Vicente R., Isaksson R., Jonsson F., Svensson M. & Westberg M. (2026): Additions to the flora of lichenicolous fungi of Sweden III, with the description of a new Epithamnolia species, Graphis Scripta, 38(3): 64–85

We report 23 lichenicolous fungi as new to Sweden, of which 17 are also new to Fennoscandia. Additionally, Actinocladium rhodosporum is recorded for the first time as lichenicolous in Sweden. The taxa treated include Acremonium vanderkolkii, Actinocladium rhodosporum, Arthonia colombiana, A. epiparmelia, Buelliella physciicola, Burgoa moriformis, Cercidospora lobothalliae, Cladophialophora cladoniae, C. parmeliae, Clypeococcum cetrariae, Endococcus ramalinarius, Feltgeniomyces luxemburgensis, Lawalreea … Read more...

Zhurbenko M.P. & Brackel W. v. (2026): Endococcus hygrophilus Arnold new to Svalbard and the Arctic, Graphis Scripta, 38(3): 86–90

Endococcus hygrophilus is reported from Svalbard, a detailed description of the species based on this find and on the lectotype is given and it is proposed to return it to the genus Endococcus. Read more...

Haldeman M., Miranda-González R. & McCune B. (2026): Pyrenula cascadensis, a new species of non-lichenized Pyrenula (Pyrenulaceae) from northwestern North America, Bryologist , 129(2): 120–129

We describe Pyrenula cascadensis as a new species from Washington, U.S.A. It is similar to other Pyrenula from the Pacific Northwest in having 3-distoseptate, faintly pale-brown spores. However, it lacks a lichenized thallus and occurs in montane to subalpine forests. We compare the new species with other Pyrenula species and other similar genera. We present a phylogeny of Pyrenulaceae delimiting at least five independent clades in which almost all species are known to occur partially or exclusively … Read more...

Driscoll K.E., Lendemer J.C., Clayden S.R. & Harris R.C. (2026): Minutophoma buelliarum (Ascomycota, subphylum Pezizomycotina), a new lichenicolous fungus widespread on corticolous, norstictic acid-producing Buellia in eastern North America, Bryologist , 129(2): 130–139

The species historically referred to as Buellia stillingiana, and more recently proposed to be a synonym of B. erubescens, is very common and widespread in eastern North America. While studying material to determine the application of these names, we repeatedly encountered a lichenicolous coelomycete parasitizing thalli of this lichen. The lichenicolous fungus appears to belong to the genus Minutophoma, differing from M. chrysophthalmae in its larger pycnidia, larger conidia, and occurrence on Buellia … Read more...

Poengsungnoen V., Buaruang K., Polyiam W., Sangvichien E., Boonpragob K., Lumbsch H.T. & Vongshewarat K. (2026): Two new species and a new record of crustose lichens from Thailand, Bryologist , 129(2): 101–105

Two new lichen species, Astrochapsa pruinosa and Ramonia sirindhorniana, are described from Thailand. Astrochapsa pruinosa has angular-rounded to elongate ascomata, 8-spored asci, and muriform ascospores (30–45 × 12–15 µm), differing from the similar A. pseudophlyctis, which has predominantly rounded ascomata and 1–6-spored asci. Ramonia sirindhorniana is characterized by simple, ellipsoid ascospores (6–8 × 3–4 µm) and 16–32-spored asci. It is distinguished from R. kandleri by its … Read more...

Morgan G., Adams P., Robison A., St. Clair L.L. & Leavitt S.D. (2026): Student scientists, bulk sampling and DNA metabarcoding demonstrate improved species detectability in lichen diversity inventories, Bryologist , 129(2): 106–119

Lichens are present in nearly all terrestrial ecosystems. They often represent a substantial portion of the community-level species diversity, play important ecological roles, and are commonly used to monitor ecological health. Consistently and accurately detecting and representing lichen diversity remains challenging, even when standardized surveys are conducted by experts. In fact, recent work suggests that lichen detectability is unexpectedly low, even in some of the best-case scenarios, with … Read more...

Wang X., Wang Y., Leavitt S.D., Zhu W. & Zhao X. (2026): Phylogeny and taxonomy of Willeya (Verrucariales, Verrucariaceae), including two new species and two newly recorded species from China, MycoKeys, 137: 21–42

Willeya Müll. Arg. (Verrucariaceae, Eurotiomycetes, Ascomycota) is a genus of crustose lichen-forming fungi. To date, no comprehensive taxonomic revision of Willeya in China has been conducted. In this study, we performed morphological examinations, multi-gene phylogenetic analyses based on nrITS, mtSSU, and nuLSU sequences and thin-layer chromatography on specimens collected from four Chinese provinces. As a result, two new species, Willeya bispora Xin Yi Wang & X. Zhao, W. guizhouensis Xin … Read more...

Li X., Chen L., Liu W., Aptroot A. & Dou M. (2026): Three new species of Pyrenula (Ascomycota, Pyrenulales, Pyrenulaceae) from China, Journal of Fungi, 12(7): 529 [19 p.]

The lichenized fungal genus Pyrenula Ach. is one of the most common groups of crustose lichens in tropical and subtropical regions, but there has been little research on this genus in China. Based on an integrative taxonomic method including morphological, chemical characters, and three-locus phylogenetic analyses, we found three new Pyrenula species from southern China. Pyrenula falcatispora sp. nov. is characterized by multiseptate (7–9-septate), falciform ascospores with pointed ends, and the … Read more...
