... The appearance of the catalogue in 2005 definitely stimulated research of both Bulgarian and foreign lichenologists on the study of lichenized fungi in Bulgaria. During this period, numerous papers, related to lichenized or lichenicolous fungi in Bulgaria, or taxonomic treatments citing specimens from Bulgaria have been published: Aguirre-Hudson et al.

A checklist of all taxa of lichenized and lichenicolous fungi recorded from Bulgaria is presented. The lichen biota as currently known includes 1137 taxa (1115 species, 5 subspecies, and 17 varieties) of lichenized fungi, 46 species of lichenicolous fungi, and 28 non-lichenized fungi traditionally included in lichenological literature. Lepra corallina is reported for the first time from Bulgaria. An index of synonyms based on literature records from Bulgaria is appended. It includes 1761 infrageneric names.
... Sporastatia is morphologically characterized by a crustose, areolate to effigurate placodioid thallus surrounded by a distinct black prothallus, lecideine, immersed apothecia with a rough or wrinkled disc, and 100-200-spored asci with hyaline, simple, ellipsoid to globose ascospores. Several species are hosts for lichenicolous fungi or lichens, especially the species Rhizocarpon pusillum Runemark, R. asiaticum Poelt and Miriquidica invadens Hafellner et al. (Poelt 1990;Rambold & Triebel 1992;Hafellner et al. 2014). ...
Sporastatia crassulata Yakovchenko & Davydov sp. nov. is described and a phylogenetic analysis (mtSSU) is presented, confirming its distinctness and indicating a sister relationship with S . testudinea . The species is unique among Sporastatia species in having a distinctly squamulose, thick, uneven thallus composed of convex, rounded squamules irregularly ascending in the central part of the thallus. The new combination Sporastatia karakorina (Poelt & Obermayer) Davydov & Yakovchenko is proposed. The type specimen of S . subasiatica was examined. A key to the six species of Sporastatia is given. Mountainous Central Asia appears to be the centre of species diversity and endemism for Sporastatia .
... Likewise, May suggested that the thick thallus of O. ventosa might easily hide the remnants of long overgrown lichens to account for the arising of atranorin and additional depsidones in some specimens 7 . As such, the occurrence of host-synthesized substances was recently observed in the lichenicolous lichen Miriquidica invadens that accumulates 5-O-methylhiascic acid from the parasitized Sporastatia polyspora 53 . Regarding our samples, miriquidic acid might stem from overgrown species containing this depside which are described in both sampling sites such as the squamulose Miriquidica garovaglii. ...
Imaging mass spectrometry techniques have become a powerful strategy to assess the spatial distribution of metabolites in biological systems. Based on auto-ionisability of lichen metabolites using LDI-MS, we herein image the distribution of major secondary metabolites (specialized metabolites) from the lichen Ophioparma ventosa by LDI-MSI (Mass Spectrometry Imaging). Such technologies offer tremendous opportunities to discuss the role of natural products through spatial mapping, their distribution patterns being consistent with previous chemical ecology reports. A special attention was dedicated to miriquidic acid, an unexpected molecule we first reported in Ophioparma ventosa. The analytical strategy presented herein offers new perspectives to access the sharp distribution of lichen metabolites from regular razor blade-sectioned slices.
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.
Altogether 56 species of lichenicolous fungi – most of them non-lichenized, a few lichenized – are recorded from various countries in south-eastern Europe, of which 20 species are reported for the first time from the Balkan Peninsula. The new records for individual countries are: Arthonia molendoi and Lichenoconium pyxidatae for Albania; Arthonia varians, Biatoropsis usnearum, Lichenosticta alcicornaria, and Tremella hypogymniae for Bosnia and Herzegovina; Arthonia molendoi, Endococcus perpusillus, Lichenostigma chlaroterae, Miriquidica intrudens, Muellerella pygmaea, Plectocarpon encausticum, Polycoccum pulvinatum, and Stigmidium congestum for Bulgaria; Abrothallus bertianus, Abrothallus parmeliarum, Lichenoconium usneae, and Nesolechia oxyspora for Croatia; Arthonia phaeophysciae, Arthophacopsis parmeliarum, Cercidospora xanthoriae, Heterocephalacria physciacearum, Lichenochora obscuroides, Lichenostigma maureri, Lichenothelia rugosa, Nectriopsis lecanodes, Plectocarpon scrobiculatae,
Polycoccum pulvinatum, Stigmidium squamariae, Stigmidium xanthoparmeliarum, Toninia plumbina, Tremella christiansenii, Unguiculariopsis lettaui, Tremella ramalinae, and Unguiculariopsis thallophila for Greece; Carbonea aggregantula, Carbonea supersparsa, Cercidospora epipolytropa, Echinothecium reticulatum, Endohyalina insularis, Lichenoconium pyxidatae, Lichenosticta alcicornaria, Miriquidica invadens, Opegrapha pulvinata, Sclerococcum montagnei, and Sphaerellothecium cladoniae for Kosovo; Arthonia apotheciorum, Arthonia caerulescens, Arthonia epiphyscia, Arthonia protoparmeliopseos, Lichenochora obscuroides, Lichenosticta alcicornaria, Lichenothelia rugosa, Miriquidica intrudens, Muellerella erratica, Polycoccum pulvinatum, Skyttea tephromelarum, Sphaerellothecium parmeliae,
Sphinctrina turbinata, Tetramelas pulverulentus, and Unguiculariopsis thallophila for Macedonia; Arthonia
apotheciorum, Cercidospora macrospora, Dactylospora lobariella, Plectocarpon scrobiculatae, Sclerococcum serusiauxii, Stigmidium gyrophorarum, Tremella phaeophysciae, and Tremella ramalinae for Montenegro; Arthonia varians and Muellerella pygmaea for Serbia. Additionally, Arthonia phaeophysciae is reported as new to Slovenia.
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 genus level, arranged phylogenetically according to published classifications. For each genus, all known lichenicolous taxa (obligately lichenicolous taxa, lichenicolous lichens, and facultatively lichenicolous taxa) are listed, along with information about types, synonyms, pertinent literature and whether or not molecular data are available for any of the listed species. The number of accepted lichenicolous fungi is now 2319, with 2000 obligately lichenicolous species, subspecies or varieties, 257 lichenicolous lichens and 62 facultatively lichenicolous taxa. These species are found in 10 different classes of Fungi (Ascomycota and Basidiomycota), 55 orders, 115 families and 397 genera. The 2319 total taxa is an increase from the 1559 total species reported in the last published catalogue in 2003, and a larger number than the approximately 1800 reported in the most recent online checklist (www.lichenicolous.net) posted in January 2018. Of the total number of taxa, 2219 (96%) are ascomycetes and 100 (4%) are basidiomycetes. Of the 397 genera containing lichenicolous species, c. 50% (198) are entirely lichenicolous. In addition, six families (Abrothallaceae, Adelococcaceae, Cyphobasidiaceae, Obryzaceae, Polycoccaceae, Sarcopyreniaceae) and two orders (Abrothallales, Cyphobasidiales) are entirely lichenicolous. Sequence information is available for lichenicolous species in 128 (32%) of the 397 genera containing lichenicolous species, and in 56 (28%) of the 198 entirely lichenicolous genera. Many species are known from only one host lichen, but it is likely that broader host ecologies will be discovered as new sequence information is obtained from ongoing microbiome studies. Phaeopyxis Rambold & Triebel is considered as a new synonym of Bachmanniomyces D.Hawksw., resulting in five new combinations B. australis (Rambold & Triebel) Diederich & Pino-Bodas (≡ P. australis), B. carniolicus (Arnold) Diederich & Pino-Bodas (≡ Biatora carniolica), B. muscigenae (Alstrup & E.S.Hansen) Diederich & Pino-Bodas (≡ P. muscigenae), B. punctum (A.Massal.) Diederich & Pino-Bodas (≡ Nesolechia punctum) and B. varius (Coppins, Rambold & Triebel) Diederich & Pino-Bodas (≡ P. varia). As a consequence of a phylogenetic analysis including new sequences, Dactylospora Körb. is regarded as a new synonym of Sclerococcum Fr.: Fr., resulting in one new name (S. acarosporicola Ertz & Diederich) and 46 new combinations. Sclerococcaceae Réblová, Unter. & W.Gams is considered as a new synonym of Dactylosporaceae Bellem. & Hafellner. The new Sclerococcum ophthalmizae Coppins is described. Sclerophyton occidentale Herre is lectotypified on the lichenicolous fungus present in the type specimen and becomes a younger synonym of Sclerococcum parasiticum. A replacement name is Arthonia polydactylonis Diederich & Ertz (≡ A. ceracea). Further new combinations are Abrothallus lobariae (Diederich & Etayo) Diederich & Ertz (≡ Phoma lobariae), A. psoromatis (Zhurb. & U. Braun) Diederich & Zhurb. (≡ P. psoromatis), Asteroglobulus pyramidalis (Etayo) Diederich (≡ Cornutispora pyramidalis), Didymocyrtis grumantiana (Zhurb. & Diederich) Zhurb. & Diederich (≡ Phoma grumantiana), Epithamnolia atrolazulina (Etayo) Diederich (≡ Hainesia atrolazulina), Gyalolechia epiplacynthium (Etayo) Diederich (≡ Fulgensia epiplacynthium), Nesolechia doerfeltii (Alstrup & P.Scholz) Diederich (≡ Phacopsis doerfeltii), N. falcispora (Triebel & Rambold) Diederich (≡ P. falcispora), N. oxyspora var. fusca (Triebel & Rambold) Diederich (≡ P. oxyspora var. fusca), Preussia peltigerae (Brackel) Diederich (≡ Sporormiella peltigerae), Scutula curvispora (D.Hawksw. & Miadl.) Diederich (≡ Libertiella curvispora), S. didymospora (D.Hawksw. & Miadl.) Diederich (≡ L. didymospora), Stigmidium haesitans (Nyl.) Diederich (≡ Verrucaria haesitans), and S. parvum (Henssen) Diederich (≡ Pharcidia parvum). © 2018 by The American Bryological and Lichenological Society, Inc.
