“…None of the lichenicolous fungi recorded in our study was included in the checklist of lichenicolous fungi for Sardinia [ 64 ]. This may partially be the result of a narrower concept of a lichenicolous lifestyle—excluding most of the species that are also frequently found without contact with remains of a visible host lichen (e.g., excluding Placopyrenium buceckii )—but also reflecting the minimal attention paid to freshwater habitats in most previous lichen collections on the island.…”

This work summarizes the results of the exploration of freshwater lichen biota on the island of Sardinia associated with the regional flagship species Lobothallia hydrocharis, a large-sized crustose lichen from the splash zone along mountain streams, so far known from Sardinia only. Molecular data were used to confirm its distinctiveness from other taxa and its systematic placement and to identify critical taxa among its associated lichen biota. We found 25 species of lichenized fungi, including three species new to science in the genera Verrucaria, Placopyrenium, and Circinaria, and seven species new to Sardinia (Hydropunctaria rheithrophila, Ionaspis chrysophana, I. odora, Verrucaria aquatilis, V. collematodes, V. pseudovirescens), or new to Southern Europe (V. devensis). Specific traits for the freshwater lichen biota of Sardinia were identified and compared to those reported from freshwater sites in the Alps and Carpathian mountains, e.g., a relative scarcity of subgelatinous lichens. Parasitic or epilichenic interactions were found frequently but only in the splash zone and not in the permanently submerged zone, i.e., two parasitic Placopyrenium species, and clearly lichenicolous thalli of Kuettlingeria atroflava and Lobothallia hydrocharis. Due to its specific trait profile and the great potential for the discovery of new species, we recommend the inclusion of Sardinian and further Mediterranean sites in continental-scale monitoring programs for freshwater lichens.

ZusammenfassungBrackel, W. v. & Wirth, V. 2023. Flechtenbewohnende Pilze im Naturraum Schwarzwald (südwestliches Deutschland). – Herzogia 36: 84 –130.Die aus dem Schwarzwald bekannten flechtenbewohnenden Pilze werden aufgelistet, vorwiegend auf der Grundlage neuester Nachweise. Insgesamt werden 197 Taxa erwähnt, davon 183 beschriebene obligat lichenicole Pilze. Lichenosticta wirthii (auf Loxospora cismonica) und Tremella altimontana (auf Caloplaca cerina) werden beschrieben. Weitere 17 Arten sind Erstfunde für Deutschland: Carbonea aggregantula, Clypeococcum cladonema, Didymocyrtis melanelixiae, Endococcus sardous, Lichenostigma rupicolae, Minutophoma chrysophthalmae, Neobarya peltigerae, Polycoccum versisporum, Rhymbocarpus neglectus, Roselliniopsis groedensis, Sclerococcum pertusariicola, Sphaerellothecium araneosum, S. stereocaulorum, Stigmidium leprariae, Taeniolella chrysothricis, Tremella tuckerae, Trimmatostroma vandenboomii und Weddellomyces turcicus. Zusätzliche 42 Arten sind neu für Baden-Württemberg. Einige, vermutlich neue Arten aus den Gattungen Endococcus, Lichenochora, Lichenothelia, Muellerella, Phaeoseptoria, Sphaerellothecium, Stigmidium und Trimmatostroma werden charakterisiert, aber nicht formal beschrieben. Am Beispiel des Schwarzwaldes werden Verbreitung, Seltenheit und Gefährdung flechtenbewohnender Pilze und die Schwierigkeit, diese Faktoren zu evaluieren, diskutiert.
