Revision of the corticolous Mazosia species, with a key to Mazosia species with 3-septate ascospores

Abstract: A revision of corticolous Mazosia specimens showed that four species are present, all differing from the foliicolous taxa in the genus. One of them is widely distributed in the tropics and the others are, as far as is known, neotropical. Three species are co-occurring in NE Brazil. They can be distinguished as follows: M. leptosticta (Nyl.) Sparrius has longer ascospores (22-35 Â 4-7 mm) than the other species, M. endonigra A. A. Menezes, M. Cáceres & Aptroot sp. nov. has sessile apothecia on a smooth thallus … Show more

“…Thus far, diversity studies were performed in these ecosystems only on plants, mammals, insects and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (Assis et al, ; Locatelli, Machado, & Medeiros, ; Pôrto, Germano, & Borges, ; Rodal & Nascimento, ; Rodal & Sales, ; Souza, Languth, & Amaral, ). Studies on lichenized fungi in general in Brejos have been scarce, focusing on their composition and habitat preferences (Cáceres, Lücking, & Rambold, ), with some additional recent inventories and discoveries of new taxa (Aptroot et al, ; Cáceres, Mota, de Jesus, & Aptroot, ; Sobreira, Aptroot, & Cárceres, ; Xavier‐Leite, Menezes, Aptroot, & Cáceres, ).…”

“…It compared favourably with herbarium material of the generitype, M. rotula, M. phyllosema, the other taxon of the genus known to occur in the region, and several other species of Mazosia available for study, and with published accounts, notably those of Lücking (2008), Aptroot et al (2014) and Sakata et al (2017). Critical characters of the new species are the Trentepohlia photobiont, characteristic for corticolous taxa, as distinct from foliicolous taxa that contain Phycopeltis (Aptroot et al 2014), the stratified construction of the apothecial margin, notably the layer of pigmented excipular hyphae overlain by a layer of crystals that is in turn overlain by a thalline layer (Lücking 2008), the particular ascus type (Fig. 2), the branched and anastomosing paraphyses, and the distinctive ascospores with an enlarged, uppermost median cell (Aptroot et al 2014;Lücking 2008, Fig.…”
