Lichens and allied fungi new for Latvia

Abstract

Six lichenized fungi (Calicium parvum, C. trabinellum, Carbonicola anthracophila, C. myrmecina, Peltigera extenuata, Pycnora sorophora), two lichenicolous (Clypeococcum hypocenomycis and Illosporium carneum), and two saprobic calicioid fungi (Chaenothecopsis savonica and Microcalicium arenarium) are reported as new for Latvia.

New records of lichens and lichenicolous fungi from Latvia, with a list of lichenicolous fungi reported from Latvia

“…The second annotated checklist of lichens listed 15 lichenicolous taxa as supplementary data (Āboliņa et al 2015). Further contribution was made by Motiejūnaitė et al (2016), with 33 lichenicolous fungi reported for the first time from Latvia, complemented by the paper of Moisejevs (2017). Since a full and up-to-date list of lichenicolous fungi for Latvia is still lacking, a comprehensive list is provided here.…”
