A first list of lichenicolous fungi from India

Abstract

Abstract. Th irty six species of lichenicolous fungi are reported from India, all but one being new to the country. Endococcus incrassatus and Monodictys epilepraria are new to Asia. Endocarpon and Melanelixia are new host genera for Endococcus incrassatus and Lichenoconium xanthoriae respectively. Cladosporium licheniphilum is for the fi rst time reported on Xanthoria candelaria, as is Corticifraga peltigerae on Peltigera elisabethae and P. ponojensis, and Nectriopsis lecanodes on Peltigera elisabethae and P. scabrosa. Two possibly undescribed species of lichenicolous fungi, viz. Cercidospora sp. on Lecanora sp. and Lichenostigma subgen. Lichenogramma sp. on Seirophora contortuplicata, are briefl y described and discussed. Host lichens Peltigera ponojensis, P. scabrosa and Seirophora contortuplicata are new to India.

New and noteworthy lichenicolous and bryophylous fungi from the Ukrainian Carpathians

“…; exciple up to 20 µm thick, K+ violet; asci cylindrical, 8-spored (36-)42-49(-52) × (5.5-)8-9.2(-10) µm (n=10); ascospores 1-septate, broadly ellipsoid, hyaline, constricted at the septum, (6.2-)6.8-7.8(-8.0) × (4.4-)4.8-5.4(-5.6) µm (n=30). This species was previously reported on various species of Parmeliaceae and Physciaceae from Argentina, Brazil, Ecuador, Germany, India, New Zealand and Spain (Brackel, 2007;Zhurbenko, 2013;Motiejūnaitė & Grochowski, 2014;Etayo & Pérez-Ortega, 2016;Etayo, 2017). Parmelia saxatilis and Parmelina pastillifera are new host species.…”
