Opuscula Philolichenum, 6: 1-XXXX
Opuscula Philolichenum, 15: 56-81. 2016. *pdf effectively published online 25July2016 via (http://sweetgum.nybg.org/philolichenum/) Lichens, lichenicolous fungi, and allied fungi of Pipestone National Monument, Minnesota, U.S.A., revisited M.K. ADVAITA, CALEB A. MORSE1,2 AND DOUGLAS LADD3 ABSTRACT. – A total of 154 lichens, four lichenicolous fungi, and one allied fungus were collected by the authors from 2004 to 2015 from Pipestone National Monument (PNM), in Pipestone County, on the Prairie Coteau of southwestern Minnesota. Twelve additional species collected by previous researchers, but not found by the authors, bring the total number of taxa known for PNM to 171. This represents a substantial increase over previous reports for PNM, likely due to increased intensity of field work, and also to the marked expansion of corticolous and anthropogenic substrates since the site was first surveyed in 1899. Reexamination of 116 vouchers deposited in MIN and the PNM herbarium led to the exclusion of 48 species previously reported from the site. Crustose lichens are the most common growth form, comprising 65% of the lichen diversity. Sioux Quartzite provided substrate for 43% of the lichen taxa collected. Saxicolous lichen communities were characterized by sampling four transects on cliff faces and low outcrops. An annotated checklist of the lichens of the site is provided, as well as a list of excluded taxa. We report 24 species (including 22 lichens and two lichenicolous fungi) new for Minnesota: Acarospora boulderensis, A. contigua, A. erythrophora, A. strigata, Agonimia opuntiella, Arthonia clemens, A. muscigena, Aspicilia americana, Bacidina delicata, Buellia tyrolensis, Caloplaca flavocitrina, C. lobulata, C. -

AUSTRALASIAN LICHENOLOGY 83, July 2018 AUSTRALASIAN
The striking red pigments in the apothecia of species of Haematomma are concentrated mostly in the epihymenium above the tips of the asci. In this Haematomma persoonii the pigment is a tetracyclic anthraquinone called russulone. The compound has been found in the epihymenia of eight of Australia’s 13 known species of the genus. Haematomma persoonii colonizes bark in the woodlands and forests of eastern Queensland and New South Wales in Australia. Elsewhere in the world it occurs in all of the Americas, plus several sites in Africa and the Pacific. 1 mm CONTENTS ARTICLES Elix, JA; Mayrhofer, H; Rodriguez, JM—Two new species, a new combination and four new records of saxicolous buellioid lichens (Ascomycota, Caliciaceae) from southern South America ............................................................................................... 3 McCarthy, PM; Elix, JA—Sclerophyton puncticulatum sp. nov.

Catalogue of Lichenized and Lichenicolous Fungi of Morocco
Bocconea 6 - 1996 19 José M. Egea Catalogue of lichenized and lichenicolous fungi of Morocco Abstract Egea. J. M.: Catalogue of lichenized and lichenicolous fungi of Morocco. - Bocconea 6: 19- I 14. 1996. - ISSN I 120-4060. This checklist of lichens and lichenicolous fungi of Morocco. based on a criticai assessment of literature data. inc\udes 210 genera and 1100 infrageneric taxa, 1058 of which correspond to lichenized and 42 to lichenicolous fungi. The Rif, with 549 infrageneric taxa, and the NW CentraI Region, with 531 taxa, are the two parts of thc country with the highest number of known taxa. They are followed by CentraI Atlas (395), Gran Atlas (297), Anti Alias (267). SW Centrai Region (188) and SW Region (116). The High Plains (45) and the area cali ed Hammadas (23), are the two subdivisions with the lowest number of taxa. Introduction This first-approximation checklist oì' lichenized and lichenicolous fungi of Morocco has been compiled as a contribution to the project for a generaI checklist of Mediterranean countries, supported by the Commission for Lichens of OPTIMA. The catalogue includes 210 genera and 1100 infrageneric taxa, 1058 of which correspond to lichenized and 42 to lichenicolous fungi. More than half of the taxa (590) belong to 16 genera, the richest genera being Lecanora (88 taxa), Caloplaca (85 taxa), Verrucaria (44 taxa), Acarospora (38 taxa), Ramalina (35 taxa). The list of lichenized fungi also includes some non-Iichenized, lichenicolous species belonging to genera with a prevalence of lichenizcd species. The first lichen records from Morocco were published by Miiller Argoviensis (1879, 1883), who identified some material collected in 1875 by M. -
Ozark Lichens
PRELIMINARY DRAFT: OZARK LICHENS Enumerating the lichens of the Ozark Highlands of Arkansas, Illinois, Kansas, Missouri, and Oklahoma Prepared for the 14 th Tuckerman Lichen Workshop Eureka Springs, Arkansas October 2005 Corrected printing November 2005 Richard C. Harris New York Botanical Garden Douglas Ladd The Nature Conservancy Supported by the National Science Foundation grant 0206023 INTRODUCTION Well known as a biologically unique region North America, the Ozarks were long neglected from a lichenological standpoint. Systematic surveys and collecting work were initiated in the Missouri portion of the Ozarks in the early1980's, and were subsequently expanded to encompass the entire Ozark ecoregion, including small portions of Kansas and Illinois, and significant portions of Arkansas, Missouri and Oklahoma. These efforts have revealed a surprisingly rich diversity of lichens in the region, including a significant number of undescribed taxa. Despite considerable field work in every county in the region, new records continue to be found at a distressing rate, and we cannot yet state the total diversity of Ozark lichen biota. This draft is a tentative first attempt to provide a comprehensive treatment of the lichens of the Ozarks. Included here are general keys, brief synopses of genera, key to species within each genus with more than one Ozark taxon, and summaries of the Ozark distribution and ecology of each species, sometimes accompanied by more detailed taxonomic descriptions and other comments. As will be immediately evident to the reader, this draft is being rushed into preliminary distribution to be available for testing at the 2005 Tuckerman Lichen Workshop in the Ozarks. Hence a few disclaimers are stressed: this is an uneven treatment, in that some genera have been carefully studied, with detailed species descriptions and ecological profiles, while other groups are still problematical, with more cursory and provisional treatments. -

Annotated Checklist of Hongkong Lichens
57 Tropical Bryology 17: 57-101, 1999 Annotated checklist of Hongkong Lichens André Aptroot Centraalbureau voor Schimmelcultures, P.O. Box 273, NL-3740 AG Baarn, The Netherlands Mark R.D. Seaward Department of Environmental Science, University of Bradford, Bradford, West Yorkshire BD7 1DP, United Kingdom Abstract. An annotated checklist of the lichens of Hong Kong, based on all available literature reports and specimens, including those recently collected by the authors, is presented. In total, 261 species are reported, of which 176 are new records for Hong Kong, 132 of which are new for China, 43 are new for East Asia, and 27 are new for Asia. The lichen vegetation is mainly tropical, as is shown by the distribution patterns of the identified species: 53 species are cosmopolitan, 40 northern temperate, 122 pantropical, 17 paleotropical and 29 endemic to tropical East Asia. With regard to substrata, 129 species are corticolous, 148 saxicolous, 17 foliicolous and 19 terricolous. Four species are newly described: Anisomeridium conorostratum Aptroot, A. hydei Aptroot, Caloplaca pulicarioides Aptroot and Placidiopsis poronioides Aptroot. The flora is rather poor in species; for example, no Caliciales have been found. In the past, the numbers of species of several groups such as the Graphidaceae, Heterodermia and Xanthoparmelia have been overestimated, whereas few pyrenocarps have been reported. The flora of wet granitic outcrops is surprisingly well developed in Hong Kong. Although not a single Peltula species was reported before, six species were identified, including one that was previously only known from Africa. In addition, several other cyanophilic genera are present, such as Euopsis, Psorotichia, Pyrenopsis and, most unexpectedly, Vestergrenopsis, each with one species. -
Constancea 85: Tucker, Catalog of California Lichens
Constancea 85, 2014 University and Jepson Herbaria California Lichen Catalog CATALOG OF LICHENS, LICHENICOLES AND ALLIED FUNGI IN CALIFORNIA (second revision) Shirley C. Tucker Cheadle Center for Biodiversity, Department of Ecology, Evolution & Marine Biology, University of California, Santa Barbara, CA 93106–9610 USA; Santa Barbara Botanic Garden, Santa Barbara, CA; and Department of Biological Sciences, Louisiana State University, Baton Rouge, LA 70803 [email protected] Type all or part of a lichen name into the search box. search ABSTRACT This second revision of the California lichen catalog reports 1,869 taxa at species level and below (of which 58 are recognized at the level of variety, subspecies, or forma) for the state, an increase of about 295 taxa since 2006, and 565 taxa since the 1979 catalog. The number of genera is 340, an increase of 43 since 2006. The lichen flora of California includes about 35% of the 5,246 species and 52% of the 646 genera reported for the continental United States and Canada. All known references are given that cite each species as occurring in California. Synonyms are cross-referenced to the current names. Accepted names are listed first, followed by names of taxa that are either excluded or not confirmed. The bibliography includes 1158 publications pertaining to California lichens (citations through 2011, and some from 2012). Key words: California; Flora; Lichens; Lichenicoles The 34 years since publication of the first catalog of California lichens (Tucker & Jordan 1979) have seen enormous changes in accepted names of lichens, particularly an increase in generic names. The Tucker & Jordan catalog was originally based on literature records assembled by William A. -
A Preliminary List of the Lichens of New York
Opuscula Philolichenum, 1: 55-74. 2004. A Preliminary List of the Lichens of New York RICHARD C. HARRIS1 ABSTRACT. – A list of 808 species and 7 subspecific taxa of lichens known to the author to occur in New York state is presented. The new combination Myriospora immersa (Fink ex J. Hedrick) R. C. Harris is made. The rationale for publishing this admittedly incomplete list of New York's lichens is that I am unlikely to ever have time to improve it significantly. The list has been accumulated more or less haphazardly over a period of twenty plus years. Many problems have been left unresolved. It is largely based on specimens held by The New York Botanical Garden (NY), Brooklyn Botanic Garden (BKL) and Buffalo Museum of Science (BUF), to a lesser extent Cornell University (CUP) and Farlow Herbarium, Harvard University (FH) and a few from New York State Museum (NYS) . The holdings of the New York State Museum represent a large collection not yet fully studied and will surely add significantly to knowledge of the state's lichen diversity. Surviving specimens for the earliest publication on New York lichens by Halsey (1824) are yet to be studied. Voucher information is available from the author upon request. The collections in BKL and BUF have been databased and copies can also be made available. For those interested, the history of lichenology in New York has been summarized by LaGreca (2001). Some literature records have been included if I consider them reliable, i.e., Brodo (1968) or significant, i.e., Lowe (1939). No doubt I have missed some worthy literature records in recent revisions. -

Introduction The genus Buellia includes a large, heterogeneous assemblage of mostly crustose lichens with a chlorococcoid photobiont, lecideine to biatorine apothecia, and usually Bacidia-type asci with 1-septate, dark-pigmented ascospores. Research on buellioid lichens over the last decade or so has led to the segregation of several well- defined groups of species as separate genera, particularly for the corticolous species (Marbach 2000). Thus Buellia in the strict sense is now limited to species with Callispora-type ascospores, bacilliform or weakly clavate conidia and a hymenium usually inspersed with oil droplets (Bungartz et al. -

STENSVOLD Alaska Region, USDA Forest Service, 204 Siginaka Way, Sitka, Alaska 99835, USA ABSTRACT A checklist of 508 lichen and allied fungal species with regional habitat, distribution and abundance information has been compiled for southeastern Alaska. The lichen flora of this region is a rich mixture of Pacific Northwest temperate rain forest and Arctic components, and is enhanced by topographic and habitat variations within the region. Great expanses of old-growth forests and excellent air quality provide habitat for many lichens elsewhere rare or imperiled. New to Alaska are: Biatora cuprea, Biatoropsis usnearum, Calicium adaequatum, Candelaria concolor, Cetraria islandica ssp. orientalis, Chaenotheca brunneola, Chaenothecopsis pusilla, Cladonia dahliana, Cystocoleus ebeneus, Erioderma sorediatum, Gyalidea hyalinescens, Hydrotheria venosa, Hypocenomyce sorophora, Ionaspis lacustris, Lecanora cateilea, Lecidea albofuscescens, Leptogium brebissonii, Mycoblastus caesius, Nephroma occultum, N. sylvae-veteris, Trapeliopsis pseudogranulosa, Usnea chaetophora, U. cornuta, and U. fragilescens. New to the US are: Calicium lenticulare, Heterodermia sitchensis, Leptogium subtile, and Tremella hypogymniae. INTRODUCTION For this special volume of papers we present an updated checklist of lichens and their habitats in the southeastern region of Alaska, a state long favored by Dr.
