We provide a phylogenetic revision of the Pseudocyphellaria crocata complex in the Americas. Specimens traditionally identified as P. crocata, based on their cyanobacterial photobiont, yellow pseudocyphellae, at least partially white medulla, and yellow soralia or soralia-like structures, are shown to represent 13 distinct species, forming a monoph...
Lichenicolous fungi represent a highly specialized and successful group of organisms that live exclusively on lichens, most commonly as host-specific parasites, but also as broad-spectrum pathogens, saprotrophs or commensals. We present here the most recent update to the classification of lichenicolous fungi in the Ascomycota and Basidiomycota to g...
Two new lichenicolous fungi in the genus Dacampia are described: D. muralicola sp. nov. from the apothecia of Protoparmeliopsis muralis (syn. Lecanora muralis) in Turkey, and D. rhizocarpicola sp. nov. from thalli of Rhizocarpon obscuratum in the UK. The new species differ from those previously recognized in the genus in the size and septation of t...
Taxonomic identifications in some groups of lichen-forming fungi have been challenge largely due to the scarcity of taxonomically relevant features and limitations of morphological and chemical characters traditionally used to distinguish closely related taxa. Delineating species boundaries in closely related species or species complexes often requ...

... We encountered several specimens of an unknown Acremonium-like fungus with large and predominantly 1-septate conidia, cooccurring with perithecia of Paranectria oropensis, suggesting that they may represent the asexual stage of this species. Interestingly, the conidia in the Dutch material differ from the anamorph described by Brackel (2015), where the conidia are described as predominantly 3-septate, and measuring 25.0-30.0 × 4.7-5.7 µm (when released from the conidiogenous cells) or 34.0-38.9 ...
Recent finds of lichenicolous fungi from the Netherlands are described and discussed. Echinothecium micareae spec. nov. and Lichenochora verrucariae spec. nov. are described as new for science. An additional 31 species are reported for the first time from the Netherlands: Abrothallus cladoniae, Arthonia diploiciae, A. rinodinicola, Cladophialophora cladoniae, Dacampia cyrtellae, Dactylospora microspora, Didymocyrtis cladoniicola, D. consimilis, D. physciae, Diplotomma parasiticum, Epithamnolia pertusariae, Gonatophragmium lichenophilum, Lichenohendersonia varians, Lichenostigma chlaroterae, L. cosmopolites, Nectria brutia, Nectriopsis physciicola, Niesslia cladoniicola, Opegrapha hochstetteri, O. opaca, Phaeoseptoria peltigerae, Phaeospora lecanorae, Polycoccum aksoyi, P. laursenii, Pronectria diplococca, Pseudocercospora lichenum, Stigmidium fuscatae, Tremella candelariellae, T. occultixanthoriae, Trimmatostroma acetabuli and Zwackhiomyces diederichii. Notes are provided on these and some other interesting lichenicolous fungi. There are currently 240 species of lichenicolous fungi known from the Netherlands.
... More than 140 species belong to the latter category and are obligate parasites on lichens, almost all of which are restricted to a single host species or genus (Diederich et al. 2018; Supplementary Table S1). One should note, however, that Diederich et al. (2018) frequently include only the primary or typical hosts, and that one can find reports of many lichenicolous species on atypical hosts in the literature (e.g., Brackel (2015) reports Arthonia coronata Etayo on Cladonia spp.). Such reports may reflect the presence of undescribed cryptic species, differing significantly from related congeners only in host selection, or they may indicate that lichenicolous species have broader host tolerances than previously thought. ...

The other set of species has 2-3-septate ascospores, but these differ from the ascospores of A. galligena in having equally sized cells (i.e., isolocular) rather than the uppermost cell enlarged (i.e., macrocephalic): A. lecanoricola Alstrup & Olech, A. protoparmeliopsidis 1 Etayo & Diederich, A. subfuscicola (Linds.) ...

The ascospores of A. galactinaria have also been reported to turn subhyaline (Brackel 2015) or brownish (Foucard 2001), the latter apparently agreeing with the protologue (Kocourková 2000). Hafellner (2018) and Diederich et al. (2018) tentatively synonymized A. apotheciorum, A. galactinaria and A. subvarians. ...
Arthonia frostiicola and A. galligena are described as new to science based on collections from mountainous regions of southeastern North America. Arthonia frostiicola infects the saxicolous lichen Dirinaria frostii, producing emarginate black apothecia which erupt from within the host thallus. It is characterized by a dark hypothecium and 1-septate, obovoid ascospores which turn brownish and verruculose in age. It is known from five collections made in the southern Appalachian Mountains and Ozark Mountains in southeastern North America. Arthonia galligena produces galls in the thallus and apothecia of the corticolous lichens Lecanora masana and L. rugosella, and is apparently endemic to the high elevations of the southern Appalachian Mountains. It is characterized by a variably pigmented, pale to red-brown hypothecium and 2-septate, macrocephalic ascospores which turn brownish and verruculose in age. Keys to the species of Arthonia on Caliciales and Lecanoraceae are provided.

We examined the thalli of members of the lichen genus Solenopsora (Leprocaulaceae) to learn more about their potential to host symptomatic lichenicolous fungi. Altogether, 600 specimens were screened, out of which 78 were infected by lichenicolous fungi. We identified eleven taxa of lichenicolous fungi Arthonia sp., Ceratobasidium bulbillifaciens, Cladosporium sp., Didymocyrtis cladoniicola, Lichenosticta sp., Merismatium cf. peregrinum, Muellerella lichenicola, Muellerella triseptata, Sphaerellothecium griseae, Stigmidium solenopsoricola, and Zwackhiomyces solenopsorae, out of which S. griseae and S. solenopsoricola are described here new for science. The ratio infected specimens/total inspected host specimens (LF/host ratio) is 0.13 for all examined samples. The highest value of LF/host ratio was recorded for Solenopsora grisea and S. holophaea, respectively (0.35 and 0.30). The greatest diversity of lichenicolous fungi was denoted for Solenopsora candicans and S. grisea. The most frequent lichenicolous fungus on S. candicans was Muellerella lichenicola (85 % of infected host specimens) and Sphaerellothecium griseae (23 % of infected host specimens) on S. grisea. Morphological features and taxonomical remarks on the examined specimens are given. Darmostuk, V., Fakovcov, Z., Breidy, J., Dokmak, H., van den Boom, P. P. G. & Guttov, A. 2022.

Wir untersuchten die Thalli von Arten der Flechtengattung Solenopsora (Leprocaulaceae), um mehr ber ihr Potenzial als Wirte symptomatischer flechtenbewohnender Pilze zu erfahren. Insgesamt wurden 600 Proben betrachtet, von denen 78 mit flechtenbewohnenden Pilzen infiziert waren. Wir stellten elf Taxa flechtenbewohnender Pilze fest Arthonia sp., Ceratobasidium bulbillifaciens, Cladosporium sp., Didymocyrtis cladoniicola, Lichenosticta sp., Merismatium cf. peregrinum, Muellerella lichenicola, Muellerella triseptata, Sphaerellothecium griseae, Stigmidium solenopsoricola und Zwackhiomyces solenopsorae, von denen S. griseae und S. solenopsoricola hier als neue Arten beschrieben werden. Das Verhltnis infizierter Proben zur Gesamtprobenmenge (LF/host ratio) betrgt 0,13 fr alle betrachteten Proben. Der hchste Wert der LF/host ratio wurde fr Solenopsora grisea und S. holophaea gefunden (0,35 bzw. 0,30). Die hchste Diversitt flechtenbewohnender Pilze zeigten Solenopsora candicans und S. grisea. Der hufigste flechtenbewohnende Pilz auf S. candicans war Muellerella lichenicola (85 % der infizierten Wirts-Proben) und Sphaerellothecium griseae auf S. grisea (23 % der infizierten Wirts-Proben). Morphologische Merkmale der untersuchten Proben werden beschrieben und taxonomische Bemerkungen gemacht.

Brackel, W.v.: Lichenicolous fungi from Campania (Italy).-Borziana 2: 031-068. 2021-ISSN: 2724-5020 online. During a two weeks excursion to Campania in 2016, 36 lichenologically interesting sites were visited. The results of these field studies with special emphasis on lichenicolous fungi are presented , completed with data from the literature. The resulting list comprises 56 species based on original data (own recent records) and 29 species known only from literature ; now 85 species of lichenicolous fungi are known from Campania (80 non-lichenized, obligatory lichenicolous fungi). Among these, one species (Microsphaeropsis lichenicola) is new to Europe, one species (Feltgeniomyces luxemburgensis) is new to Italy and 47 species are new to Campania. The new species Endococcus collematis Brackel is described. Provisional descriptions are given for Arthonia sp. (on Pannaria conoplea), Capronia lecanorae ad int. (on Lecanora horiza), Lichenopeltella lecanoricola ad int. (on L. horiza), Polycoccum sp. (on Romjularia lurida) and Stigmidium sp. (on Xanthoparmelia conspersa). In the Table 1, a list of all noted lichens from the 36 visited sites is given.
... Notes: Paralecia pratorum, the type species of this monotypic genus, is a Lecidella-/Biatora-like discomycete for which a closer relationship to Squamarina has been postulated (Liu et al. 2015) but in our opinion this needs confirmation as the sets of phenotypic hymenial characters of the two genera are very different. The fungus appears to be a restricted to Protoparmeliopsis and has only previously been recorded from Italy (Liu et al. 2015, Brackel 2015 and Sweden (Svensson et al. 2017). ...

Also other authors had placed question marks behind some of their determinations, mainly because of difficulties in interpreting the taxonomical value of the sometimes variable K+ reaction of the ascomatal wall (e.g. Brackel 2009, 2014, 2015, Zhurbenko & Otte 2012, Etayo 2017; the latter observed two diverse types of the K reaction ("violeta-morado" or "purpura", meaning "violet" or "purple"). ...
Confusion about the identity of Xenonectriella leptaleae (J.Steiner) Rossman & Lowen led us to revise Central European material of the hypocrealean genera Pronectria and Xenonectriella growing on foliose Physciaceae to clarify the taxonomy. Consequently, we reinstate Pronectria leptaleae and describe Pronectria etayoi, Xenonectriella physciacearum and X. zimmermanni as new species. The new combination Xenonectriella angulospora is proposed. A key to the species of the genera Pronectria and Xenonectriella growing on Physciaceae in Europe is provided.
