... It is obvious that since the early 19 th century, agriculture, population growth, climate change, urban development, anthropogenic fires, fragmentation of natural habitats, reduction of chaparral and California prairie, and other developments have altered the environment in southern California. These rapid changes can have a devastating effect on slow-growing lichens in southern California's Mediterranean climate (Knudsen 2010;Knudsen & Kocourková 2015;Knudsen et al. 2017). The Channel Islands, despite grazing, and military and recreational use, have preserved approximately one third of the lichens that have been reported in California (Tucker 2014). ...

Ramalina sarahae is described as new to science and considered to be closely related to the widespread R. lacera. It has a cortex without chondroid strands but differs from R. lacera in having a densely caespitose thallus of thin branches with only pseudocyphellae. The species is considered to be naturally rare, occurring in a small area of San Miguel Island in southern California, and on San Nicolas Island. Currently eight species of Ramalina are known from the Channel Islands.

New data on lichen flora of the Stavropol Territory (Central Caucasus) are provided. Study of four protected natural areas of the Stavropol Territory — «Lermontova Skala» and «Mashuk Mountain» natural monuments, and «Beshtaugorskiy» and «Malyy Essentuchok» sanctuaries resulted in finding of 279 species: 258 species of lichens, 18 species of lichenicolous fungi and 3 species of non-lichenized saprobic fungi. Among them Bacidia notarisiana, Buelliella minimula, Pertusaria pluripuncta, Protoparmelia memnonia, Psorotichia vermiculata, Rebentischia massalongii are new for Russia, 23 species are new for Caucasus, 25 species for the North Caucasus, 164 species for the Central Caucasus and 225 species are new for the Stavropol Territory.
... Lecanora compallens seems to be more related to four, fertile, mostly esorediate species (except L. orosthea, which is sorediate; see zduńczyk & Kukwa 2014b). However, their relationships were neither strongly supported in our analyses ( Fig. 1) nor in Pérez-Ortega et al. (2010) and Knudsen et al. (2017). ...

Lecanora stainislai is characterized by a very thin sorediate thallus, forming a more or less continuous layer of soredia and by the production of usnic acid and zeorin. It usually grows on smooth bark of trees in forests and is known from the Czech Republic, Norway, Poland, Russia, Ukraine and western North America (Canada, USA). It is chemically similar to the sorediate L. compallens, which however has an episubstratal thallus in non-sorediate parts and often delimited soralia. They have also different phylogenetic positions within the L. symmicta group. Moreover, based on molecular marker analysis the position of L. expallens is resolved within this group for the first time.

The study is based on a comprehensive evaluation of 87 publications concerning reports from Afghanistan and a critical revision of herbarium specimens. Two hundred and thirty eight taxa (230 species with 8 varieties) of lichenized fungi, and 16 species of lichenicolous fungi are listed with their citations or localities in the case of new records for the country or for provinces. New for Afghanistan are Acarospora bicolor, A. interrupta, Caloplaca monacensis, C. stillicidiorum var. muscorum, Collema furfuraceum, Endocarpon pusillum, Gloeoheppia turgida, Gyalolechia bracteata, Heteroplacidium fusculum, Lecanora horiza, Lecidea laboriosa, Melanohalea elegantula, Myriolecis semipallida, Peltula bolanderi, P. obscurans var. obscurans, P. obscurans var. deserticola, P. polyspora, P. radicata, Physconia americana, P. perisidiosa, Phaeophyscia hirsuta, Placidium pilosellum, P. rufescens, Sarcogyne praetermissa, S. pusilla, S. urceolata, Scytinium fragrans, Staurothele areolata, Umbilicaria virginis, Xalocoa ocellata, Xanthoparmelia neodelisei, and the lichenicolous fungus Acarospora subfuscescens.

The present work lists 2051 lichens, 520 lichenicolous and 55 allied fungi, altogether 2626 taxa and their synonyms, whose occurrence has been reported from the territory of the Federal Republic of Germany by the end of 2021. The list is based on the last species list published in 2011 and comprises 326 new records as well as 428 nomenclatural changes published in 253 publications between 2012 and 2021. The list also includes 114 taxa, mostly from the Verrucariaceae, whose status is still considered problematic.

Molecular phylogenetic analyses of newly generated sequences from North American material belonging to the Acarospora glaucocarpa group recovered these sequences in a previously unrecognized clade sister to European members of the group. North American material is recognized as a distinct clade, named the ‘‘Sarcogyne canadensis–wheeleri clade,’’ and its constituent species are described. Four new calciphytes from North America are described from the clade: S. alcesensis, S. bernardinensis, S. convexa and S. wheeleri. Sarcogyne wheeleri is the taxon North American lichenologists usually identified as A. glaucocarpa. Acarospora canadensis was recovered in the clade and is revised and transferred to Sarcogyne. A neotype is designated for A. glaucocarpa. We transfer S. bolleana, a rare species described from Texas, to Acarospora and do not consider it a synonym of S. arenosa. We do not recognize A. glaucocarpa s.str. as occurring in continental North America. We supply a key to the S. canadensis-wheeleri clade. Currently we report 102 species of Acarosporaceae from North America.
