... The most similar DNA sequences to UDB0818906 are EU553514 and EU553507 (99.9% similarity). The species forms characteristic infection spots mainly on thalli P. rufescens (Puolasmaa et al., 2012). The perithecioid ascomata are relatively big and globose; the asci of the cited specimen are cylindric in shape in dimensions of c. 90 × 10-15 μm and contain four large 1-to 2-celled ascospores in dimensions of c. 35 × 6-7 μm. ...
Sixteen species are reported as new for Estonia. Among these species, ten are lichenized and six are lichen-habiting fungi. One lichen-habiting species – Bryostigma molendoi (Heufl. ex Arnold) S.Y. Kondr. & Hur (= Arthonia molendoi (Heufl. ex Arnold) R. Sant.) and one lichenized species – Lecania nylanderiana A. Massal. should be excluded from the Estonian list of lichenized and allied fungi as misidentifications. New locality data are given for two critically endangered (CR) lichens last found more than 45 years ago – Hypogymnia vittata (Ach.) Parrique and Nephroma bellum (Spreng.) Tuck. (Lõhmus et al., 2019). Additional information on the distribution in Estonia is provided for recently described Toniniopsis separabilis (Nyl.) Gerasimova & A. Beck (Gerasimova et al., 2021).
... & Miądl. also characterized by superficial ascomata, which are unusual for the genus, and is known from Finland, Germany, Poland, Asian and European parts of Russia, and Sweden (Czyźewska 2003, Hawksworth & Miądlikowska 1997, Puolasmaa et al. 2012, Zhurbenko & Vershinina 2014. However, according to the protologue (Hawksworth & Miądlikowska 1997) and the description in Zhurbenko and Vershinina (2014), the latter species differs in having larger asci, (43-)50-64(-73) × (12-)14-17(-20) µm, and ascospores (10.5-)13.5-17(-19) ...
Endococcus peltigericola is reported for the first time from North America and Epigloea urosperma for the second time. The detection of interascal filaments in Endococcus peltigericola indicates that it may belong to the genus Polycoccum. Adelococcus immersus and Trematosphaeriopsis parmeliana are newly reported for Russia, the former is also first documented from the Arctic. The description of A. immersus, previously known only from a type specimen, is emended. Halecania alpivaga is reported new to the north-central Siberia growing on an unusual host genus (Dermatocarpon). A key to the species of lichenicolous fungi growing on Dermatocarpon is provided.
... Santesson 1949;Ihlen & Wedin 1995). In Finland and Norway, lichen-inhabiting fungi have been studied only incidentally, except for the peltigericolous fungi in Finland (Puolasmaa et al. 2012). It is only recently that initiatives such as the Three storied diversity -mapping and barcoding crustose lichens and lichenicolous fungi in the Norwegian rainforests (Frisch et al. 2020) have encouraged the study of this almost neglected group of fungi. ...
... This species is more common and has a wider host range than A. fuscopurpurea in Fennoscandia (Puolasmaa et al. 2012;Nordin et al. 2020). The hymenium of our specimens is I+ reddish and the ascospores are 15-19 × 5-6(-7) μm, corresponding to the characteristics given by Almquist (1880), Puolasmaa et al. (2012) and Zhurbenko & Brackel (2013). ...

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.
... Gyeln. (Hawksworth 1980), is known to occur on several Peltigera species (Puolasmaa et al. 2012). This species differs from N. peltigerae by its smaller ascomata (up to 90 μm diam.), longer asci (40-58 μm), larger ascospores (10-15 × 4-4.5 μm) (Hawksworth 1980;Puolasmaa et al. 2012) and different lifestyle (saprotrophic or parasymbiont). ...

Lichens are widely acknowledged to be a key component of high latitude ecosystems. However, the time investment needed for full inventories and the lack of taxonomic identification resources for crustose lichen and lichenicolous fungal diversity have hampered efforts to fully gauge the depth of species richness in these ecosystems. Using a combination of classical field inventory and extensive deployment of chemical and molecular analysis, we assessed the diversity of lichens and associated fungi in Glacier Bay National Park, Alaska (USA), a mixed landscape of coastal boreal rainforest and early successional low elevation habitats deglaciated after the Little Ice Age. We collected nearly 5000 specimens and found a total of 947 taxa, including 831 taxa of lichen-forming and 96 taxa of lichenicolous fungi together with 20 taxa of saprotrophic fungi typically included in lichen studies. A total of 98 species (10.3% of those detected) could not be assigned to known species and of those, two genera and 27 species are described here as new to science: Atrophysma cyanomelanos gen. et sp. nov., Bacidina circumpulla , Biatora marmorea , Carneothele sphagnicola gen. et sp. nov., Cirrenalia lichenicola , Corticifraga nephromatis , Fuscidea muskeg , Fuscopannaria dillmaniae , Halecania athallina , Hydropunctaria alaskana , Lambiella aliphatica , Lecania hydrophobica , Lecanora viridipruinosa , Lecidea griseomarginata , L. streveleri , Miriquidica gyrizans , Niesslia peltigerae , Ochrolechia cooperi , Placynthium glaciale , Porpidia seakensis , Rhizocarpon haidense , Sagiolechia phaeospora , Sclerococcum fissurinae , Spilonema maritimum , Thelocarpon immersum , Toensbergia blastidiata and Xenonectriella nephromatis . An additional 71 ‘known unknown’ species are cursorily described. Four new combinations are made: Lepra subvelata (G. K. Merr.) T. Sprib., Ochrolechia minuta (Degel.) T. Sprib., Steineropsis laceratula (Hue) T. Sprib. & Ekman and Toensbergia geminipara (Th. Fr.) T. Sprib. & Resl. Thirty-eight taxa are new to North America and 93 additional taxa new to Alaska. We use four to eight DNA loci to validate the placement of ten of the new species in the orders Baeomycetales , Ostropales , Lecanorales , Peltigerales , Pertusariales and the broader class Lecanoromycetes with maximum likelihood analyses. We present a total of 280 new fungal DNA sequences. The lichen inventory from Glacier Bay National Park represents the second largest number of lichens and associated fungi documented from an area of comparable size and the largest to date in North America. Coming from almost 60°N, these results again underline the potential for high lichen diversity in high latitude ecosystems.
... Pyrenidium actinellum -siliceous rocks on the lake shore, on Leptochidium albociliatum [near ostiolum aeruginose, spores 3-septate, brown, end cells paler, 20-21× 8-9 µm], MK 12297 (UGDA).
