The number of undescribed species lichenized fungi has been estimated at roughly 10,000. Describing and cataloging these would take the existing taxonomists several decades; however, support for taxonomy is in decline worldwide. In this paper we emphasize dire need taxonomic expertise lichenology. We bring together 103 colleagues from institutions worldwide to describe a total 100 new fungi, representing wide geographic range. newly described are: Acarospora flavisparsa, A. janae,...
As part of a larger systematic and taxonomic revision, including molecular phylogenetic analysis, lichenized Basidiomycota in the Dictyonema clade, ten species are described as new from tropical America, seven foliose genus Cora three filamentous Dictyonema: arachnoidea J. E. Hern. & Lücking, sp. nov., C. aspera Wilk, Lücking Morales, byssoidea Moncada, cyphellifera Dal-Forno, Bungartz inversa squamiformis Yánez-Ayabaca, strigosa Paz L. Salcedo, aeruginosulum Nelsen Will-Wolf, D....
Abstract We provide an expanded and updated, 2-locus phylogeny (mtSSU, nuLSU) of the lichenized fungal family Trypetheliaceae , with a total 196 ingroup OTUs, in order to further refine generic delimitations species concepts this family. As result, following 15 clades are recognized as separate genera, including five newly established genera: Aptrootia Architrypethelium Astrothelium (including bulk corticate astrothelioid ascospores; synonyms: Campylothelium Cryptothelium Laurera ),...

A survey of the parmotremoid lichens occurring in central area Rio Grande do Sul State (Brazil) revealed 31 species Parmotrema A. Massal., distributed three groups corresponding to former genera Canomaculina Elix & Hale, s. str. and Rimelia Hale Fletcher. All are described, illustrated, commented special notes compare similar as an aid identification.
Abstract Based on separately obtained and analyzed molecular data within the framework of a global revision family Trypetheliaceae , 21 new species are described, from Neotropics tropical Asia, in genera Architrypethelium (1), Astrothelium (15), Bathelium Nigrovothelium Trypethelium Viridothelium (2), namely: lauropaluanum Lücking, M. P. Nelsen & Marcelli sp. nov., differing A. hyalinum perithecia immersed between coarse thallus verrucae additional ascospore septa; aurantiacocinereum...
The group of Leptogium species with spherical-celled hairs (i.e., sect Mallotium) is revised and identification keys for fertile sterile specimens are provided based on morphological anatomical characteristics. Apothecial tissues important in differentiation related to the type columnar hyphae thallus. Mallotium can be readily differentiated by surface morphology, architecture hairs, distribution isidia lobules, hyphae, features apothecial tissues. thallus L. inflexum lacks marginal...
(Gêneros de Fungos Liquenizados dos Manguezais do Sul-Sudeste Brasil, com enfoque no manguezal Rio Itanhaém, Estado São Paulo). Foi realizado um levantamento gêneros fungos liquenizados Itanhaém. A única lista conhecida para os manguezais sul-sudeste brasileiro foi publicada por Marcelli em 1992, especial atenção ao sendo que vários então conhecidos tiveram suas posições taxonômicas revistas, grande número dividido outros nos últimos anos. O objetivo deste trabalho realizar novo o também as...
Lichenized fungi are epiphytic components of forest areas where anthropogenic activities may cause changes in species composition and spatial distribution. The aim this work is to evaluate how the lichen community distributed on native planted vegetation, also investigate possible preferences for specific host trees related bark pH values. A total 120 host-trees 12 remnants vegetation were analyzed: Araucaria Araucaria, pine eucalyptus plantations. Additional samples lichenized collected all...
O levantamento das espécies pertencentes aos gêneros de grandes parmélias do litoral centro-sul Estado São Paulo revelou a ocorrência sete Parmotrema (talos foliosos lobos arredondados em geral com mais 0,5 cm larg. margens inferiores não rizinadas) contendo como constituintes químicos medulares os ácidos girofórico e lecanórico, tipicamente reconhecidos pela cor avermelhada que resulta dos testes coloração hipoclorito cálcio. apresentados uma chave identificação, descrições, comentários...
O levantamento das espécies pertencentes aos gêneros de grandes parmélias do litoral centro-sul Estado São Paulo revelou a ocorrência nove Parmotrema sensu stricto (talos foliosos lobos arredondados em geral com mais 0,5 cm larg. margens inferiores não rizinadas) contendo como constituintes químicos medulares os ácidos norstíctico ou salazínico. tipicamente reconhecidos pela cor amarela que se torna avermelhada resultante dos testes coloração hidróxido potássio. apresentados uma chave...
Leptogium subjuressianum and L. var. caparoense are new Brazilian taxa growing mostly in the southeastern mountains. They differentiated from European by ornamentation of upper surface.

Mass. com córtex superior reticuladomaculado, anteriormente incluídas gênero Rimelia Hale & Fletcher. Chave identificação, descrições, comentários e ilustrações são apresentados, base material encontrado.
