Ten species of lichenicolous fungi on Collemataceae in the Iberian Peninsula are recorded. A new species, Pronectria pilosa, on Collema furfuraceum is proposed and three new records from the Iberian Peninsula are indicated, Endococcus pseudocarpus, Nectria brutia and Toninia leptogii. The known distribution of several treated species is enlarged no...

... leptogii , described from southern France (Aix-en-Provence) on Leptogium sp. (Dugui 1936), was overlooked by Timdal (1991) in his studies of the genus Toninia . Timdal (1991) fortuitously used the same epithet for a species of Toninia on Leptogium . When we studied material from Portugal we realized that Scutula leptogii and Toninia leptogii were the same, a conclusion previously reached by Diederich (2007). Dughi (1936) and Timdal (1991) reported it from three places in the French and Italian sides of the Mediterranean Sea, on Collema sp., Leptogium lichenoides and L. plicatile . Our contribution enlarges its known distribution with this record in Portugal ( Fig. 3 ), being the first one for the Iberian Peninsula. Specimen examined. P ORTUGAL .

Current control of scab and mildew of apple in the UK requires the routine application of fungicides at 7 – 14-day intervals to achieve the blemish-free fruit required by the market. Such practices are generally effective, but with increased public concern about pesticides and rising costs to the grower, they are now less acceptable. The use of dis...

... Identifying the above-mentioned fungi on lichens of the genus Collema we found that literature regarding these fungi is very scattered and the available keys to lichenicolous fungi are not very helpful, as several of the species have been described recently.

... The western Caucasian occurrences of some species extend their known range eastwards: e.g., 3000 km from the Iberian Peninsula in Pronectria pilosa (López de Silanes et al. 2009), more than 2000 km from the Alps or Italy in case of Cliostomum haematommatis, Endohyalina ericina, Leptogium hibernicum, etc. ), more than 1300 km from the East Aegean Islands, Greece for Buellia iberica (Sipman & Raus 2015) or more than 1000 km from the Carpathians Mts for Verrucaria hegetschweileri (Palice et al. 2006). Moreover, the range of Topelia jasonhurii, so far known only from its type locality in South Korea (Kondratyuk et al. 2013), was extended of ~ 7000 km. ...

We report on 659 epiphytic and epixylic species recorded from seven one-hectare plots established along an altitudinal gradient in a virgin forest of the Caucasus State Nature Biosphere Reserve. A total of 564 species are lichens, 61 are lichenicolous fungi and 34 are allied non- or facultatively lichenized fungi. one hundred forty – nine species (116 lichens, 17 lichenicolous and 16 saprophytic fungi) are new to the Northern Caucasus, including 133 species (104 lichens, 15 lichenicolous and 14 saprophytic fungi) that are new to the Caucasus Mountains. Fifty species are reported from Russia for the first time: 37 lichens (Andreiomyces obtusaticus, Bacidina mendax, Biatora aegrefaciens, B. bacidioides, B. chrysanthoides, Biatorella dryophila, Buellia iberica, Cliostomum haematommatis, Endohyalina ericina, Fellhanera christiansenii, Gyalidea minuta, Japewia aliphatica, Lecanora barkmaniana, L. subravida, Lecidea strasseri, Leptogium hibernicum, Lithothelium hyalosporum, L. phaeosporum, L. septemseptatum, Loxospora cristinae, Melanelixia epilosa, Micarea nowakii, M. perparvula, Opegrapha trochodes, Orcularia insperata, Parvoplaca servitiana, Phylloblastia inexpectata, Psoroglaena stigonemoides, Ptychographa xylographoides, Ramonia dictyospora, R. luteola, Rinodina polysporoides, Thelopsis flaveola, Topelia jasonhurii, Verrucaria hegetschweileri, Wadeana minuta, Waynea giraltiae), nine lichenicolous fungi (Arthonia vorsoeensis, Didymocyrtis melanelixiae, Epigloea urosperma, Muellerella polyspora, Phacographa zwackhii, Pronectria pilosa, Rhymbocarpus pubescens, Taeniolella friesii, Unguiculariopsis acrocordiae) and four nonlichenized saprophytic fungi (Cyrtidula major, Karschia cezannei, Kirschsteiniothelia recessa, Pseudotryblidium neesii). The ratio of macrolichens ranges between 26.5 – 40 % and rises with elevation. Lichens with a trentepohlioid photobiont are represented by 15 –51 species per plot and their species richness decreases with elevation. The species richness of cyanolichens is substantial in all plots (15 –28 species) reflecting a negligible effect of acidification/air pollution. Low species richness and low abundances of nitrophilous species indicate insignificant uptake of nitrogen emissions. Beech and fir are the most preferred phorophytes, but the vast majority of lichen species have low substrate specificity. Species richness per plots ranged between 236 and 379. The highest richness was found in a plot outside the Caucasian Reserve and we recommend its inclusion into the protected area.

110 records of lichenicolous fungi are reported from Andorra, Portugal and Spain, (mostly the latter country). One genus and four species are described as new to science: Phaeospora everniae on Evernia prunastri, Polycoccum ibericum on Rinodina sp., Zwackhiomacromyces constrictocarpus gen. et. sp. nov. on Megalospora, and Zwackhiomyces melanohaleae on Melanohalea exasperata. Pronectria septemseptata, is combined into the genus Xenonectriella as X. septemseptata (Etayo) Etayo & van den Boom. Lichenostigma canariense and Sarcopyrenia bacillosa are newly reported for Europe. Further new records for mainland Spain are Neolamya peltigerae, Niesslia cladoniicola, Obryzum corniculatum, Phacopsis fusca, Phoma grumantiana, Polycoccum umbilicariae, Sclerococcum leuckertii, Sphaerellothecium atryneae, Stigmidium cerinae, S. ramalinae and Taeniolella beschiana.

... A recent monograph of Bionectriaceae (Rossman et al. 1999) increased the number of species in Pronectria to 18. However, many further species have been described afterwards (Brackel & Etayo 2010, Etayo 2001, 2002, Etayo & Sancho 2008, Etayo & Triebel 2010, Lopez de Silaneset al. 2009, Motiejūnaitė & Kukwa 2008, Zhurbenko et al. 2005, Zhurbenko 2007, Zhurbenko 2009); most of them are lichenicolous on conspicuous epiphytic and terricolous macrolichens. Only four species, P. dealbans (Etayo & Breuss 1996), P. dillmaniae (Zhurbenko et al. 2005), P. lecideicola (Zhurbenko 2009), P. terrestris (Lowen & Diederich 1990), and Pronectria verrucariae (Lowen 1990) are known from crustose lichens. ...

Three new species of Bionectriaceae are described; (1) Pronectria algicola grows within Gloeocystis-like algal crusts with Steinia geophana and Sarcosagium campestre; (2) P. caloplacae is lichenicolous on areoles of Caloplaca austrocitrina; (3) P. diplococca grows in squamules of Collema spp. The latter species has early dissolving asci and 1-septate ascospores disintegrating into simple globose mature ascospore fragments. Fragmentation of ascospores appears in three additional species of Pronectria. A key to the known Pronectria species is provided.

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.
