Abstract: Muchnik, E., Konoreva, L., Chesnokov, S., Paukov, A., Tsurykau, A. & Gerasimova, J. 2019. New and otherwise noteworthy records of lichenized and lichenicolous fungi from central European Russia – Herzogia 32: 111–126. Twenty-six taxa of lichenized and lichenicolous fungi are treated, of which one (Stictis mollis) is recorded for the first time for Russia, three (Acarospora normanii, Cladonia monomorpha and Polysporina subfuscescens) are new for the European part of Russia, and Reconditella physconiarum is new for central European Russia. A further twenty- one species (Arthonia reniformis, Bacidia biatorina, Bacidina sulphurella, Candelaria pacifica, Catillaria croatica, Chaenotheca phaeocephala, Chaenotheca subroscida, Cladonia cryptochlorophaea, Cladonia merochlorophaea, Epicladonia sandstedei, Gyalecta flotowii, Gyalecta truncigena, Hypogymnia farinacea, Illosporiopsis christiansenii, Julella fallaciosa, Micarea tomentosa, Muellerella hospitans, Nephroma parile, Phaeophyscia endophoenicea, Steinia geophana and Verrucaria dolosa) were extremely rarely observed before in central European Russia. Short notes on characters and distribution of the species are provided.

Auf ihre kennzeichnenden Merkmale und ihre Verbreitung wird kurz eingegangen.

Key words: biodiversity, lichens, allied fungi.

Introduction Central European Russia (CER) includes 28 constituent entities within the Federation (23 oblasts, four republics and the city of Moscow). The territory of CER covers c. 1,000,000 km2. It includes several physiographic regions, namely forest (southern taiga, mixed and broad- leaved forests), forest-steppe and steppe zones. Lichenological discoveries in CER date back to the end of the 18th century (Stephan 1792). The first summary was published by Elenkin (1906 –1911), and later by Tomin (1928, 1956) 112 Herzogia 32 (1), 2019 and Golubkova (1966). Lichenologists were mainly focused on the study of local lichen biota (e.g. Byazrov 1969a, b, 1996, 2009, etc., Malysheva 1986, Muchnik 2001, 2005, 2016 etc., Shustov 2006, Evstigneeva 2007, Muchnik et al. 2009a, Muchnik & Konoreva 2012, Notov et al. 2011). As different methods were applied during the long history of lichenological research, the territory of central European Russia is insufficiently and unevenly studied. Mapping of species distribution has rarely been carried out, for example, in Moscow (Byazrov 2002) and Tsentralno-Lesnoy State Nature Biosphere Reserve in Tver oblast (Notov et al. 2016). The supporting vouchers of lichens collected in CER are dispersed among many local herbaria in regional universities or State Nature Reserves, and therefore it is hard to verify previous identifications and revise critical taxa. Furthermore, some herbaria were destroyed and there is no chance to reexamine the supporting vouchers. In this regard, the assessment of occurrence of species in CER and evaluation of their rarity was largely based on literature data. So far two supplements to lichen biota of the central European Russia were published (Muchnik 2017, Muchnik & Konoreva 2017). This contribution is devoted to further new lichenological records from this area.

Materials and Methods Lichenological explorations were carried out in 2015 –2017 mainly by the first author in several oblasts of the central European Russia (Bryansk, Kaluga, Lipetsk, Moscow, Ryazan and Voronezh oblasts). The study was focused on poorly investigated areas or old-growth wood- lands mainly located within specially protected sites. Furthermore, study plots were selected following the framework of the state assignment of the Institute of Forest Science, RAS. Reference material was mainly studied in LE (herbarium of V. L. Komarov Botanical Institute of RAS, St.-Petersburg), RSU (Ryazan State University), and BRSU (Bryansk State University). The photographs of the species were taken using Stemi-2000 CS microscope with an attached AxioCam MRc5 camera, and Nikon Eclipse 80i microscope equipped with Nikon DS-5 m camera. CombineZP software was used for the z-stack. Secondary chemistry was analyzed by thin-layer chromatography (TLC) in solvents A and C according to the methods of Orange et al. (2001). Cited specimens are available in the following herbaria: LE, BRSU, and the herbarium of the Institute of Forest Science RAS.

Results The present paper reports one species, Stictis mollis, as new to Russia. In addition, Acarospora normanii, Cladonia monomorpha and Polysporina subfuscescens are new for the European part of Russia (ER), and Reconditella physconiarum is new for CER. A further twenty-one species are known from one or two localities in the central part of European Russia. Brief comments about geographic distribution, and morphological differences from similar taxa, are presented.

Species new to Russia, European Russia (ER) or Central European Russia (CER) Acarospora normanii H.Magn. This species, like other C-negative, brownish taxa in the genus, may be misidentified as Acarospora nitrophila H. Magn. (Knudsen & Kocourková 2017). The keys in Magnusson (1929) and Muchnik et al.: Lichenized and lichenicolous fungi from Central European Russia 113

Golubkova (1988) use colour of the lower surface as one of the characters of this species, but it is hardly applicable to A. normanii because of its firmly attached areoles. The iodine reaction of apothecial sections, along with a continuous algal layer, distinguishes this taxon from similar-looking species. Acarospora normanii is known in Russia from southern Siberia (Urbanavichus 2010) and reported here as new to ER. Specimen examined: Ryazan oblast, Sasovskiy region, 54°24'2.7''N/41°54'36.7''E, near Temgenevo village, Nature Monument “Temgenevskiye izvestnyaki”, old bridge, on brickwork (together with Candelariella aurella, Myriolecis hagenii), 02.06.2010, leg. EM and LK, det. AP (LE L-15026) The studied specimen has a brown, areolated, non-lobate, C-negative thallus (Fig. 1). Areoles close- standing or dispersed, 0.5 –1 mm in diameter, matte, moderately convex, firmly attached to the subs- trate, not forming a stipe and a lower surface, epruinose or with light pruina. Algal layer continuous. Apothecia 1–3 per areole, not exceeding the thallus height, with an indistinct thalline margin. Disc brown, 0.2– 0.5 mm. Hymenium 80 –100 µm, hemiamyloid, J+ reddish, subhymenium amyloid, J+ blue. Cladonia monomorpha Aptroot, Sipman & Herk New to ER. The species was recently reported from Yamal and Mammoth Peninsulas in the Russian Asian Arctic (Golubkov & Tsurykau 2017). Cladonia monomorpha was recently described from Europe based on its morphology (Aptroot et al. 2001), but its status is still unclear and needs additional study (see Kowalewska & Kukwa 2004, Kowalewska et al. 2008, Ahti & Stenroos 2013). Specimen examined: Kaluga oblast, Kozelskiy region, 54°0'47.7''N/35°52'54''E, National Park “Ugra”, near Sosenka village, slope of a sand dune, on soil, 08.06.2018, leg. Yu. A. Semenishchenkov, det. AT, TLC 208-12: fumarprotocetraric acid (LE L-15030) Polysporina subfuscescens K.Knudsen & Kocourk. [=P. sinensis (H.Magn.) N.S.Golubk.] New to ER. Polysporina subfuscescens is a lichenicolous fungus that grows on thalli of Acarospora spp. It occurs in Asia, Europe and North America (Knudsen & Kocourková 2008). This species was previously recorded in Russia from Southern Siberia (Sedelnikova 2013) and North Caucasus (Ismailov & Urbanavichus 2013). Polysporina subfuscescens is probably a widely distributed taxon in Central Russia because it was misidentified earlier as P. lapponica (Ach. ex Schaer.) Degel. According to Urbanavichus (2010), P. lapponica also occurs in CER. Specimen examined: Voronezh oblast, Anninskiy region, near Verkhniy Karachan village, 51°24'56''N/41°47'23''E, high bank of Sukhoy Karachan river, on the thallus of Acarospora fuscata growing on a sandstone, 9.07.2016, leg. EM, det. G.P. Urbanavichus (LE L-15008). Reconditella physconiarum Hafellner & Matzer New to CER. In Russia Reconditella physconiarum has been reported previously from the Northern Urals, Northwest Caucasus and Chukotka (Zhurbenko 2004, 2009, Zhurbenko & Kobzeva 2014). This lichenicolous fungus has a scattered distribution in Europe, and is also known from Asia and North America (Lendemer et al. 2009, Zhurbenko 2009, Motiejūnaitė et al. 2016). Specimen examined: Voronezh oblast, Gribanovskiy region, 51°20'32''N/42°0'15''E, Tellerman Experimental Forestry of the Institute of Forest Science RAS, 9 sq., oak forest, on thalli of Physconia enteroxantha, 11.08.2018, leg. EM, det. AT (LE M-309672). This species is reported as rare in the NW of Central Europe (Eichler et al. 2010) and it was al- ready known to inhabit Physconia distorta, P. isidiigera, P. muscigena and P. venusta (Matzer & Hafellner 1990, Zhurbenko 2004, Lendemer et al. 2009, Brackel 2014); P. enteroxantha is probably a new host. Stictis mollis Pers. New to Russia. This species is otherwise known from northern Scandinavia and Germany (Wedin et al. 2006). Stictis mollis can easily be distinguished from S. brunnescens and S. radiata by its brownish disk, and from S. confusum and S. populorum by its lack of distinct brown apothecial margins. Furthermore, Stictis mollis can be distinguished from S. confusum and S. populorum by its compa- 114 Herzogia 32 (1), 2019

ratively narrow spores (up to 2–2.5 µm in S. mollis; up to 4 – 4.5 µm in S. confusum; and 4 µm in S. populorum; see Wedin et al. 2006) and the olivaceous, amorphous pigmentation of the uppermost parts of paraphyses. Specimen examined: Ryazan’ oblast, Klepikovskiy region, “Meshcherskiy” National Park, 55°15'47''N/40°15'2.2''E, Prudki village, on bark of young maple, 03.07.2017, leg. and det. EM (LE L-14966). The cited specimen (Fig. 2) is a lichenized morph. It forms small, greyish patches in which a very loosely lichenized photobiont is scattered around the ascomata. Apothecia 0.2– 0.5 mm in diam. [0.2– 0.4 mm (lichenized morph) in diam. according to Wedin et al. 2006]. Spores 130 –140 × 2–2.5 µm (ca. 120 –180 × 2 µm according to Wedin et al. 2006).

Other rare and interesting records Arthonia reniformis (Pers.) Röhl. Very little information exists about the distribution of this species in CER. The cited specimen is the second record since Golubkova (1966) reported it from the Moscow oblast. Specimen examined: Bryansk oblast, Suzemskiy region, 52°26'23.2''N/34°7'28.7''E, “Bryanskiy les” State Nature Reserve, Visitor Centre, Ecological path, floodplain mixed forest, on bark of hazel, 27.10.2017, leg. and det. EM (BRSU). The studied sample is characterized by a thin, smooth, slightly shiny, greyish-green thallus with a thin, dark prothallus. Apothecia partly immersed, black, rugose, often in clusters, soon forming irregularly polygonal spots. Hymenium brownish, ca. 30 µm tall, developing only at the edges of apothecia. Hypothecium indistinct. Spores oblong, 5-septate, 14.5 –18 x 4.8 –5.2 µm. All these observations fall within the range given by Makarevicz (1977) for the territory of the former U.S.S.R..

Bacidia biatorina (Körb.) Vain. The worldwide distribution of Bacidia biatorina includes Europe, North America and Asia (Coppins & Aptroot 2009). In Russia this species was reported from Northern Caucasus, Siberia and Far East (Urbanavichus 2010). However, its distribution in Russia still remains poorly known as the species has long been considered as a synonym of Bacidia arceutina (Ach.) Arnold (Golubkova 2003). Only one specimen of B. biatorina from Central Russia has been previously reported. It was collected by A. A. Elenkin in Yaroslavl oblast in 1903 and is currently kept in LE (LE L-11701; Gerasimova 2016). Specimen examined: Bryansk oblast, Suzemskiy district, 52°24'59.1''N/34°04'9.12''E, Monument of Nature “Nerusso-Sevny”, floodplain of the Nerussa river, old-growth oak forest in the floodplain of Nerussa River, on bark of old oak (100 cm in diam.), 30.08.2018, leg. EM, det. JG (LE L-15144). The collected specimen is characterized by a light yellow-green granular thallus and evenly colored brown to dark brown apothecia (Fig. 3). These characters are common for European specimens of Bacidia biatorina and differentiate them from North American vouchers (Ekman 1996). A full description of this taxon and comparison with closely related species were provided by Coppins & Aptroot (2009) and Ekman (1996). Bacidina sulphurella (Samp.) M. Hauck & V. Wirth Bacidina sulphurella was reported from Europe and Macaronesia (Brand et al. 2009, Coppins et al. 2009 as Bacidia sulphurella Samp.). The species is probably widespread throughout ER, but it has been previously known only from two localities: the Republic of Mordovia (Urbanavichus & Urbanavichene 2015) and Leningrad oblast (Stepanchikova et al. 2017). Specimen examined: Bryansk oblast, Trubchevskiy district, 52°32'3.74''N/34°03'5.46''E, Bryanskiy Les State Nature Reserve, 10 qr., neighborhood of Proletarskiy cordon, old-growth spruce forest in the floodplain of Sol’ka River, on wood of fallen spruce tree, 27.08.2018, leg. EM, det. JG (LE L-15145). 116 Herzogia 32 (1), 2019

Candelaria pacifica M.Westb. & Arup This recently described species is known from Europe, North and South America (Westberg & Arup 2011). It differs from the morphologically similar C. concolor (Dicks.) Stein by the lack of a lower cortex and by the absence of rhizines. In CER, C. pacifica has been previously reported from Tver (Notov et al. 2011) and Kaluga (Gudovicheva et al. 2015) oblasts. However, a study of herbarium material in LE resulted in two additional finds from Moscow oblast (see additional specimens examined). Both samples were previously filed under the name Candelaria concolor. Specimens examined: Bryansk oblast, Brasovskiy region, 52°43'8.8''N/34°21'54.7''E, Lokot’ township, Brasovskiy Park, on bark of old lime tree, 25.10.2017, leg. and det. EM (BRSU) (Fig. 5). Additional specimens examined: Moscow oblast, Sokolniki pine forest (now belongs to the city of Moscow), on bark of Pinus, 27.03.1911, leg. I.P. Petrov, det. L. Yakovchenko (LE L-15043); Moscow oblast, Petrovsko- Razumovskoje village (now belongs to the city of Moscow), on bark of old Scots pines, 06.04.1911, leg. I.P. Petrov, det. L. Yakovchenko (LE L-15044). Despite being originally reported as very frequent in northwestern Europe (Westberg & Arup 2010), the species is apparently much less common in other parts of Europe (Bomble 2012, Westberg & Clerc 2012, Neuwirth 2014). According to Wirth et al. (2013) and Neuwirth (2014), Candelaria concolor and C. pacifica are quite similar in their ecology, inhabiting mainly deciduous trees with nutrient-rich bark in free-standing positions or at forest edges. In CER, most samples were collected in old-growth habitats on a bark of various trees, both deciduous and coniferous. Catillaria croatica Zahlbr. In CER, Catillaria croatica was recently found in the Mordovskiy Reserve, Republic of Mordovia (Urbanavichene & Urbanavichus 2016). This species was moved to Lecania A.Massal. by Kotlov (2004), but molecular studies did not resolve its true phylogenetic position (Naesborg 2008). Specimen examined: Bryansk oblast, Suzemskiy region, 52°24'35.5''N/34°7'04.55''E, Nature Monument “Nerusso- Sevny”, floodplain of the Nerussa river, old-growth oak forest, on bark of hazel, 30.08.2018, leg. EM, det. AT (LE L-15034). Muchnik et al.: Lichenized and lichenicolous fungi from Central European Russia 117

The sample has a greenish-grey areolate sterile thallus with numerous, discrete, rounded, convex, greenish soralia. No lichen substances were detected by TLC. Chaenotheca phaeocephala (Turner) Th.Fr. The species is very rarely noted in CER; it was recently reported from Belgorod (Muchnik et al. 2007) and Tver (Notov et al. 2011) oblasts. Chaenotheca phaeocephala is an indicator species of old-growth and undisturbed forest communities in northwestern European Russia (Himelbrant & Kuznetsova 2009) and the same applies to its occurrences in CER. Specimen examined: Voronezh oblast, Gribanovskiy region, 51°20'12''N/41°58'9''E, Tellermanovskoye experimental forestry of the Institute of Forest Science of RAS, 38 sq., old-growth oak forest, on bark of old oak, 12.08.2018., leg. and det. EM (LE L-15027) Chaenotheca subroscida (Eitner) Zahlbr. This species was recently reported from Tsentralno-Lesnoy State Nature Biosphere Reserve and Zavidovo National Park in Tver oblast (Notov et al. 2011). Chaenotheca subroscida is an indicator species of old-growth and undisturbed forest communities in northwestern European Russia (Himelbrant & Kuznetsova 2009). The habitat in Moscow oblast in which the species is found cannot be described as undisturbed. Specimen examined: Moscow oblast, Stupinskiy region, 54°55'45''N/38°10'21.4''E, near Staraya Sitnya village, State Nature Reserve of regional level “Valtsovskiy”, bank of Kashirka river, old forest in a floodplain, on bark of alder, 01.06.2017, leg. EM, det. AP (LE L-14977). Cladonia cryptochlorophaea Asahina In CER, the species was previously reported from Ryazan and Voronezh oblasts (Muchnik & Konoreva 2012, Muchnik 2017). Specimen examined: Bryansk oblast, Suzemskiy region, 52°26'23.2''N/34°7'28.7''E, “Bryanskiy les” State Nature Reserve, Visit Centre, Ecological path, pine forest, on mossy and sandy soil, 30.08.2018, leg. EM, det. AT and EM, TLC 205-03: cryptochlorophaeic, paludosic, 4-O-methylcryptochlorophaeic and fumarprotocetraric acids (LE L-15028). Cladonia merochlorophaea Asahina In CER, C. merochlorophaea was previously recorded only from Kaluga region (Gudovicheva & Himelbrant 2012). However, this common species (e.g. Tsurykau & Golubkov 2015) is probably widely distributed within the study area. The revision of further herbarium material will provide us with a more accurate picture of the distribution of C. merochlorophaea in CER. Specimens examined: Ryazan oblast, Klepikovskiy region, “Meshcherskiy” National Park, 55°18'20''N/40°15'25''E, near Chyornoye village, pine forest, edge of a bog, on rotten wood, 07.08.2018, leg. M.V. Kazakova, det. AT and EM, TLC 205-08 (LE L-15029); Bryansk oblast, Bryanskiy region, 53°10'33''N/34°21'12.8''E, near Sven’ station, pine forest, on sandy soil, 25.08.2018, leg. EM, det. AT and EM, TLC 205-19 (BRSU); Bryansk oblast, Navlinskiy district, 52°48'8.7''N/34°32'13.7''E, at the turn from the M3 highway to the village of Shcheglovka, pine forest edge, 27.08.2018, leg. Yu.A. Semenishchenkov, det. AT and EM, TLC 205-19 (BRSU). All specimens yielded merochlorophaeic, 4-O-methylcryptochlorophaeic, fumarprotocetraric acids by TLC. Epicladonia sandstedei (Zopf) D.Hawksw. The species is widely distributed in Russia (Zhurbenko & Pino-Bodas 2017). In CER, this lichenicolous fungus is known from the Mordovskiy Reserve, Republic of Mordovia (Urbanavichene & Urbanavichus 2016). Specimen examined: Bryansk oblast, Navlinskiy region, 52°48'8.7''N/34°32'13.7''E, at the turn from the M3 highway to the village of Shcheglovka, pine forest edge, on thalli of Cladonia merochlorophaea, 27.08.2018, leg. Yu.A. Semenishchenkov, det. AT (LE M-309673). Gyalecta flotowii Körb. Gyalecta flotowii is very rarely noted in CER, this record is only the second for this territory. The species was recently reported from Tver oblast, Tsentralno-Lesnoy State Nature Biospheric Reserve (Notov et al. 2011).

Specimen examined: Voronezh oblast, Gribanovskiy region, 51°20'42.5''N/41°57'0.6''E, Tellermanovskoye experimental forestry of the Institute of Forest Science of RAS, 34 sq., old-growth oak forest, on bark of maple, 10.08.2018, leg. and det. EM (LE L-15032) Gyalecta truncigena (Ach.) Hepp. This species has a wider distribution than the previous one (Gagarina 2015). Gyalecta truncigena is an indicator of old-growth and undisturbed forest communities in northwestern European Russia (Himelbrant & Kuznetsova 2009). In CER it was recently reported from Tver (Notov et al. 2011) and Yaroslavl (Muchnik et al. 2009b) oblasts. Specimen examined: Voronezh oblast, Gribanovskiy region, 51°20'12''N/41°58'9''E, Tellermanovskoye experimental forestry of the Institute of Forest Science of RAS, 38 sq., old-growth oak forest, on bark of maple, 12.08.2018, leg. and det. EM (LE L-15033) Hypogymnia farinacea Zopf In CER, Hypogymnia farinacea was heretofore known only from Tver oblast (Notov et al. 2011). The record from Moscow oblast (Byazrov 2009) is erroneous. When adding this species into the list of the Moscow region, Byazrov (2009) referred to the work of Tolpysheva (1993) who actually indicated that the specimen mentioned as H. farinacea was identified incorrectly and does not belong to this species. Specimens examined: Lipetsk oblast, Chaplyginskiy region, 53°26'24''N/39°33'28''E, near Denisovka village, birch plantations, on bark of birch, 09.07.2018, leg. and det. EM (LE-L 15031); Ryazan oblast, Myloslavskiy region, 53°26'23.6''N/39°33'28.2''E, 29.07.2018, leg. and det. EM (RSU). Illosporiopsis christiansenii (B.L. Brady & D. Hawksw.) D. Hawksw. This common lichenicolous fungus is widely distributed throughout Russia (Zhurbenko & Kobzeva 2016). In CER, however, it was previously recorded only from Tver oblast (Notov et al. 2011). Specimen examined: Voronezh oblast, Gribanovskiy region, 51°19'13''N/41°54'9.5''E, Tellerman Experimental Forestry of the Institute of Forest Science RAS, 71 sq., oak forest, on thalli of Physcia sp., 11.08.2018, leg. EM, det. AT (LE-M 309674). Julella fallaciosa (Stizenb. ex Arnold) R.C. Harris [=Polyblastiopsis fallaciosa (Stiz.) Zahlbr.] This species was previously reported from Voronezh (Tomin 1926) and Moscow (Byazrov 2009) oblasts. Julella fallaciosa is probably a more common species than publications would indicate, but it is usually skipped by lichenologists due to its small perithecia (Kopaczevskaja 1977). Specimen examined: Bryansk oblast, Navlinskiy region, 52°43'00.4''N/34°22'37.9''E, Navlinskoye forestry, Shcheglovskoye plot forestry, 39 quarter, Nature Monument “Boloto Ryzhukha”, forest bog, on birch bark, 25.10.2017, leg. EM, det. G.P. Urbanavichus (LE L-14976). Perithecia hemispherical, black, dull, 0.2– 0.3 mm in diameter, initially immersed, then superficial. Involucrellum dark, up to 0.8 mm in diameter (Fig. 6A). True exciple dark brown to black. Paraphyses simple, slightly branched. Asci cylindrical, 8-spored, 60 –100 x 15 –20 µm. Spores hyaline, 3 –5-septate to submuriform, 14 –22 × 6 –11 µm (Fig. 6B). Lecanora compallens Herk & Aptroot Lecanora cf. compallens has been previously reported for CER by Muchnik & Konoreva (2012) from Ryazan oblast. Here we report L. compallens as new to Bryansk and Voronezh oblasts. The species is probably widely distributed in the study area, but is under-collected. In other parts of Europe, the species is very common and inhabits flat surfaces of bark scales in humid and medium-humid forests (e.g. van Herk & Aptroot 1999, Kowalewska & Kukwa 2003, Edwards et al. 2009, Stepanchikova et al. 2011, Tsurykau et al., 2014). Specimens examined: Bryansk oblast, Trubchevskiy region, 52°29'55''N/33°58'31''E, “Bryanskiy les” State Nature Reserve, 55 sq., mixed birch and spruce forest, on bark of birch, 24.10.2017, leg. EM, det. AP, TLC 22- 15 (LE L-15035); ib. Navlinskiy region, 52°43'00.4''N/34°22'37.9''E, Navlinskoye forestry, Shcheglovskoye plot forest, 39 quarter, the Monument of Nature “Boloto Ryzhukha”, forest bog, on bark of ash, 25.10.2017, leg.

All the cited specimens have sterile, crustose, white-grey thallus, yellowish-green, confluent soralia and contain usnic acid together with zeorin. The species most similar to L. compallens is L. expallens Ach. which differs chemically by producing thiophanic acid and other xanthones in addition to usnic acid and zeorin (van Herk & Aptroot 1999, Edwards et al. 2009). Micarea tomentosa Czarnota & Coppins Micarea tomentosa was recently reported from the Mordovskiy State Nature Reserve, Republic of Mordovia (Urbanavichene & Urbanavichus 2017). This species occurs mostly within large complexes of natural forest ecosystems, especially in protected nature reserves (Kukwa et al. 2008, Urbanavichene & Urbanavichus 2017). Our record is in agreement with this assumption. Specimen examined: Moscow oblast, Odintsovskiy region, 55°44'9.5''N/37°17'57.4''E, Serebryanoborskoye experimental forestry of the Institute of Forest Science RAS, 56 quarter, State Nature Reserve of regional level “Lesa Serebryanoborskogo lesnichestva”, pine forest, on a base of old pine, 03.06.2015, leg. and det. EM (LE L-14975) Thallus bright green, granular, thin. Photobiont micareoid; cells ±globose, 3 –7 µm diam. Apothecia absent in our specimen. Pycnidia numerous, globose, sessile to shortly stalked, pale, whitish-grey to grey, distinctly tomentose. Pycnidial wall K± violet. Conidia 2–3 × 1–1.5 µm [(2.98 –)3.2–3.5(–3.77) × 1.23 –1.5(–1.65) µm according to Czarnota 2007]. Micarea tomentosa is characterized by a coloured thallus composed of larger granules than the goniocysts of the closely related M. hedlundii, which has similar, stalked, tomentose pycnidia. The dull orange ‘Intrusa-yellow’ pigment (reacting K + violet, C+ violet) within the goniocysts is absent, in contrast to M. hedlundii. A yellow-olive pigment inside the pycnidial walls reacts K± violet or violet- grey. In contrast to Micarea prasina, which produces micareic acid, M. tomentosa does not contain any substances detectable by TLC (Coppins 1983, Czarnota 2007). Muellerella hospitans Stizenb. In CER, this host-specific lichenicolous fungus was previously reported from Kaluga oblast only (Gudovicheva et al. 2015). Specimens examined: Voronezh oblast, Gribanovskiy region, 51°20'42.5''N/41°57'0.6''E, Tellermanovskoye experimental forestry of the Institute of Forest Science of RAS, 34 sq., old-growth oak forest, on apothecia of Bacidia rubella, 10.08.2018.
