Ossowska E.A., Szczepańska K., Kossowska M., Szymczyk R., Reszewicz D., Jabłońska A. & Kukwa M. (2026): Mycobiont and photobiont DNA barcoding revealed polymetallic rocks to be a rich source of specific lichen diversity, Scientific Reports, 16: 31408 [24 p.]

The main goal of the present study is to investigate the diversity of mycobionts and photobionts of rock-inhabiting lichens in pyrite-bearing schist outcrops in the Rudawy Janowickie Mts of the Sudety Mountains, also known as the Coloured Lakelets. Morphological, chemical, and molecular methods were used to determine lichen samples. A total of 41 lichen taxa were found in the study area, and 116 nuITS mycobiont sequences were obtained. The presented data constitute the first molecular evidence of … Read more...

Frenák R., Vaneková Z., Lager S., Medvecová V., Kello M., Rollinger J.M. & Goga M. (2026): Lichens as a source of nematocidal compounds: Identification of sphaerophorin and divaricatic acid active against Caenorhabditis elegans, ACS Omega, 11(38): 57213–57221

Increasing helminth drug resistance necessitates novel anthelmintic agents. Lichens, historically used to treat parasitic infections, represent a promising natural resource. This study evaluated eight lichen extracts and 17 metabolites against the model organism Caenorhabditis elegans (wild-type strain N2). Extracts of Hypogymnia physodes, Nephroma arcticum, and Stereocaulon grande showed significant efficacy, while Sphaerophorus fragilis and Ophioparma ventosa caused 100% nematode mortality on day … Read more...

Seven lichen (including two “semilichen”) species, ten lichenicolous fungi and one related saprotrophic fungus were recorded for the first time in the Leningrad Region or Saint Petersburg. The lichen Micarea myriocarpa and the lichenicolous fungus Tremella anaptychiae are new to Russia. The lichenicolous fungi Arrhenia peltigerina s. lat., Cladosporium licheniphilum, and Unguiculariopsis lettaui are new to European Russia. The species Amandinea pelidna, Coppinsiella ulcerosa, Cryptodiscus foveolaris, … Read more...

Howland J.W. (2026): Sclerophora coniophaea, a rare calicioid lichen newly reported from the Adirondack Mountains of New York, Opuscula Philolichenum, 25: 397–402

Sclerophora coniophaea, a calicioid lichen, is reported for the first time from New York State and the contiguous United States of America. During lichen inventories of 31 mature and old-growth stands in the Adirondack and Catskill Forest Preserves, the species was found at two sites, both in the Adirondack Mountains. These records extend the known range of S. coniophaea in eastern North America substantially south and inland from previously documented occurrences in New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, and … Read more...

'Proposal for a new red list of lichens in Poland for 2025 – discussion materials' [in Polish with English summary: ] Almost 20 years have passed since the last edition of the Red List of Threatened Lichens in Poland. During this time, significant changes have occurred on several levels, rendering the list outdated and no longer reflecting the actual threat to the country’s lichen biota. Over these 20 years, habitat conditions have changed – acidification has been replaced by hypertrophication. … Read more...

Möller E.J., Brinker S.R., Charalambous N., Haugan R. & Timdal E. (2026): Rhizocarpon ecorticatum sp. nov., with notes on the sorediate, yellow map lichens, Graphis Scripta, 38(6): 132–146

A phylogenetic reconstruction of the Rhizocarpon geographicum group based on the ITS marker recovers sorediate specimens in two highly supported clades. The clades are not phylogenetic sisters and are regarded as two species hypotheses. The three available names for sorediate, yellow Rhizocarpon species, R. ridescens, R. sorediosum, and R. subconglomeratum are regarded as synonyms, with the first mentioned as the correct name for one of the hypotheses. The second species hypothesis is described as … Read more...
