Lichenicolous Fungi from the Western Pyrenees, France and Spain. IV. Ascomycetes

Abstract

Twenty species of lichenicolous ascomycetes are recorded

Lichenicolous fungi from Kodar Range, Trans-Baikal Territory of Russia

“…in Zhurbenko & Zheludeva (2015). This material differs from the species protologue (Etayo & Diederich, 1998) in that it is not associated with black necrotic areas of the host lobes as well as in several other features, which were noted in the above-mentioned publication. Notes -Ascospores mostly hyaline and smooth, occasionally pale brown and verruculose when overmature, (11.1-)12.7-15.1(-17.1) × (4.7-)5.0-6.2(-6.9) µm, l/b = (1.8-)2.1-2.9(-3.5) (n = 31, in water or BCr), BCr-.…”

Lichens and lichenicolous fungi of the Azores (Portugal), collected on São Miguel and Terceira with the descriptions of seven new species

“…Taxonomic notes: The perithecia and ascospores measurements are different from the description of Sphaerellothecium parmeliae Diederich et Etayo in Etayo and Diederich (1998), which is described from Parmelia s. str. The perithecia in this latter are 25-40(-60) μm, semi-immersed to superficial, arising from large black necrotic areas (Etayo and Diederich 1998), which is not the case in the new species (perithecia 30-50 μm, immersed to semi-immersed, without black necrotic areas).…”

Zwackhiomyces polischukii Sp. Nov., and other Noteworthy Lichenicolous Fungi from Ukraine

“…The species is characterized by sporodochia-like conidiomata and slightly to distinctly verrucose, ellipsoid 1-septate brownish conidia (Diederich et al 2013). It is known from Europe: Austria, the Azores, France, United Kingdom (Etayo & Diederich 1996;Diederich et al 2013); Asia (Zhurbenko et al 2015). New for Ukraine.…”
