Notulae to the Italian flora of algae, bryophytes, fungi and lichens: 9

Abstract

In this contribution, new data concerning bryophytes, fungi, and lichens of the Italian flora are presented. It includes new records and confirmations for the bryophyte genera Encalypta, Grimmia, and Riccia, for the fungal genera Hericium, Inocybe, Inocutis, Pluteus, and Russula, and for the lichen genera Bryoria, Farnoldia, Hypocenomyce, Lecania, Paracollema, Peltigera, Sarcogyne, and Teloschistes.

Enhancing lichen inventories in Italy: new records of Cladonia, Nephroma and Peltigera from the mountains of Lombardia

“…2020b). The Cladonia-dominated communities observed in such situations have a partly similar composition to the terricolous lichen communities found in lowland dry habitats in the western Po Plain (Gheza 2018(Gheza , 2020, which is enriched here by further species with higher-altitude distribution patterns. In the subalpine and alpine belts, the sites richest in Cladonia are high-altitude heaths (e.g.…”

Three new records of lichenised fungi for Antarctica

“…The specimen of F. micropsis was collected on small pebbles in the coastal zone of James Ross Island. This species was previously reported from Murmansk region of Russia (Melechin, 2015), SE Alaska, Montana, Colorado, and Utah of USA (McCune, Glew, Nelson, & Villella, 2007), France (Sussey, 2012), China (Zhao, Hu, & Zhao, 2016), Sweden (Westberg et al, 2016), Slovenia (Batic et al, 2003), Siberia, Finland, Turkey, Canada (Hertel, 2001), Alaska (Hertel & Andreev, 2003), Arctic (Hertel, 1991), Italy (Ravera et al, 2020), Germany (Wirth et al, 2011), Greenland, Svalbard (Kristinsson, Hansen, & Zhurbenko, 2015), Macedonia, Romania, Bulgaria, Montenegro (Oukarroum, Strasser, & Schansker, 2012), Australia (Reiter & Türk, 2001) and Spain (Gómez-Bolea et al, 2021) on rocks with intermediate carbonate content, being rare on pure limestone (McCune et al, 2007), on calcareous boulders (Westberg et al, 2016) and various calcareous rock types (Hertel & Andreev, 2003). This is the first report of this species from the Southern Hemisphere and Antarctica.…”

Studia Lichenologica in Italy. I. New records of red-listed species

“…Furthermore, the high number of reports of T. chrysophthalmos -also considering other recent records from Emilia-Romagna (Fariselli & al. 2020), Puglia (Ravera & al. 2020a, Gianfreda & Matino 2020), and Sicilia (La Rosa & al.…”

“…Pollution, fertilizers, and the loss of some habitats, such as traditional orchards and hedgerows in rural areas, are responsible for its decline (Ravera & al. 2011b) and its irregular distribution (Ravera et al 2020a). The distribution of T. chrysophthalmos could also be affected by ongoing climate change, with possible loss of bioclimatic space and distribution displacements (Rubio-Salcedo & al.…”
