New data on some rare species of Hyphomycetes from Lithuania

Abstract

The paper presents new data on ecological peculiarities of five anamorphic fungi species, <em>Cladorrhinum foecundissimum, Dwayaangam cornuta, Lateriramulosa uni-inflata, Pyramidospora herculiformis</em> and <em>Tetraploa setifera</em>, their distribution and substrate preferences are discussed. Short description, illustration and map of localities in Lithuania of recorded species are presented.

The first fossil record of the anamorphic genus Zygosporium Mont. from the Oligocene of Csolnok (N Hungary)

“…Among modern Zygosporium species, Z. gibbum, and Z. oscheoides seem to have the widest geographic range (Ellis 1971;Whitton et al 2003Whitton et al , 2012. In Europe, Zygosporium is distributed in Italy (Rambelli 2011;Lunghini et al 2013), Great Britain including Scotland and the Hebrides (Hughes 1951;Sutton and Pirozynski 1963;Kirk 1981Kirk , 1983Dennis 1986;Yabuki et al 2014), Ireland (Sutton and Pirozynski 1963), Lithuania (Lugauskas et al 2003;Markovskaja and Treigiene 2004), Serbia (Ljaljević-Grbić et al 2015), and Spain (Guarro et al 1980). The highest species diversity is shown in Italy (Z. echinosporum, Z. gibbum, Z. minus, Z. mycophilum, and Z. oscheoides) and Great Britain (Z. gibbum, Z. minus, and Z. oscheoides).…”

“…The highest species diversity is shown in Italy (Z. echinosporum, Z. gibbum, Z. minus, Z. mycophilum, and Z. oscheoides) and Great Britain (Z. gibbum, Z. minus, and Z. oscheoides). From Lithuania and Spain, only Z. gibbum was reported (Guarro et al 1980;Lugauskas et al 2003;Markovskaja and Treigiene 2004). Interestingly, the sole record of Zygosporium from Serbia is Z. masonii (Ljaljević-Grbić et al 2015), which has hitherto been recorded mainly from countries with a warm climate (Ellis 1971;López and García 2005).…”
