora rufidula group. The new species is also characterized by amyloid thalline hyphae and the production of soredia with a blue-green pigment. This microlichen may serve as a bioindicator species of old-growth forests.
