Abstract and Figures

600 lichens and 82 lichenicolous and allied fungi have been recorded from Eagle Hill in Steuben, ME, and its vicinity over the past 25 years, mainly as a consequence of courses and research centered upon the Eagle Hill Institute (formerly the Humboldt Field Research Institute). Of the 682 taxa listed, 331 have been recorded within the Institute's boundary, of which 27 were not found elsewhere in the vicinity; a further 66 taxa recorded but lacking voucher material are listed. One lichen, Lambiella fuscosora, and 7 lichenicolous fungi, Cornutispora pyramidalis, Epicladonia stenospora, Monodictys epilepraria, Muellerella polyspora, Taeniolella cladinicola, and Tremella coppinsii, are additional to the North American checklist; Lambiella fuscosora and Cornutispora pyramidalis are also recorded as new for Canada. Five lichens, Alyxoria ochrocheila, Cladonia albonigra, Ephebe solida, Myriolecis schofieldii, and Parmotrema stuppeum, are new for Maine. Notes on new records and interesting taxa are provided.

Abstract - 600 lichens and 82 lichenicolous and allied fungi have been recorded from Eagle
Hill in Steuben, ME, and its vicinity over the past 25 years, mainly as a consequence of
courses and research centered upon the Eagle Hill Institute (formerly the Humboldt Field
Research Institute). Of the 682 taxa listed, 331 have been recorded within the Institute’s
boundary, of which 27 were not found elsewhere in the vicinity; a further 66 taxa recorded
but lacking voucher material are listed. One lichen, Lambiella fuscosora, and 7 lichenico-
lous fungi, Cornutispora pyramidalis, Epicladonia stenospora, Monodictys epilepraria,
Muellerella polyspora, Taeniolella cladinicola, and Tremella coppinsii, are additional to the
North American checklist; Lambiella fuscosora and Cornutispora pyramidalis are also re-
corded as new for Canada. Five lichens, Alyxoria ochrocheila, Cladonia albonigra, Ephebe

Introduction
The Eagle Hill Research Institute (formerly the Humboldt Field Research Insti-
tute), a non-prot educational center in Steuben, ME, is situated on the Dyer Neck
Peninsula on the coast of Maine, about 120 km from the Canadian border and 50 km
northeast of the main section of Acadia National Park on Mount Desert Island, ME.
The Institute’s land, comprising a large reserve area (60 ha) of essentially blueberry
barrens and Acadian forest, extends to the ocean on its eastern side and to Dyer Bay
Road on the west, and includes Eagle Hill (elev. 70 m). Since 1987, the Institute
has operated as a natural history eld station offering week-long seminars on a
wide range of topics during the summer, including several courses on lichens each
year. Topics have included lichen parasites, calicioid lichens, ground-inhabiting
lichens, lecideoid lichens, sterile crustose lichens, Rhizocarpon and allied genera,
Cladonia, and Usnea.
Due to the number and variety of courses undertaken in the past 2 decades,
Eagle Hill and it vicinity is one of the most thoroughly studied areas in eastern
North America with regard to its natural history, particularly its lichen ora. The
participants on the lichen courses at the Institute can study species on the Eagle

Hill Reserve, where the deciduous trees have examples of the charismatic Lobarion
community, as well as other uncommon lichens that occur on the top of Eagle Hill
such as fertile Psilolechia lucida on rocks, and Hypotrachyna catawbiensis and
Pseudevernia cladonia on conifer branches. Areas reachable by car within about 1
hour are visited regularly to study the lichens as well as a few more distant sites of
particular interest, e.g., Callahan and Cutler. Nearby habitats that have been visited
include cemeteries at Steuben, Millbridge, Franklin and Columbia Falls, where we
have observed a rich ora on the gravestones, as well as terricolous species such as
Cetraria arenaria and many species of Cladonia, Stereocaulon, and Peltigera. The
Blackwoods Road (Route 182) that runs from Franklin to Cherryeld has roadside
banks, again with a rich ora of Cladonia species, and huge rocks that are cov-
ered with very large thalli of Lasallia papulosa, Umbilicaria mammulata, and U.
muhlenbergii. High-elevation habitats have also been examined on Lead Mountain
(elev. 450 m), Tunk Mountain (353 m), Black Mountain (333 m) and Catherine
Mountain (293 m), as have streamside rocks along the Narraguagus River that sup-
port Dermatocarpon luridum and Placynthium abellosum. Lead Mountain at the
northern end of route 193 is notable for its rich ora of pyrenolichens and Biatora
species, and Tunk Mountain, Black Mountain, and Catherine Mountain have a di-
verse lichen ora on the trees and rocks. The various peninsulas adjacent to Dyer
Bay Neck provide other lichen-rich woodlands, such as those around Corea and on
Petit Manan, as well as stretches of lichen-covered maritime (mostly granite) rocks.
Mud is quite frequently found coating the rocks around inlets, but elsewhere the
lichens of intertidal rocks are often covered with a variety of lichens, e.g., abundant
Wahlenbergiella mucosa, Hydropunctaria maura, and Collemopsidium halodytes
and some rarities such as Wahlenbergiella striatula, Verrucaria degelii, and V. ha-
lizoa. There are a series of off-lying islands along the Maine coast that have been
studied, some connected by causeways like Great Wass Island and others that can be
reached only by boat and with the permission of the owners, including Roque Island
which has been visited on a number of occasions by lichen classes. The latter is a
relatively large and unspoiled island with a rich lichen ora: for example, Sphae-
rophorus globosus is to be found on old coniferous trees, while the Fagus (beech)
forest supports a rich Lobarion community. The diversity of habitats within easy
reach of the Eagle Hill Research Institute (Fig. 1) is the reason for the continued
success of lichen courses there and the large number of lichens that have now been
recorded in the area as listed below.
Clearly there has been considerable interest in the lichens of Maine over many
years as reected in the distribution data cited in Fink (1935). Although the original
records (e.g., those of Harvey 1894, 1896; Merrill 1913, 1914; Tuckerman 1882,
1888) as well as the studies undertaken over the following 3 decades (e.g., Degelius
1940) have not been investigated in detail by us, there appear to be no published
records of lichens from the Eagle Hill vicinity for this period. However, recent pub-
lished taxonomic accounts include records from this area (e.g., Clerc 2011, Hinds
and Hinds 2007, Lendemer et al. 2016). The unpublished doctoral thesis by Sul-
livan (1996) and the more recent study by Barton et al. (2014) provide information

on the lichen ora of Acadia National Park on Mount Desert Island, some 80 km by
road from Eagle Hill, and several important surveys of serpentine-rich localities
just southwest of Mount Desert Island (Harris et al. 2007, Medeiros et al. 2014, Ra-
jakaruna et al. 2011) have also added to our knowledge of the lichens of the region.
The records from Acadia National Park are not included in the current checklist,
since data are available from other sources and, due to the distance from Eagle Hill
and restrictions on collecting, these areas are not visited regularly by participants in
the Institute’s courses. Fundy National Park in New Brunswick, some 350 km to the
north-east, has also been well studied (Gowan and Brodo 1988). Brodo et al.’s (2001)
Lichens of North America and its recent supplement (Brodo 2016), McMullin and
Anderson’s (2015) Common Lichens of Northeastern North America, and Hinds
and Hinds’ (2007) Macrolichens of New England are all valuable resources for the
identication of lichen collections made in and around the Eagle Hill Institute.
Eagle Hill Institute Lichen Herbarium
Course instructors and attendees have contributed specimens to the Institute’s
Lichen Herbarium, which has been actively curated over the last decade. To date,
~680 taxa have been collected by at least 67 individuals (major collectors are
Figure 1. Map of the Eagle Hill Institute and Reserve (starred), Steuben, ME, and some of
the surrounding areas available for the study of lichens. Frequently visited areas include
those along Route 182 and Route 193 as far north as Lead Mountain (not shown), along
with the various peninsulas, Great Wass Island, and Roque Island. Mount Desert Island is
partly shown in the lower left corner, but records from there (Acadia National Park) are not
included in the list.

Notes on New Records and Some Interesting Taxa
Alyxoria ochrocheila
This record represents a surprising disjunction from the species’ main distribu-
tion range in Mexico and along the southwestern coast of the US (Ertz and Egea
2007), but the species was reported from Cape Breton Island by Selva et al. (2004)
(vouchers listed in CNALH 2017 sub Opegrapha ochrocheila), and there are 2

veried records from New Brunswick reported in CNALH (2017) from the New
Brunswick Museum [NBM] (S. Clayden, New Brunswick Museum, St. John, NB,
Canada, pers. comm.). When present, the orange pruina of the ascomatal margins
(reacting KOH+ purple) is distinctive and diagnostic when combined with the
4-celled spores and long, 1–3 septate conidia. The Eagle Hill voucher lacks any
white pruina on the ascomatal disk (A. Fryday, Herbarium, Michigan State Univer-
sity, East Lansing, MI, pers. comm.), a feature of the very similar Alyxoria bicolor
(R.C. Harris & Lendemer) Ertz & Tehler, recently described from Pennsylvania
(Harris and Lendemer 2005). (Maine, Washington County, Steuben, Eagle Hill
Institute, Blue trail, 44.4605°N, 67.9265°W, on Betula alleghaniensis, A. Fryday
10503, 17 June 2013 [MSC]).
Bryoria kockiana
Based on molecular studies of mainly northwestern material, Velmala et al. (2014)
concluded that North American non-sorediate specimens of Bryoria containing
psoromic acid in the thallus and formerly called B. implexa (Hoffm.) Brodo & D.
Hawksw. belong to a North American endemic species that they named B. kockiana.
For the present, we are assuming that northeastern specimens belong to the same
species and not the European B. implexa s. str., which is often sorediate and has
conspicuous white pseudocyphellae. In North America, psoromic acid-containing
specimens are never sorediate and the pseudocyphellae are less conspicuous.
Chaenotheca balsamconensis
This small stubble lichen, which grows on a common bracket fungus (Trichap-
tum abietinum) on conifers, has only recently been described (Allen and McMullin
2015). It is distinguished by its smooth spores and K+ red stalks and apparently
has an Appalachian–Great Lakes distribution, with 1 report from British Columbia.
Phaeocalicium polyporaeum (Nyl.) Tibell grows on a similar substrate (Trichaptum
biforme, restricted to hardwoods) and has the same general appearance but is even
smaller; it also has ellipsoid, 2-celled spores.
Cladonia albonigra
This species, described from the Pacic Northwest (Brodo and Ahti 1996), is
an oceanic coastal lichen. Several specimens from New Brunswick are listed in
CNALH (2017) based on R.C. Harris collections deposited in NY. It is new to
Maine and New England. (Canada, New Brunswick, Charlotte County, Lepreau
Parish, New River Beach Provincial Park, N end of Park, along New River just S of
NB780 crossing, gravelly berm on roadside, 45.17556°N 66.54333°W, R.C. Harris
56734, 1 May 2011 [NY]).
Cornutispora pyramidalis
This species, a parasite of Parmeliaceous foliose lichens, described from Spain
and France (Etayo 2010), is new for North America. The Maine specimen was
found growing on Parmelia squarrosa. Its triangular conidia resemble those of
Cornutispora triangularis Etayo & Diederich, a parasite of Pertusaria species

(Etayo and Diederich 1995), but are much smaller (4–5 μm vs. 11–17 μm from one
apex to another in C. triangularis). There are also specimens of C. pyramidalis in
NY from Alabama, Connecticut, and West Virginia, as well as one from Parc Na-
tional de la Parc Gaspésie, QC, Canada. (Maine. Washington County: Cutler, Cutler
Public Reserve Land, Coastal Trail, R.C. Harris 54639, 4 July 2008 [NY]).
Ephebe solida
This species, a rare lichen throughout its range, was previously unrecorded
from Maine. In addition to the excellent description in Hinds and Hinds (2007),
we can add that the thick branches of E. solida (up to 260 µm in diam.) are solidly
pseudoparenchymatous. Other species have branches up to 150 µm in diam. and
have elongated cells in the center. (Maine, Washington County: 6.7 km northwest of
Cherryeld, at the end of Sprague Falls Road. Rocks along the Narraguagus River.
44°38'42"N, 67°59'39"W, elev. 32 m. I.M. Brodo 33436, 11 July 2016 [CANL]).
Epicladonia stenospora
This species, new for the North American list, was found growing on Cladonia
ochrochlora in a conifer forest. The conidia are 7.2–(8.1)–9 x 3.3–(3.9)–4.6 µm,
somewhat broader than those described by Hawksworth (1981). Other specimens
in NY are from Rockport, ME, as well as Tennessee and South Carolina. (Maine,
Washington County: Beals, Great Wass Island Preserve. R C. Harris 57524, 29 June
2012 [NY]).
Heterodermia neglecta
Most, if not all, of the northeastern material named as H. obscurata (Nyl.) Tre-
vis. because of a spotty orange lower surface, or H. japonica (M. Satô) Swinscow
& Krog (syn. H. propagulifera (Vain.) J.P. Dey) due to frequent production of
norstictic acid, has turned out to be the recently described H. neglecta (Lendemer
et al. 2007). Rather than having a uniformly orange lower surface as seen in H. ob-
scurata, the pigmentation of H. neglecta is limited to a few lobe tips. In addition,
most thalli contain norstictic acid (K+ red medulla); H. obscurata s. str. lacks that
compound and is southeastern. All 3 of the above taxa are discussed fully by Len-
demer et al. (2007).
Laeviomyces pertusariicola (syn. Lichenodiplis pertusariicola (Nyl.) Diederich)
Although Esslinger (2016) lists this name (under Lichenodiplis) as an “in-
correct record” based on Diederich (2003), the latter only contains a note on
its reclassification into the genus Laeviomyces. It should therefore be reinsta-
ted in the North American list. Its retention in Laeviomyces was supported by
Zhurbenko and Otte (2012).
Lambiella fuscosora (syn. Rimularia fuscosora Muhr & Tønsberg)
This species is new to North America and also to Ontario, Canada, as well as
the Eagle Hill area. Both specimens are sterile, so the determinations are tentative.
They are paler than the isotype, and the soralia are not as discrete, but they do have

some of the distinctive and diagnostic brown corticate soredia on the edges of the
soralia, which, however, contain mostly pale soredia. L. fuscosora is the only sore-
diate Lambiella on bark, and it contains norstictic acid alone, agreeing with our
results from thin-layer chromatography. This characteristic distinguishes it from
Buellia griseovirens, which contains atranorin as well as norstictic acid. The thal-
lus is brownish, especially noticeable on the Ontario specimen, which is on Betula
papyrifera, and agrees with the description (Muhr and Tønsberg 1989, Tønsberg
1992). Phlytis argena is a similar lichen when sterile, but it has a white thallus and
yellowish white soredia. (Maine, Hancock County: Black Mountain trail, just south

S.D. Sharnoff 1118.06, 14 July 1993 [CANL]).
Lecanora chlarotera vs. L. rugosella and L. subrugosa vs. L. argentata
The North American species centered around L. chlarotera are in need of revi-
sion; for example, recent studies have supported the widespread opinion among
European lichenologists that L. rugosella is only a rugose form of L. chlarotera
(see especially Malíček 2014). The L. rugosella of North American authors appears
to be morphologically and chemically distinct, and preliminary genetic studies
support the conclusion that it may be different (J. Malíček, Academy of Sciences,
Institute of Botany, Prague, Czech Republic, unpubl. data); we are therefore list-
ing them both from Eagle Hill. On the other hand, we are tentatively accepting the
synonymy of L. subrugosa and L. argentata as suggested by Malíček (2014) despite
the fact that gangaleoidin appears to be almost constant in European specimens,
and North American specimens contain only roccellic acid (Brodo 1984, Malíček
2014). More work is clearly needed here as well.
Menegazzia subsimilis
Both M. subsimilis and M. terebrata (Hoffm.) A. Massal. are known from New
England (Hinds and Hinds 2007) and Maritime Canada (unpublished Canadian
checklist in CANL), but only the former has so far been discovered in the Eagle
Hill area. Their distinctions are clearly described by Hinds and Hinds (2007) and
Brodo et al. (2001).
Monodictys epilepraria
This species, a new report for North America, was previously known only from
central Europe, Scotland, and Sweden (Kukwa and Diederich 2005). There are
unpublished records in NY from Pennsylvania, Connecticut, North Carolina, and
Michigan, and it is probably widespread at least in eastern North America (NYBG
2017). It produces brown muriform conidia over many species of Lepraria. (Maine,
Washington County: Steuben, Wilderness Shores, Dyer Neck, R.C. Harris 54762, 9
July 2008 [NY]).

Muellerella polyspora
This species is new for North America and is among those in the genus with
non-septate spores, similar to M. hospitans Stizenb. (Ihlen & Wedin 2008). (Maine,
Washington County: Roque Island, 44°35'N, 67°32'W, open pasture with Acer,
Fagus, and Betula alleghaniensis, parasitic on Arthonia cf. radiata, I.M. Brodo
32932, 2 June 2011 [CANL]).
Mycoblastus afnis and M. alpinus
These species are synonymized by some (e.g., Brodo 2016) and kept sepa-
rate by others (e.g., Stenroos et al. 2016); so far, genetic results are inconclusive
(Spribille et al. 2011). The soralia of M. alpinus are more yellowish and the asci
are single-spored, compared to white soralia and 2-spored asci in M. afnis s. str.
Both morphotypes have been reported in the Eagle Hill region, but the voucher in
NY represents M. alpinus s. str.
Mycoblastus sanguinarioides
Recent genetic work on M. sanguinarius (L.) Norman by Spribille et al. (2011)
has revealed that what was previously thought to be an easily identied pan-boreal
lichen consists of at least 2 and probably more species. The species represented in the
Eagle Hill area, M. sanguinarioides, is one of these and is more common in the north-
east than M. sanguinarius s. str. It contains tiny crystals in the hymenium that are
birefringent in polarized light, and it produces rangiformic acid, rarely accompanied
by bourgeanic acid. Mycoblastus sanguinarius s. str. lacks hymenial crystals and ran-
giformic acid, producing instead bourgeanic acid in almost all specimens tested.
Myriolecis cf. schoeldii
This species is a fairly frequent lichen on maritime rocks from Washington to
Alaska, but it is very rare on eastern shores. It was recorded from Fundy National
Park in New Brunswick (Brodo 2010), but appears to be new for Maine and New
England. The voucher is not entirely typical, and so its nal conrmation should
await additional collections. (Maine, Washington County: McClellan Park, 7 km
S of Millbridge, 44°29'06"N, 67°51'09"W, rocky headlands and boulder beach at
shore, I.M. Brodo 32787, 26 Aug. 2010 [CANL]).
Parmotrema stuppeum
This species is mainly Appalachian. This is the rst published record for Maine
(J.W. Hinds, School of Biology and Ecology, University of Maine, Orono, ME,
pers. comm.). Although it has powdery marginal soredia and contains salazinic
acid like the similar P. reticulatum (Taylor) M. Choisy, P. stuppeum lacks whitish
reticulate maculae or cracks on the thallus surface. (Maine. Washington County:
Roque Island, on yellow birch, R.C. Harris, 26 May 2011 [det. D.H.S. Richardson]
(EgH)). Two more vouchers from Roque Island are in EgH, one collected by A.
VanDerwerker on Betula alleghaniensis Britton (Yellow Birch) in 2011 and one
collected by J.A. Moore on Fagus (beech) in 2016.

Pseudocyphellaria aff. perpetua
This species was previously included within P. crocata, but genetic studies
by Moncada et al. (2014) revealed several distinct lineages at the species level;
one corresponds to a recently described western population of P. perpetua Mc-
Cune & Miądl. (Miądlakowska et al. 2002), which is conspecic with the older
P. hawaiiensis H. Magn. (Moncada et al. 2014). The eastern population, which is
a close phenotypic match for P. perpetua, is still unnamed and is referred to here
as P. afn. perpetua, following Moncada et al. (2014). All Eagle Hill specimens
named as P. crocata have turned out to be this taxon.
Taeniolella cladinicola
This species, new to North America, was described and beautifully illustrated
by Alstrup (1993) from a Danish specimen on Cladonia arbuscula (Wallr.) Flotow.
The Eagle Hill specimen was growing on C. uncialis. (Maine, Washington Coun-
ty: Petit Manan Point, John Hollingsworth Trail, rock outcrops and mixed forest,
44°26'01"N, 67°53'21"W, 5 Sept. 2001 [DLH]).
Tremella coppinsii.
There are several records of this lichenicolous basidiomycete from Maine, as
well as Matane, QC, Canada, in the NYBG (2017) database collected by William
Buck or Richard Harris on Platismatia glauca. These are the rst published records
for North America. It is not uncommon in northern Europe and the UK (GBIF 2017).

Summary
In all, 600 lichens and 82 lichenicolous and allied fungi have been recorded from
Eagle Hill Institute and its vicinity. Of the 682 taxa listed, 331 have been recorded
within the Institute’s boundary and 655 from its vicinity (27 taxa have only been re-
corded from within the Institute’s property, 351 taxa from only the vicinity, and 304
from both study areas); a further 66 taxa (53 lichens and 13 lichenicolous and allied
fungi) compiled from unveried class lists have been recorded from one or both of
the study areas but lack voucher material. Seven taxa (1 lichen and 6 lichenicolous
fungi) are additional to the North American checklist (cf. Esslinger 2017); notes
on these and some other interesting taxa are provided. The central part of coastal
Maine, which includes the Eagle Hill Institute, is clearly a hot-spot for lichen diver-
sity as revealed by the 25 years of annual seminars offered by the Institute and their
resulting collections. Impressive as the list above is in demonstrating this diversity,
it will undoubtedly grow as more courses focusing on different aspects of lichenol-
ogy are held in the coming years.

... In New England and eastern Canada, state and provincial records of Rinodina species confirmed by Sheard (2010) have been supplemented in some cases by recent or updated general lichen surveys. For example, Seaward et al. (2017) reported 10 species from the coastal region of eastern Maine, and Brodo et al. (2021a,b) 15 species from the Ottawa region of Ontario and Quebec. ...
... However, its thallus is typically thinner and more fissured ("rimose") than that of R. moziana, and its spores are smaller (Sheard 2010). Although it has not been found in New Brunswick, R. oxydata is to be expected in the province, as scattered occurrences are known in southern Ontario, Quebec, southeastern Newfoundland, and Maine (Sheard 2010;Lendemer et al. 2014;Seaward et al. 2017). In contrast, the record of R. moziana in Fundy National Park is isolated by more than 700 km from the closest known occurrences in Ontario (Sheard 2010;Brodo et al. 2021a) and southern New England (Sheard 2010;Lendemer et al. 2014). ...
... The soralia of R. efflorescens contain secalonic acid A (KC+ yellow orange), which is lacking in R. buckii and R. willeyi. Rinodina buckii is not yet known from New Brunswick or elsewhere in Canada, but it has been reported from neighbouring southeastern Maine Seaward et al. 2017). It has coarser soredia and more convex areoles than R. willeyi-see the key to species, above, and the detailed comparison and illustrations of these species in Sheard et al. (2012). ...

Fifteen species of the crustose lichen genus Rinodina are confirmed in New Brunswick, Canada. We report four corticolous species, Rinodina pachysperma, Rinodina populicola, Rinodina septentrionalis, and Rinodina tenuis, and the saxicolous Rinodina tephraspis in the province for the first time. A previous report of Rinodina granuligera is based on a specimen that we have re-identified as Rinodina cinereovirens. We note distinguishing characteristics, habitats, substrata, relative abundance, and biogeographic relationships of each species and provide an identification key and distribution maps. The most frequently occupied phorophytes (tree substrata) are Sugar Maple (Acer saccharum), Yellow Birch (Betula alleghaniensis), and Eastern White Cedar (Thuja occidentalis). Some species are closely associated with particular habitats, phorophytes, or both. For example, we found R. pachysperma only in floodplain forests dominated by Silver Maple (Acer saccharinum), and R. tenuis only on Eastern White Cedar in wet cedar-dominated stands. In contrast, we recorded Rinodina freyi on numerous phorophyte species in a relatively wide range of habitats. Other than Eastern White Cedar and Balsam Fir (Abies balsamea), conifers are rarely colonized by Rinodina species in New Brunswick. Most Rinodina species are probably not currently of conservation concern in the province. However, R. cinereovirens is known from only two collections, one dating from 1902. The other, from 2007, was on Black Ash (Fraxinus nigra) in a swamp forest next to an active peat-mining operation. The expected devastation of ash species by the invasive Emerald Ash-borer (Agrilus planipennis) is a further threat to this occurrence and to any lichens for which ash may be an important phorophyte.
... The species has subsequently been found to occur commonly in sprucefir and northern hardwood forests throughout the southern Appalachian Mountains where it grows on the bark, branches and lignum of both conifers and hardwoods (Tripp & Lendemer 2020). It has also been reported from coastal Maine in New England (Seaward et al. 2017). ...

Arthonia ligniariella is reported for the first time from eastern North America based on a collection growing on lignum in North Carolina, U.S.A. Biatora appalachensis, an Appalachian endemic, is shown to be widespread throughout the Appalachian Mountains, primarily at high elevations. The only report of Fellhanera parvula from North America (Tennessee, U.S.A.) is considered to be F. bouteillei. Fellhanera subtilis, previously reported in North America from the Pacific Northwest, is reported for the first time from eastern North America (southern Appalachian Mountains). Gyalideopsis mexicana, previously reported in North America from the Yukon, Canada and New Mexico, U.S.A. is newly reported from eastern North America (southern Appalachian Mountains, North Carolina, U.S.A.). Lepra ouahensis, a sorediate species with lichexanthone and stictic acid, is reported from disjunct areas of the southern Appalachian Mountains and the Southeastern Coastal Plain. Its distribution is compared to the lichexanthone producing chemotypes of L. trachythallina and Varicellaria velata. Rockefellera crossophylla, a rare species considered extinct in Pennsylvania, U.S.A. is reported to be extant in that state. Psoronactis dilleniana is newly reported from North America from high elevations of the central and southern Appalachian Mountains (North Carolina and Virginia U.S.A.).

... Lichens are an important component of terrestrial ecosystems' function and biodiversity, especially at higher latitudes (Asplund and Wardle 2017, Nash 2008), although they have been relatively little surveyed compared to bryophytes and vascular plants. In northeastern North America, only a handful of sites have been thoroughly surveyed for lichens, including macrolichens, microlichens, lichenicolous fungi, sterile crusts, and calicioids (e.g., McMullin et al. 2017b, Seaward et al. 2017. Now with 257 confirmed species with corresponding vouchers, Mingan Archipelago National Park Reserve is highlighted as a highly probable lichen diversity hotspot in the Gulf of St. Lawrence Region. ...

This first annotated checklist of the lichens and associated fungi from Min-gan Archipelago National Park Reserve (Québec, Canada) was compiled with the aim of enhancing the ecological knowledge from this regional biodiversity hotspot. I collected specimens in 2021 and 2022 and reviewed previous records based on vouchers deposited at the Louis-Marie Herbarium. A total of 257 species belonging to 96 genera are reported for the protected area, 3 of which represent the first published occurrence with an associated , digitized voucher for the province of Québec: Lecanactis abietina, Opegrapha vulgata, and Usnea diplotypus. This work highlights that Mingan Archipelago National Park Reserve has the potential to be recognized as an area of high lichen diversity in northeastern North America. Further distribution or reproduction of the manuscript, either in whole or in part, except for personal research purposes, is prohibited without the written permission of the publisher, Eagle Hill Institute.
... It produces pale, whitish or cream-coloured, concave apothecia that appear pinkish when wet, and often gives the surface of moss cushions a moribund look (Fig. 6C). It has been reported from scattered locations in eastern North America including Maine (Seaward et al. 2017), New York (Harris 2004) and Pennsylvania (Lendemer 2012). The records published here extend the range of A. sphagnorum east to the Great Lakes Basin (Fig. 6D) where it was found on S. fuscum in Chamaedaphne calyculata dominated peatlands. ...

The endolichenic fungi are an unexplored group of organisms for the production of bioactive secondary metabolites. The aim of the present study is to determine the antibacterial potential of endolichenic fungi isolated from genus Parmotrema. The study is continuation of our previous work, wherein a total of 73 endolichenic fungi were isolated from the lichenized fungi, which resulted in 47 species under 23 genera. All the isolated endolichenic fungi were screened for preliminary antibacterial activity. Five endolichenic fungi—Daldinia eschscholtzii, Nemania diffusa, Preussia sp., Trichoderma sp. and Xylaria feejeensis, were selected for further antibacterial activity by disc diffusion method. The zone of inhibition ranged from 14.3 ± 0.1 to 23.2 ± 0.1. The chemical composition of the selected endolichenic fungi was analysed through GC–MS, which yielded a total of 108 compounds from all the selected five endolichenic fungi. Diethyl phthalate, 1-hexadecanol, dibutyl phthalate, n-tetracosanol-1, 1-nonadecene, pyrrol[1,2-a] pyrazine-1,4-dione, hexahydro-3-(2-methyl) and tetratetracontane were found to be common compounds among one or the other endolichenic fungi, which possibly were responsible for antibacterial activity. GC–MS data were further analysed through Principal Component Analysis which showed D. eschscholtzii to be with unique pattern of expression of metabolites. Compound confirmation test revealed coumaric acid to be responsible for antibacterial activity in D. eschscholtzii. So, the study proves that endolichenic fungi that inhabit lichenized fungal thalli could be a source of potential antibacterial compounds.

Arthonia frostiicola and A. galligena are described as new to science based on collections from mountainous regions of southeastern North America. Arthonia frostiicola infects the saxicolous lichen Dirinaria frostii, producing emarginate black apothecia which erupt from within the host thallus. It is characterized by a dark hypothecium and 1-septate, obovoid ascospores which turn brownish and verruculose in age. It is known from five collections made in the southern Appalachian Mountains and Ozark Mountains in southeastern North America. Arthonia galligena produces galls in the thallus and apothecia of the corticolous lichens Lecanora masana and L. rugosella, and is apparently endemic to the high elevations of the southern Appalachian Mountains. It is characterized by a variably pigmented, pale to red-brown hypothecium and 2-septate, macrocephalic ascospores which turn brownish and verruculose in age. Keys to the species of Arthonia on Caliciales and Lecanoraceae are provided.

Schadonia saulskellyana is described as new to science based on material from the southern Appalachian Mountains in the eastern United States. The species appears to be endemic to the region and mostly restricted to the bark of conifers. It is particularly abundant and frequent in the imperiled high-elevation spruce-fir forests of the region. The new species is distinguished from its congeners by its corticolous habit, minutely areolate thallus with areoles that erupt into soralia which dissolve the areoles and give the appearance of a leprose crust, epruinose, dark brown-black apothecia with a brown hypothecium, and monosporous asci with large, muriform ascospores. It is also compared with other genera of Pilocarpaceae, particularly Calopadia. Lopadium disciforme, a superficially similar species is also compared to the new species and photographs, as well as a distribution map for eastern North America, are provided for that species.

128 species in 45 genera of sorediate and isidiate, crustose, corticolous lichens are recorded from Norway. Accounts of their morphology, chemistry, and substratum preferences are presented, and a discussion of their distribution in Norway is supported by maps for a number of taxa. With few exceptions, the taxa can be distinguished on thallus characters alone. Several taxa, especially those with brown or blue-pigmented soralia, have soredia with a distinct cortex. New species are: Buellia arborea Coppins & Tønsb. (from Norway and Scotland), Fuscidea arboricola Coppins & Tønsb. (from Norway, Sweden, and Scotland), F. pusilla Tønsb. (from Norway, Sweden, and Scotland), Lecanora flavoleprosa Tønsb. (from Norway and Austria), L. flavopunctata Tønsb. (from Norway and Sweden), L. norvegica Tønsb. (from Norway), Lecidea gyrophorica Tønsb. (syn. L. epizanthoidiza auct., non Nyl.), L. praetermissa Tønsb. (from Norway and Sweden), L. subcinnabarina Tønsb. (from Norway), L. vacciniicola Tønsb. (from Norway, Sweden, and Spain), Lecidella subviridis Tønsb. (from Norway and Sweden), Lepraria elobata Tønsb. (from Norway), L. jackii Tønsb. (from Norway), L. obtusatica Tønsb. (from Norway), L. umbricola Tønsb. (from Norway, England, and Scotland), Micarea coppinsii Tønsb. (from Norway and Scotland), Rinodinaflavosoralifera Tønsb. (from Norway), R. disjuncta Sheard & Tønsb. (from Norway and the pacific coast of U.S.A. and Canada), and Schaereria corticola Muhr & Tønsb. (from Norway, Sweden and Scotland). Ochrolechia androgyna s. lat. is shown to comprise at least four distinct species. New combinations are: Cliostomum leprosum (Räsänen) Holien & Tønsb., Lepraria rigidula (B. de Lesd.) Tønsb., Mycoblastus caesius (Coppins & P. James) Tønsb., Placynthiella dasaea (Stirton) Tønsb., and Ropalospora viridis (Tønsb.) Tønsb. Lecidea turgidula var. pulveracea Fr. is raised to specific level with the new name Lecidea leprarioides Tønsb. Mycoblastus sterilis Coppins & P. James is reduced to synonymy with M. fucatus Stirton. Pertusaria borealis is new to Europe. Halecania viridescens, Lecanora farinaria, Lepraria caesioalba Laundon ined., L. eburnea Laundon ined., Megalospora tuberculosa, Opegrapha multipuncta, and Scoliciosporum gallurae are new to Scandinavia. Mycoblastus caesius, Lecidella elaeochroma “f. soralifera”, L. flavosorediata, Micarea granulans (saxicolous, not treated), Opegrapha sorediifera, and Rinodina degeliana are new to Norway. In some cases, Poelt’s species pair concept can be applied to this group of lichens. Additional secondary substances, not occurring in the primary species, sometimes occur in the soralia of the secondary species. In this case, presence of the additional substance cannot be regarded as an independent taxonomic character, and the species pair concept is still useful. However, morphologically indistinguishable specimens with different chemistry may represent different secondary species. The term consoredia is introduced to denote diaspores composed of aggregated soredia.

Whereas lichen-habitat relations have been well-documented globally, literature on lichens of vernal pools is scant. We surveyed six vernal pools at Acadia National Park on Mount Desert Island, Maine, USA for their lichen diversity. Sixty-seven species were identified, including seven species that are new reports for Acadia National Park: Fuscidea arboricola, Hypogymnia incurvoides, Lepraria finkii, Phaeographis inusta, Ropalospora viridis, Usnea flammea, and Violella fucata. Five species are considered uncommon or only locally common in New England: Everniastrum catawbiense, Hypogymnia krogiae, Pseudevernia cladonia, Usnea flammea, and Usnea merrillii. This work represents the first survey of lichens from vernal pools in Acadia National Park and strongly suggests that previous efforts at documenting species at the Park have underestimated its species diversity. More work should be conducted to determine whether a unique assemblage of lichens occurs in association with this unique habitat type.

Bacidia schweinitzii is a common crustose lichen that is widespread in eastern North America. It is comprised of three distinct morphotypes differing in apothecial pigmentation. Here we show that molecular data from the mtSSU region affirms the distinctiveness of these morphotypes, prompting the recognition of three species: B. schweinitzii s.str., B. ekmaniana sp. nov. and B. purpurans sp. nov. We also show that a common sorediate crustose lichen, sympatric with B. schweinitzii, represents a monophyletic lineage whose relationship with B. schweinitzii s.str. could not be resolved with certainty using analyses of ITS and mtSSU sequence data. We recognize this sorediate lineage as a distinct species, B. sorediata sp. nov. All four taxa are described, illustrated and mapped.

Chaenotheca balsamconensis is described as new to science based on collections from the Great Lakes and Appalachians of eastern North America (Maine, New Brunswick, North Carolina, Ontario, Prince Edward Island and Québec), and one population from western North America (British Columbia). It is distinguished from other species of Chaenotheca by its restriction to Trichaptum abietinum as a substrate, almost exclusively immersed thallus, smooth ascospores, and the presence of a KOH+ red pigment in the stalk. Large-scale conifer fatalities in eastern North America have increased the available habitat for T. abietinum, which has likely caused a boom in the population of C. balsamconensis.
