Lalit Mohan, Government P.G. College, Rishikesh, Dehradun, India *Corresponding Author: [email protected] (Received August 16, 2017; Accepted, December 6, 2017) Abstract The present study was conducted in the Badrinath holy pilgrimage in Western Himalaya. Lichen collected from seven localities (Badrinath, enroute Bhimpul to Vasudhara, Mana, enroute Vasudhara to Mana, Bhimpul, Vasudhara Glacier and enroute Vasudhara to Bhagirathi Glacier). The highest overall IVI (6.64) was recorded for Rhizoplaca chrysoleuca. The maximum number of lichens have been documented in Badrinath locality (139 spp.) while minimum (6) in enroute Vasudhara to Bhagirathi Glacier. The Badrinath has also express maximum 71 site specific species, while the Vasudhara Glacier has only 2 species. The dominance has been computed maximum (0.17) for enroute Vasudhara to Bhagirathi Glacier while, minimum for the Badrinath (0.01). The lowest Simpson Index value (0.83) has been recorded in enroute Vasudhara to Bhagirathi Glacier while the highest (0.99) in Badrinath. The lowest value of Berger-Parker diversity index (0.03), as well as the highest values of Brillouin, Shannon, Menhinick, Margalef and Fisher alpha diversity indices (7.20, 4.78, 8.03, 24.2 and 100.6 respectively) from the Badrinath locality, designates it as a site of highest species diversity. -

Mycosphere 10(1), 310–489, Doi 10.5943/mycosphere/10/1/7 Abstract Leotiomycetes is regarded as the inoperculate class of discomycetes within the phylum Ascomycota. Taxa are mainly characterized by asci with a simple pore blueing in Melzer’s reagent, although some taxa have lost this character. The monophyly of this class has been verified in several recent molecular studies. However, circumscription of the orders, families and generic level delimitation are still unsettled. This paper provides a modified backbone tree for the class Leotiomycetes based on phylogenetic analysis of combined ITS, LSU, SSU, TEF, and RPB2 loci. In the phylogenetic analysis, Leotiomycetes separates into 19 clades, which can be recognized as orders and order-level clades. -

Rhizocarpon Smaragdulum, a New Monosporic Yellow-Thalline Species and Some Additional Species of the Genus Rhizocarpon from the Altai Mountains (Siberia)
The Lichenologist 49(5): 457–466 (2017) © British Lichen Society, 2017 doi:10.1017/S0024282917000469 Rhizocarpon smaragdulum, a new monosporic yellow-thalline species and some additional species of the genus Rhizocarpon from the Altai Mountains (Siberia) Evgeny A. DAVYDOV and Lidia S. YAKOVCHENKO Abstract: Rhizocarpon smaragdulum Davydov & Yakovchenko sp. nov. is described and a phylogenetic analysis (ITS, mtSSU) is presented, confirming its distinctiveness and indicating a sister relationship with R. suomiense and R. subgeminatum. The species is unique among yellow Rhizocarpon species in having a single hyaline ascospore per ascus. The phylogenetic tree suggests that the number of ascospores per ascus has been reduced in Rhizocarpon more than once during the course of its evolution. Two new distributional records are also reported: Rhizocarpon atroflavescens is new for Siberia and R. norvegicum is new for the Altai Mountains. Rhizocarpon norvegicum in this region grows on rocks and is also lichenicolous on Acarospora bullata.

To increase both resolution and support on a large-scale phylogeny of lichenized and non-lichenized ascomycetes, we combined the protein coding-gene RPB2 with the traditionally used nuclear ribosomal genes SSU and LSU. Our analyses resulted in the naming of the new subclasses Acarosporomycetidae and Ostropomycetidae, and the new class Lichinomycetes, as well as the establishment of the phylogenetic placement and novel circumscription of the lichen-forming fungi family Acarosporaceae. The delimitation of this family has been problematic over the past century, because its main diagnostic feature, true polyspory (numerous spores issued from multiple post-meiosis mitoses) with over 100 spores per ascus, is probably not restricted to the Acarosporaceae. This observation was confirmed by our reconstruction of the origin and evolution of this form of true polyspory using maximum likelihood as the optimality criterion. -

Opuscula Philolichenum, 9: 77-83. 2011. A Preliminary Study of Pleopsidium stenosporum (Stizenb. ex Hasse) K. Knudsen 1 KERRY KNUDSEN ABSTRACT. – Lecanora stenospora is revised and transferred to Pleopsidium. It is known from California and Washington in western North America. The thallus morphology of the species is intermediate between P. discurrens from Tibet and P. flavum which also occurs in North America. It occurs on limestone, mafic greenstone, and probably other slightly calcareous metamorphic rocks. No collections were seen on granite, a common substrate of P. flavum. KEYWORDS. – Cascade Mountains, H.E. Hasse, Kettle Mountains, Okanogan Highlands, morphology, San Gabriel Mountains. INTRODUCTION During the writing of the Acarospora A. Massal. treatment for the Lichen Flora of the Greater Sonoran Desert Region (Knudsen 2007a), I saw a specimen of Lecanora stenospora Stizenb. ex Hasse from the San Gabriel Mountains in southern California (FH!). The small dispersed yellow areoles were round and convex to elongated and angular and it looked like a yellow Acarospora with unusual thallus morphology. The specimen was sterile. Shortly before his death, Bruce Ryan told me he had found one fertile apothecium on the specimen and it was an Acarospora. I assumed it might be some strange depauperate form of A. socialis H. Magn. or A. novomexicana H. Magn. It did not look like Pleopsidium flavum (Bellardi) Körb., the common species in North America. During my recent visits to the Farlow Herbarium I looked for the type specimen I had seen earlier but did not find it. Fortunately Frank Bungartz photographed it (fig. 1A). Ernie Brodo sent me an image of a strange Acarospora or Pleopsidium taken by Rob Schlingman, an engineer, while hiking on Mount Herman at 6000 feet in the Mount Baker Backcountry in the northern Cascades in Washington (fig.
