Atronectria thelotrematis, a lichenicolous pyrenomycete growing on Thelotrema lepadinum, is described as new to science from Chile. The species is characterized by black perithecioid ascomata; a brown, not changing color in K and lactic acid, N+ reddish orange exciple resembling textura angularis or textura epidermoidea; 0–4-septate periphyses; a I−, K/I− hymenium with rather rare lipid droplets; the absence of distinct interascal filaments; inoperculate, unitunicate, cylindrical, 8-spored, … Read more...

Endococcus grumantianus, a pyrenomycete growing on the lichen Steinia geophana as part of the soil crust, next to cyanobacteria, is described as new to science from the arctic tundra of Svalbard. The species is characterized by well-developed periphysoids, and verruculose, mainly heteropolar, relatively large ascospores, (14−)16−21(−27.5) × (6−)7.5−9.5(−11) μm, usually with one, but occasionally with 2−3 septa, which is an exception in this genus. A key for 14 Endococcus species … Read more...

Zhurbenko M.P. (2015): Sphaerellothecium siphulae (Dothideomycetes incertae sedis), a new lichenicolous fungus on Siphula ceratites from the Arctic - Nova Hedwigia, 101: 419–425

Sphaerellothecium siphulae growing on Siphula ceratites is described as new from the Russian Arctic and compared with similar species of the genus. The species is distinct by its crowded ascomata, only sometimes associated with a macroscopically visible net of dark hyphae, the absence of interascal filaments, the host genus and a strong pathogenicity. Keywords: Ascomycota; lichen parasites; new species; Russia. Read more...

Zhurbenko M.P. (2023): Contributions to the knowledge of lichenicolous fungi growing on Pannariaceae, including four new species and an identification key - Herzogia, 36(1): 131–160

Four species of lichenicolous fungi are described as new to science: Capronia marginalis (on Psoroma pallidum), with large perithecia, up to 250 μm diam., short and inconspicuous setae, a hemiamyloid hymenial gel, and light greyish orange, (0 –)3-septate ascospores with rather acute ends; Cladophialophora novozhilovii (on Psoroma hypnorum), with loose, light grey sporodochia, up to 530 μm diam., and light grey-brown, often slightly angular, 0(–1)-septate conidia; Lichenochora alaskana (on … Read more...

Zhurbenko M.P. (2023): Hidden biodiversity in herbarium collections: experience of searching for lichenicolous fungi in lichen herbaria - Новости систематики низших растений [Novosti sistematiki nizshikh rastenii] / Novitates systematicae plantarum non vascularium, 57(2): F13–F18

Lichen herbaria contain a large number of parasitic fungi accidentally collected along with lichens. Various aspects of searching for lichenicolous fungi in lichen herbaria are discussed. The productivity of such searches, including the discovery of species new to science, may be higher than when these fungi are searched in nature. In one day’s work, 20–25 specimens of lichenicolous fungi can be found in the herbarium, and 2–15 specimens can be found in field studies. Keywords: lichen … Read more...

Zhurbenko M.P. (2023): Contributions to the knowledge of lichenicolous fungi growing on Sphaerophoraceae, with a key to the species - Herzogia, 36: 504–523

Four species of lichenicolous fungi are described as new to science: Abrothallus leifidii (on Leifidium), Micarea novae-zelandiae (on Bunodophoron), Spirographa bunodophoronis (on Bunodophoron), and Umushamyces wedinii (on Bunodophoron). Pyrenocarpous ascomycete 1 (on Bunodophoron), which resembles Polycoccum species, and pyrenocarpous ascomycete 2 (on Sphaerophorus), which resembles Endococcus oropogonicola are briefly characterised. Cercidospora punctillata is first reported from Sphaerophorus … Read more...
