Hidden Species Diversity was Explored in Two Genera of Catapyrenioid Lichens (Verrucariaceae, Ascomycota) from the Deserts of China [PDF]
Journal of Fungi (Basel, Switzerland), 2022 Verrucariaceae is the third-largest lichen family with high species diversity. However, this diversity has not been well-explored in China. We carried out a wide-scale field investigation in the arid and semi-arid regions of Northwest China from 2017 to ...

Revisiting photobiont diversity in the lichen family Verrucariaceae (Ascomycota) [PDF]
European Journal of Phycology, 2011 The Verrucariaceae (Ascomycota) is a family of mostly lichenized fungi with a unique diversity of algal symbionts, including some algae that are rarely or never associated with other lichens. The phylogenetic position of most of these algae has not yet been studied and, because morphology-based identifications can often be misleading, molecular data is

A New Lichenized Fungus, Psoroglaena humidosilvae, from a Forested Wetland of Korea, with a Taxonomic Key to the Species of Psoroglaena [PDF]
Journal of Fungi, 2022 Psoroglaena humidosilvae Lee is described as a new lichen species from a wetland forest in South Korea. The new species is distinct from P. stigonemoides (Orange) Henssen by little projections locally present on the thallus; smaller, paler, and globose ...

Two New Lichen Species, Thelopsis ullungdoensis and Phylloblastia gyeongsangbukensis from Korea [PDF]
Mycobiology, 2020 Two new species, Thelopsis ullungdoensis and Phylloblastia gyeongsangbukensis are described from Ullung-Do (Island), South Korea. The closest relatives from Europe and Korea are epiphytic Thelopsis flaveola which differs by their immersed or semi ...

New Species and a New Record of the Genus Hydropunctaria from South Korea, with an Updated Key to All Known Species [PDF]
MycobiologyHydropunctaria (Verrucariaceae, Ascomycota) is currently circumscribed by 11 species, of which four are known from Asia. The taxonomy and species limits of this genus remain insufficiently understood, particularly in East Asia.

Alpine lichen diversity in an isolated sky island in the Colorado Plateau, USA-Insight from an integrative biodiversity inventory. [PDF]
Ecol Evol, 2021 Using an iterative taxonomic approach based on over 800 specimens and incorporating both traditional morphology‐based identifications and information from the standard fungal DNA barcoding marker, we compiled a voucher‐based inventory of biodiversity of lichen‐forming fungi in a geographically limited and vulnerable alpine community in an isolated sky ...

Broad Ecological Niche in Seashore Lichens Emerges From a Stable, Selective Association With Generalist Algal Symbionts. [PDF]
Ecol EvolIn mutualistic symbioses, partner flexibility often broadens the host ecological niche. We found a stable association between littoral lichens and their algal symbionts along a natural salinity gradient, suggesting that the broad ecological niche can be facilitated by association with a single generalist symbiont.
