This species is a common saprophyte on grasses, but has also been reported from various lichens, most frequently on Peltigera species, but also on Parmelia sulcata, Pseudevernia furfuracea and Xanthoria parietina (Sérusiaux et al. 2003, Brackel 2013). In the Netherlands it was found on Protoparmeliopsis muralis (Fig. 11). ...

Three lichen species are reported from China for the first time: Rhizocarpon cinereovirens , R. rittokense , and R. roridulum. A revision of the Chinese material determined as R. infernulum f. infernulum shows that it belongs to R. infernulum f. sylvaticum . The morphology, secondary chemistry, ecology, and distribution ranges of the species are investigated and discussed. An identification key is given to the species of Rhizocarpon subg. Phaeothallus in China.
... Tibell (1999) points out that European material of S. amabilis differs slightly from specimens from New Zealand, from where the species was originally described, and the European material may represent a distinct species (see Schultz & Steindl, 2018). The species occurs on the bark of old deciduous trees (Acer, Fagus, Fraxinus, Ulmus, Populus, and Tilia), and wood (Tibell, 1999;Diederich et al., 2012). In Poland Sclerophora amabilis was found on the trunk of an old roadside Acer negundo growing on the edge of the wide fl oodplain of the Vistula River. ...

... In his monograph of lichenicolous heterobasidiomycetes, Diederich (1996) described a species of lichenicolous Tremella growing in the hymenium of specimens of Caloplaca collected in Austria and Great Britain, but he left the species unnamed as Tremella sp. 1 due to the lack of taxonomically useful morphological characters of the specimens and the impossibility of finding differences between this species and Tremella rinodinae Diederich & M.S. Christ. The species was not formally described until 2003 (Sérusiaux et al. 2003), when enough material from new localities had been collected and studied. Sérusiaux et al. (2003) studied the type of Lindauopsis caloplacae Zahlbr. ...

Tremella caloplacae (Zahlbr.) Diederich is a species complex including at least nine different species. Here, we formally describe the new species Tremella elegantis , T. nimisiana , T. parietinae , T. pusillae and T. sorediatae . Tremella elegantis induces galls in the hymenium of Rusavskia elegans and forms 2-celled basidia, where cells rarely elongate and sometimes give the appearance of two immature, independent basidia. Tremella nimisiana has small basidiomata (less than 1 mm diam.), narrowly ellipsoid to pyriform 2-celled, occasionally clavate to subcylindrical 3-celled basidia, and grows in the hymenium of Xanthocarpia species. Tremella parietinae is characterized by the exclusive growth in the hymenium of Xanthoria parietina , the broadly fusiform to ellipsoid probasidia, and the subspherical, pyriform or ellipsoid 2(–3)-celled basidia. Tremella pusillae has ellipsoidal probasidia, 2(–3)-celled pyriform or ellipsoidal basidia that sometimes are constricted at the septum, and grows only on Calogaya pusilla . Tremella sorediatae is characterized by inducing galls on the thallus of Rusavskia sorediata and by pyriform to ellipsoid basidia that sometimes are constricted at the septum. Three species are not formally described and are left unnamed as Tremella sp. 13 on Calogaya biatorina , Tremella sp. 14 on Calogaya decipiens and Tremella sp. 15 on Polycauliona sp. Tremella caloplacae in the strict sense is re-circumscribed as a species confined to Variospora species.
... This species, considered to be fairly rare , was recently cited for the first time in the southern foreland of the eastern Pyrenees (Catalonia) (Llop et al, 2020), along with Thalloidima opuntioides, also newly cited here for the Aude department. Although mainly found around the Mediterranean, the species should be sought in more northerly stations, as it is also mentioned in Germany (Printzen et al, 2022) and Luxembourg (Diederich et al, 2012;Lichenology.info, 2023). The mention of Usnea flammea is also noteworthy, as it is the first record from the French departments along the Mediterranean coast. ...

Cette espèce considérée comme assez rare avait notamment été récemment citée pour la première fois dans l'avant-pays méridional des Pyrénées orientales (Catalogne) (Llop et al, 2020), avec Thalloidima opuntioides aussi nouvellement cité ici pour l'Aude. Bien que principalement présente sur le pourtour méditerranéen, l'espèce est à rechercher dans des stations plus septentrionales, puisqu'elle est aussi mentionnée en Allemagne (Printzen et al, 2022) et au Luxembourg (Diederich et al, 2012 ;Lichenology.info, 2023). ...
The department of Aude (Occitanie region, France) is one of the most biodiverse in mainland France, yet its land remains largely unexplored, leaving numerous lichen-forming fungi species undocumented.

... Tremella caloplacae is an example of a lichenicolous tremellalean species with a presumably wide host range on different species of the lichen family Teloschistaceae (Sérusiaux et al., 2003;Diederich, 2007). It was first reported growing on several species of Caloplaca s. l. (C. ...
Lichenicolous fungi are a heterogeneous group of organisms that grow exclusively on lichens, forming obligate associations with them. It has often been assumed that cospeciation has occurred between lichens and lichenicolous fungi, but this has been seldom analysed from a macroevolutionary perspective. Many lichenicolous species are rare or are rarely observed, which results in frequent and large gaps in the knowledge of the diversity of many groups. This, in turn, hampers evolutionary studies that necessarily are based on a reasonable knowledge of this diversity. Tremella caloplacae is a heterobasidiomycete growing on various hosts from the lichen-forming family Teloschistaceae, and evidence suggests that it may represent a species complex. We combine an exhaustive sampling with molecular and ecological data to study species delimitation, cophylogenetic events and temporal concordance of this association. Tremella caloplacae is here shown to include at least six distinct host-specific lineages (=putative species). Host switch is the dominant and most plausible event influencing diversification and explaining the coupled evolutionary history in this system, although cospeciation cannot be discarded. Speciation in T. caloplacae would therefore have occurred coinciding with the rapid diversification – by an adaptive radiation starting in the late Cretaceous – of their hosts. New species in T. caloplacae would have developed as a result of specialization on diversifying lichen hosts that suddenly offered abundant new ecological niches to explore or adapt to.

... Celothelium ischnobelum ( The genus Celothelium is reported for the first time for Russia and Eastern Europe. This is a highly unexpected finding, since C. ischnobelum is a rare species in Europe and it seems to be mostly restricted to Atlantic and well-preserved areas (Sérusiaux et al., 2003). This species is characterised by a smooth pale-green or creamy thallus with Trentepohlia photobiont. ...
... Note: It is a new species for Russia and Eastern Europe. This rare species was initially described from Greenland (Alstrup & Hawksworth, 1990), and later reported from several Central European countries and Chile (Orange, 2002;Sérusiaux et al., 2003;Roux et al., 2007;Etayo & Sancho, 2008). This species is characterised by its loosely aggregated, perithecial ascomata up to 100 µm in diameter, immersed in the host thallus, I+ pale blue hymenium and four-septate, smooth-walled ascospores, 18-24 × 5-7 µm, some-18-24 × 5-7 µm, some--24 × 5-7 µm, sometimes constricted at the septa. ...
Noteworthy findings of two lichen species and four lichenicolous fungi are presented. Two species, Celothelium ischnobelum collected from the Nizhnii Novgorod Region and Opegrapha reactiva from the Murmansk Region, are reported for the first time for Russia and Eastern Europe. Four species, Arthonia destruens, Lichenochora galligena, and Schizoxylon albescens collected in the Nizhnii Novgorod Region, and Sphaeropezia cucularis in the Murmansk Region, are new for European Russia. The genus Celothelium is reported for the first time for Russia.
