The first records of two lichenicolous fungi, Lichenoconium pyxidatae and beschiana, in Poland

Lichenicolous fungi are rather poorly known in Poland. In the 19th and the early 20th centuries they were included in works as a supplement to lichens (e.g., Ohlert 1863; Boberski 1886; Eitner 1901). Only a few papers dealing exclusively with this group have been published in Poland (e.g., Zielin´ska 1963; Starmachowa & Kiszka 1965; Mia˛dlikow- ska & Alstrup 1995; Alstrup & Olech 1996; Kukwa & Motieju− naite. 1999), but some records of lichenicolous fungi are mentioned also in lichenological articles (e.g., Czyz˙ew- ska 1998; Kukwa 2000). 530 Fragm. Flor. Geobot. Ann. 45, Pars 1–2, 2000

In this work we add two new species to the Polish flora (cf. Fałtynowicz 1993). These are Lichenoconium pyxidatae (Oudem.) Petr. & Syd. and Taeniolella beschiana Diede- rich, both growing on Cladonia species. The species are located according to the ATPOL grid square system (Cies´lin´ski & Fałtynowicz 1993), and the geographical coordinates are also provided. The specimens are housed in the Lichen Herbarium of the University of Gdan´sk (UGDA-L).

Lichenoconium pyxidatae (Oudem.) Petr. & Syd.

Fungus belonging to Coelomycetes; pycnidia black, 0.10–0.12 mm in diameter, conidiogenous cells hyaline; conidia brown, verruculose, subglobose to globose, rather smooth-walled, 3 × 3–4 μm; host thallus discolored. In the Polish collection, Lichenoconium pyxidatae grows on a small, partly deformed and unidentifiable specimen of Cladonia sp. and also on C. chlorophaea (Flörke ex Sommerf.) Spreng. s.l. According to Hawksworth (1981), the species may also parasitize other Cladonia species. Up to now it has been found in only one locality in northern Poland. It is probably more frequent, being overlooked or mistaken for Lichenoconium erodens M. S. Christ. & D. Hawksw., due to the similarity of the damage it causes to the host thallus. However, the latter species differs in having smaller pycnidia, usually 0.03–0.05 mm in diameter (Hawksworth 1981). Lichenoconium pyxidatae has been recorded from, for example, Austria, the British Isles, Denmark, France, Germany, the Netherlands (Hawksworth 1981), Norway (Santes- son 1993), Sweden (Hawksworth 1981; Santesson 1993), Lithuania (Motieju− naite. 1999), the Czech Republic (Kocourková 2000) and North America (Esslinger & Egan 1995).

Taeniolella beschiana Diederich

Fungus belonging to (Dothideales, ); conidiophores erect, branched in the lower part, septate, dark brown; conidiogenous cells monoblastic, ca 3.5 μm thick; conidia solitary, ellipsoid, nonseptate, brown, with a roughened surface, 2.5–3.0 × 5.5 μm; host thallus not discolored or damaged. This fungus can also produce 1-septate conidia (Diederich 1992), but such were not found in our material. In Poland Taeniolella beschiana has been found only on Cladonia chlorophaea s.l., but elsewhere the species has also been recorded from other Cladonia species, e.g., C. coccifera (L.) Willd. and C. uncialis (L.) Weber ex. F. H. Wigg. (Santesson 1993). According to Diederich (1992), it is parasymbiotic or weakly parasitic. In Polish collec- tions the host thalli were not damaged. The species was collected from five localities in three ATPOL grid squares in northern Poland. It probably is more widespread. Up to now the species has been found also in Austria (Berger & Türk 1993), the Botanical notes 531

Some new and noteworthy lichenicolous fungi to Ukraine

During a revision of lichens which Professor T. Sulma collected in Chivchino-Grinyav- skie Mts (Eastern Carpathians, Ukraine) in 1931–1937, three species of lichenicolous fungi were found. Two of them, Abrothallus cetrariae Kotte and Vouauxiella lichenicola (Linds.) Petr. & Syd., have not been reported from Ukraine previously (cf. Kondratyuk et al. 1998; Kondratyuk 1999), and one species, Muellerella hospitans Stizenb., is reported from a new locality. The map of all localities investigated by T. Sulma was presented by Fałtynowicz and Sulma (1994). The specimens are deposited in the Lichen Herbarium of the University of Gdan´sk (UGDA-L).

Abrothallus cetrariae Kotte

Fungus inducing the formation of convoluted galls, galls brownish; vegetative hyphae J+ blue, apo- thecia on galls, convex, black, a few greenish pruinose, ca 0.3 mm wide, epithecium dark, in K green- ish brown, hymenium almost hyaline to brownish in parts, upper part of hymenium K+ blue green, ca 80 μm tall, hypothecium yellowish brown, K+ brown intensifying; interascal tissue branched; asci 8-spored, spores 1-septate, with upper cell usually wider and shorter than lower, verruculose, mature brown, young colorless, 13–16 × 5–6 μm; anamorph of Vouauxiomyces-type present; pycnidia not
