... The lichen monitoring program includes an assessment of the lichen diversity in the study plots every five years. The second stage of monitoring was conducted in November of 2011. During the 2011 assessment, six new plots were added to the original six to increase the statistical power of the analyses that could be performed on the data collected (Fig. 2). In these additional plots, lichen species new to Kejimkujik were discovered. Outside of the study plots, records of lichen species previously unreported in the park were also discovered opportunistically (Figs. 2 and 3). The present study includes an update to the lichen checklist for Kejimkujik and identifies rare or interesting ...

... To verify that species are new reports for Forillon, Quebec, or Canada, we searched 5 databases: Canadensys, CANL, Consortium of North American Lichen Herbaria (CNALH), Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF), and the New York Botanical Garden (NY). In addition, we conducted a review of salient North American lichen literature (Ahti 1969;Ahti and Brodo 1981;Brodo and Hawksworth 1977;Degelius 1941;Dodge 1926;Esslinger 1977;Gowan and Brodo 1988;Hinds et al. 1998;McMullin 2012McMullin , 2018McMullin and Dorin 2016;McMullin et al. 2017a, b;Otálora et al. 2014;Otte et al. 2005;Sierk 1964;Sirois et al. 1988;Stone et al. 2016;Velmala et al. 2014) and unpublished data on Quebec collections (R.T. McMullin, unpub. data). ...
In Canada, detailed knowledge of the macrolichen biota in national parks is surprisingly sparse. Forillon National Park (Forillon) in Quebec, Canada, is an example, with no previously published accounts of lichens. To fill this knowledge gap, we conducted a survey of the macrolichens in the park and reviewed past collections to establish a baseline list of species. We report 140 taxa from Forillon (139 species and 2 subspecies, in 39 genera). Notable species include: Melanohalea exasperata, a first record for Canada; Scytinium teretiusculum, a first record for Quebec; Parmelia fertilis, a northern range extension; Hypogymnia subobscura, a species with an Arctic affinity; and Bryoria salazinica, Cladonia labradorica, and Leptogium acadiense, which are endemic to northeastern North America and infrequently collected. We provide an annotated list of species and an identification key to the macrolichen species of Forillon.

... Our results contribute to establishing a better understanding of the lichen biota in the northern Appalachian Mountains and the Gaspé Peninsula (e.g., Dodge 1926, McMullin & Dorin 2016, McMullin et al. 2017b, Sirois et al. 1988). They also add to notable work on lichen biogeography and diversity in eastern Canada (e.g., Gowan & Brodo 1988;McMullin 2009McMullin , 2012McMullin , 2015McMullin & Wiersma 2017;McMullin et al. 2008McMullin et al. , 2017aSelva 1999), and more broadly to the body of knowledge on Appalachian lichens (e.g., Allen & Lendemer 2016b;Selva 2013Selva , 2014Selva , 2016Lendemer et al. 2013). ...
The lichen biota of North America is poorly documented in many areas, including
many of Canada's national parks. For example, Forillon National Park in Quebec, Canada
had no previously published accounts of its lichen biota. Therefore, we conducted a
comprehensive survey of macrolichens and calicioid lichens and fungi in the park to
establish a baseline species list. We discovered 170 taxa in the park (169 species and two
subspecies in 48 genera). One species, Melanohalea exasperata, is a first record for
Canada; three species, Calicium denigratum, Sclerophora coniophaea, and Scytinium
teretiusculum, are new provincial records; two species; Chaenothecopsis oregana and
Parmelia fertilis, have notable range extensions; and one species, Sclerophora peronella,
is listed as ‘special concern’ under Schedule 1 of the Canadian Species at Risk Act. We
present annotated checklists and identification keys to the macrolichen and calicioid
species of Forillon National Park.
... Phaeocalicium polyporaeum is relatively common throughout the eastern North American temperate hardwood forests (and similar biomes on other continents, e.g., Spier et al. 2008), closely tracking the distribution of its host fungi throughout this region (Hutchison 1987;Selva 1988;LaGreca et al. 2005;Keller et al. 2007;McMullin 2012;McMullin & Lendemer 2013Lendemer et al. 2016;Tripp & Lendemer, in press). In the area, it is probably more common than currently understood, owing to its small size and inconspicuousness to all but the closest observers. ...
... Hutchison (1987) described its preferred substrate, Trichaptum biforme (=Hirschioporus pargamenus (Fr.) Bondartsev & Singer) as a common shelf fungus of eastern North America and this proposed association between fungus, substrate, and calicioid fungus has been widely confirmed in numerous other lichenological studies of eastern North America (Hutchison 1987;Selva 1988;LaGreca et al. 2005;Keller et al. 2007;McMullin 2012;McMullin & Lendemer 2013Lendemer et al. 2016;Tripp & Lendemer 2019). However, P. polyporaeum has also been reported on Trichaptum abietinum, albeit much more rarely (Selva 2014). ...
Phaeocalicium polyporaeum is reported from Colorado for the first time, based on a specimen collected by the first two authors, in 2018, from the Sangre de Cristo Mountains. This individual was growing on Trichaptum abietinum and furthermore represents the first record of P. polyporaeum in western North American in over 30 years. We provide discussion on its geographical range as presently understood, along with other notes of interest.
... Given the high likelihood of rarity, and the high potential for significant site disturbance, this species warrants provincial conservation concern. The new discovery of this large macrolichen species in a relatively well-surveyed region also highlights the importance of continuous survey efforts to better understand the rare and threatened species in south-western Nova Scotia, and their status in Canada, North America, and globally (Atlantic Canada Conservation Data Centre 2017, Cameron & Toms 2016, Government of Canada 2017, McMullin 2012. ...
Parmotrema perforatum is a large macrolichen that is common in southeastern North America. We report the first Canadian records from Kejimkujik National Park and National Historic Site in Nova Scotia, Canada. The taxon was located during surveys of the nationally rare Atlantic Coastal Plain habitat in southern Nova Scotia where many disjunct species of vascular plants, bryophytes, and other lichens reach their northern limit in eastern North America.

Fifty-three lichens species belonging to 28 genera were recorded from the Halifax Public Gardens in Nova Scotia. A brief history of the gardens and of lichen recording in the city is presented, along with a commentary on the lichens found in this study. The results of this lichen survey are of particular interest as the lichen flora has not been previously documented and it provides a baseline for monitoring future changing patterns of pollution and climate. In addition, the Halifax Public Gardens are celebrating in 2017 the 150th anniversary of the opening of the gardens.
A survey of cyanolichen species occurring in Cananéia, Cardoso, Comprida and Ilhabela Islands of São Paulo State, Brazil, revealed the occurrence of sixteen species belonging to the genus Leptogium. The survey is based on literature review and on newly collected material. Two species (L. milligranum and L. sulcatum) are newly reported for Brazil and two others (L. atlanticum and L. denticulatum) for the studied islands, while L. azureum, L. cyanescens, L. isidiosellum and L. moluccanum were recollected by us. Descriptions for all insular species, along with an identification key are also presented.
An inventory of the lichens of Bruce Peninsula National Park and Fathom Five National Marine Park in the Georgian Bay area of southern Ontario was carried out by 30 lichenologists participating in the 2008 Tuckerman Workshop. A list of 370 species of lichens, related fungi and lichenicolous fungi was compiled, documenting that the parks are remarkably rich in lichens, including many rarities. Following the park inventory, an additional 21 lichens from Bruce County are listed based on the published literature and other recent collections. Twelve lichens, one related fungus and nine lichenicolous fungi are additions to the Canadian lichen flora: Acarospora moenium, Bagliettoa baldensis, Biatora ocelliformis, Caloplaca flavocitrina, Clavascidium umbrinum, Dermatocarpon dolomiticum, D. muhlenbergii, Heppia adglutinata, Lecania cuprea, Opegrapha mougeotii, Thelidium minutulum, Heteroplacidium compactum; Mycoglaena myricae; Capronia peltigerae, Lichenoconium erodens, Muellerella hospitans, M. ventosicola, Phaeopyxis punctum, Phoma cladoniicola, Plectocarpon cladoniae, Polycoccum minutulum, Tremella candelariellae. An additional 35 lichens, two related fungi, and 13 lichenicolous fungi are new for Ontario: Acarospora macrospora, Biatora chrysantha, B. turgidula, Biatorella hemisphaerica, Botryolepraria lesdainii, Buellia griseovirens, Caloplaca saxicola, C. subsoluta, Cladonia atlantica, Clauzadea monticola, Cliostomum leprosum, Diplotomma venustum, Enterographa zonata, Farnoldia hypocrita, Gyalecta foveolaris, Hymenelia heteromorpha, Lempholemma isidiodes, Lepraria caesiella, L. eburnea, Leptogium intermedium, Opegrapha rufescens, Placidium squamulosum, Porpidia contraponenda, P. macrocarpa f. nigrocruenta, P. soredizodes, P. superba, Pseudosagedia aenea, Psorotichia schaereri, Pycnora sorophora, Sagiolechia protuberans, Thelocarpon epibolum var. epithallinum, Trapeliopsis pseudogranulosa, Vezdaea acicularis, Violella fucata and Xylographa vitiligo; Epigloea pleiospora and Sarea difformis; Clypeococcum hypocenomycis, Cornutispora ciliaris, Lettauia cladoniicola, Lichenodiplis lecanorae, Marchandiomyces corallinus, Muellerella erratica, M. lichenicola, Nectriopsis parmeliae, Phoma cladoniicola, Pronectria robergei, Refractohilum peltigerae and Spirographa fusisporella. A total of 77 range extensions are presented, many of which are significant discoveries, but others of which represent the first Canadian records of species that have been found to be common and widespread in adjacent regions of the United States. With regard to lichens, the parks now constitute the best-studied area of their size in Ontario. Eiglera flavida is an additional report for Bruce County not collected on the workshop; it is also new for Ontario. Of the habitats visited in the park, the shoreline cliffs and adjoining forests at Halfway Log Dump are the most rich in species (223). Flowerpot Island was almost as diverse (196). Although somewhat less diverse, the alvars (with 149 species) also contained several remarkable records and a surprising number of species.
