Nuclear ribosomal SSU and LSU sequences show that it is closely related to P. luetkemuelleri, but its relationship to the type species of Petractis, P. clausa, is unclear.

The phylogeny, taxonomy and classification of Cryptodiscus are examined. The current generic and species delimitations, and the relationship of the genus within the Ostropomycetidae, are tested by molecular phylogenetic analyses of the nuclear ITS and LSU rDNA and the mitochondrial SSU rDNA. In our new circumscription Cryptodiscus is a monophyletic group of saprotrophic and lichenized fungi characterized by small, urceolate apothecia, mostly hyaline ascomatal walls without any embedded crystals, no clear periphysoids, and with oblong to narrow- cylindrical septate ascospores. Cryptodiscus forms a well-supported clade together with Absconditella and the remaining Stictidaceae. Paschelkiella and Bryophagus are synonymised with Cryptodiscus. Species excluded from Cryptodiscus are Cryptodiscus anguillosporus, C. angulosus, C. microstomus, and C. rhopaloides. Cryptodiscus in Sweden is revised and six species are accepted, of which one is newly described: C. foveolaris, C. gloeocapsa comb. nov.

Lichens are a unique group of plants, comprising of two micro-organisms, fungus (mycobiont), an organism capable of producing food via photosynthesis and alga (photobiont). These photobionts are predominantly members of the chlorophyta (green algae) or cynophyta (blue-green algae or cynobacteria). The peculiar nature of lichens enables them to colonize variety of substrate like rock, boulders, bark, soil, leaf and man-made buildings.

Legionów 9, PL–80–441 Gdańsk, Poland Abstract — Roselliniella stereocaulorum growing on Stereocaulon spp. is described as new from Poland, the Asiatic part of Russia and the USA (Alaska). Key words — taxonomy, new species Introduction Roselliniella Vain. (Sordariales, Ascomycota) is an obligate lichenicolous pyrenomycetous genus that included 15 species. It is characterized mainly by non-amyloid, up to 8-spored asci without distinct apical structures, brown, simple or very rarely septate ascospores with smooth or microguttulate (not verruculose) walls lacking visible pores, and brown, commonly distinct vegetative hyphae penetrating usually only the host tissues, but sometimes also surrounding perithecia (Matzer & Hafellner 1990, Aptroot et al. 1997, Hawksworth & Miądlikowska 1997, Hoffmann & Hafellner 2000, Etayo 2002, Etayo & Sancho 2008). Members of the genus grow mainly on various foliose, fruticose and occasionally also crustose lichens of two orders, Lecanorales and Peltigerales (Matzer & Hafellner 1990, Aptroot et al. 1997, Hawksworth & Miądlikowska 1997, Etayo 2002), with the exception of R. microthelia (Wallr.) Nik. Hoffm. & Hafellner. This species is confined to the genus Trapelia M. Choisy (Hoffmann & Hafellner 2000), a member of Baeomycetales (classification according to Lumbsch & Huhndorf 2007, Lumbsch et al. 2007). During the studies on lichenicolous fungi in the Holarctic and a revision of the genus Stereocaulon in Poland, we found interesting specimens of Roselliniella with predominantly 4-spored asci.

We specifically modelled spatial (across-site) heterogeneity in nucleotide frequencies, as models not incorporating this heterogeneity were found to be inadequate for our data. Model adequacy was measured here as the ability of the model to reconstruct nucleotide diversity per site in the original sequence data. A potential non-orthologue in the internal transcribed spacer region (ITS) of Degelia plumbea was observed. We propose a revised generic classification for the Pannariaceae, accepting 30 genera, based on our phylogeny, previously published phylogenies, as well as morphological and chemical data available.

Introduction Graphidaceae is the second largest family of lichenized fungi, with 2161 species, after Parmeliaceae, with 2765 species (Lücking et al. 2017). Collecting in Brazil started in the 1820s, during expeditions by Martius (Martius 1827). However, the first records of Graphidaceae from South and Central Brazil were published by Müller Argoviensis (1895) and Redinger (1933), respectively, from the states of Santa Catarina, Mato Grosso, Mato Grosso do Sul, and Rio Grande do Sul. Since then, references to the family in these regions can been found in regional surveys, species listings, and new species publications, and ecological papers (e.g. Redinger 1934, 1935; Osorio & Fleig 1982; Kalb 1983; Osorio 1985; Spielmann 2006; Dal-Forno & Eliasaro 2010; Käffer et al.

  • An Evolving Phylogenetically Based Taxonomy of Lichens and Allied Fungi
    Opuscula Philolichenum, 11: 4-10. 2012. *pdf available online 3January2012 via (http://sweetgum.nybg.org/philolichenum/) An evolving phylogenetically based taxonomy of lichens and allied fungi 1 BRENDAN P. HODKINSON ABSTRACT. – A taxonomic scheme for lichens and allied fungi that synthesizes scientific knowledge from a variety of sources is presented. The system put forth here is intended both (1) to provide a skeletal outline of the lichens and allied fungi that can be used as a provisional filing and databasing scheme by lichen herbarium/data managers and (2) to announce the online presence of an official taxonomy that will define the scope of the newly formed International Committee for the Nomenclature of Lichens and Allied Fungi (ICNLAF). The online version of the taxonomy presented here will continue to evolve along with our understanding of the organisms. Additionally, the subfamily Fissurinoideae Rivas Plata, Lücking and Lumbsch is elevated to the rank of family as Fissurinaceae. KEYWORDS. – higher-level taxonomy, lichen-forming fungi, lichenized fungi, phylogeny INTRODUCTION Traditionally, lichen herbaria have been arranged alphabetically, a scheme that stands in stark contrast to the phylogenetic scheme used by nearly all vascular plant herbaria. The justification typically given for this practice is that lichen taxonomy is too unstable to establish a reasonable system of classification. However, recent leaps forward in our understanding of the higher-level classification of fungi, driven primarily by the NSF-funded Assembling the Fungal Tree of Life (AFToL) project (Lutzoni et al. 2004), have caused the taxonomy of lichen-forming and allied fungi to increase significantly in stability. This is especially true within the class Lecanoromycetes, the main group of lichen-forming fungi (Miadlikowska et al.
