Novel species of fungi described in this study include those from various countries as follows: Argentina , Neocamarosporium halophilum leaf spots Atriplex undulata . Australia Aschersonia merianiae on scale insect ( Coccoidea ), Curvularia huamulaniae isolated air, Hevansia mainiae dead spider, Ophiocordyceps poecilometigena Poecilometis sp. Bolivia Lecanora menthoides sandstone, open semi-desert montane areas, Sticta monlueckiorum corticolous a forest, Trichonectria epimegalosporae...
Abstract Fungi are one of the most diverse groups organisms with an estimated number species in range 2–3 million. The higher-level ranking fungi has been discussed framework molecular phylogenetics since Hibbett et al., and definition higher ranks (e.g., phyla) ‘true fungi’ have revised several subsequent publications. Rapid accumulation novel genomic data advancements now facilitate a robust precise foundation for classification within kingdom. This study provides updated kingdom , drawing...
Two additional species of Sticta are described as new to science based on material from Bolivia and Peru supported by phylogenetic analysis the fungal ITS barcoding marker. The two represent lineages within clade I global phylogeny. Stictaflakusiorum Ossowska, B. Moncada & Lücking is a in S.humboldtii morphodeme characterized lobes partly entirely covered with white hairs, also covering margins submarginal laminal apothecia, scabrid basal membrane cyphellae, which yellow, or brown, when...
Four species of the genus
Six species of Sticta are described as new to science on the basis material from Bolivia and supported by phylogenetic analysis fungal ITS barcoding marker. The were resolved in all three clades (I, II, III) widespread common Neotropics, defined an earlier study genus. Comparison with neighbouring countries (i.e. Colombia, Ecuador, Peru) suggests that these may be potentially endemic Bolivian Yungas ecoregion. For each species, a detailed morphological anatomical description is given....
To test the taxonomic significance of secondary chemistry (particularly lobaric acid and fatty acids) pruina in Parmelia ernstiae, P. saxatilis, serrana, submontana sulcata Europe, 3684 specimens were analysed morphologically chemically, 82 ITS rDNA sequences prepared. A comparison resulting phylogram with production metabolites (P. saxatilis group) intensity presence thallus (all five species) show that occurs only three species, but its is variable within them. Fatty acids are restricted...
<em>Parmelia serrana</em> A. Crespo, M.C. Molina &amp; D. Hawksw. is reported here for the first time from Poland. The species has been recorded more than 20 localities and exclusively on bark of trees. Its general distribution, habitat requirements, morphology, secondary chemistry are provided differences between this similar taxa, especially <em>P. saxatilis</em> ernstiae</em>, discussed.
Two isidiate species, Sticta arenosella and S. cellulosa, are reported from South America for the first time former species also as new to Southern Hemisphere. was found in Chile celulosa Bolivia. The identification of both confirmed by sequencing nuITS rDNA marker, a universal barcode fungi, haplotype network analyses. Specimen possess sparse apothecia, which previously have not been observed this species.
Loxospora cristinae sp. nov. is a sterile corticolous lichen characterized by sorediate, thin, smooth, folded, cracked-areolate and non-verruculose to partly verruculose thalli, soralia soon becoming confluent the production of 2’-O-methylperlatolic acid. The new species similar recently described L. assateaguensis confusa, which are also contain can be readily distinguished from thallus, distinctly almost edge pustular, circular developing apically on thalline verrucae, confusa presence...
To evaluate the importance of morphological and chemical characters used in recognition species within Parmelia omphalodes group, we performed phylogenetic, analyses 335 specimens, which 34 were for molecular analyses. Phylogenetic analyses, based on ITS rDNA sequences, show that P. pinnatifida is distinct from most important difference between those development pseudocyphellae. In , they are mostly marginal form white rims along lobes margins, but laminal pseudocyphellae can develop older...
Ossowska, E. & Kukwa, M. 2016. Parmelia barrenoae and P. pinnatifida, two lichen species new to Poland. — Herzogia 29: 198–203.Parmelia pinnatifida are reported as is known from 85 records widely distributed throughout by contrast, a rare recorded only in mountain areas. The general distribution of both species, their habitat requirements, morphology, secondary chemistry, differences compared similar taxa discussed.

The first records of<i> Parmelia ernstiae</i> from Madeira, as well the new localities of <i>P. encryptata</i> Poland and sulcata</i> Chile, are presented. All confirmed by molecular data, BLAST search, haplotype network analysis nucITS rDNA sequences. discussion on morphology secondary chemistry all three species is provided with notes their distribution similar taxa. <i>Parmelia a rarely reported cryptic that morphologically indistinguishable...
The first records of Sticta weigelii s.str. from Bolivia confirmed by molecular data are presented. species is characterized the presence marginal isidia, which darker than thallus, usually cylindrical (not flattened), thin, dark brown to black lower tomentum and often partly yellow cyphellae. Previously, S. in was based only on a morphological concept, encompassing various unrelated species, whereas occurrence uncertain.
The first records of Sticta andina and S. scabrosa subsp. from Bolivia are presented. All confirmed by molecular data. has flattened, marginal isidia phyllidia with abundant, submarginal apothecia, while tomentum is dark brown to black, whereas, laminal pale dark, grey tomentum. Two Bolivian specimens the latter possess sparse, which previously have not been observed in this species. haplotype network indicates that three haplotypes, two different those reported. In case scabrosa, haplotypes...

The paper reports new localities of lichens <em>Parmelia ernstiae</em> and <em>P. serrana</em> in Poland. Both species are reported for the first time from Polish part Sudety Mountains (southwestern country). were found area Sowie (central Mts) as well Śnieżnik Massif Bialskie (eastern Mts). Most recorded specimens associated with bark <em>Acer platanoides</em> <em>A. pseudoplatanus</em>. still poorly known Poland often confused similar taxon...

The analysis of the interaction between main bionts (mycobiont and photobiont) in lichen symbiosis delivers substantial information about their preferences selection symbiotic partners, ecological preferences. selectivity Parmelia genus has been defined as strong so far. However, data on this genus, which includes several widely distributed species, are biogeographically limited. Therefore, using specialization indicators extended sampling, study, we estimated interactions selected spp., two...
The paper presents two saxicolous species of the family Megasporaceae, <i>Aspicilia fluviatilis</i> and <i>Circinaria leprosescens</i>, discovered as new to Poland. is a rare, arctic-alpine with elongated marginal areoles, occurs only in marine strongly nitrophilous habitats often found sterile granular isidiate upper cortex. identity <i>C. leprosescens</i> was confirmed by molecular data, BLAST searches haplotype network analysis based on nucITS rDNA...
