A new species of Lecidea (Lecanorales, Ascomycota) from Pakistan [PDF]
We describe here a new species, Lecidea aptrootii, in Lecidea sensu stricto from Swat Valley, Pakistan. It is most similar to L. fuscoatra in having an areolate thallus and black, lecideine apothecia with a persistent margin. However, L. aptrootii can be

Canopy Height and Epiphytic Bryophytes Shape Fungal Communities in a Temperate Rainforest. [PDF]
We present the first investigation into epiphytic bryophyte‐associated microbes in a temperate ecosystem. Our field study reveals taxonomic and functional differences between ground‐ and canopy‐associated fungi. Host plant specificity and bryophyte senescence drive fungal diversity and community composition, indicating strong biotic drivers for fungal ...

Chromosome-level genome assembly of the photobiont microalga Trebouxia sp. 'A48' from the lichen Xanthoria parietina. [PDF]
Summary Lichens are symbiotic assemblies consisting of multiple organisms, chiefly a fungus and a photosynthetic microorganism, or photobiont. Among diverse photobionts, the most prevalent is the chlorophyte alga Trebouxia. We produced a chromosome‐level assembly of Trebouxia sp. ‘A48’, a photobiont of Xanthoria parietina. The genome was assembled into
