“…Particular species of Cladonia , Lepraria , and Stereocaulon differ in their preferred Asterochloris species-level lineages (i.e., they are selective towards their phycobionts; Peksa and Škaloud, 2011 ; Škaloud et al, 2015 ; Steinová et al, 2019 ; Vančurová et al, 2020 ). A relatively high number of studies have focused on phycobionts of Cladonia , Lepraria , and Stereocaulon ; however, new phycobiont species-level lineages continue being discovered ( Moya et al, 2015 ; Vančurová et al, 2018 ; Pino-Bodas and Stenroos, 2020 ; Kosecka et al, 2021 ). In addition, other trebouxiophycean algal genera have been detected as phycobionts of Stereocaulon ( Beck, 2002 ; Vančurová et al, 2015 , 2018 , 2020 ; Kosecka et al, 2021 ), Cladonia ( Ahmadjian and Jacobs, 1981 ; Korchikov et al, 2018 ; Osyczka et al, 2020 ), and Lepraria ( Engelen et al, 2010 ).…”
