Christ. & D. Hawksw., Sclerococcum sphaerale (Ach.) Fr., Lichenodiplis lecanorae (Vouaux) Dyko & D. Hawksw.) of lichenicolous fungi are reported. Descriptions of the species Lichenothelia tenuissima and Taeniolella punctata as well as the localities, data on ecology and taxonomic notes for the above mentioned species are provided.

Zwackhiomyces polischukii Sp. Nov., and other Noteworthy Lichenicolous Fungi from Ukraine

“…The lichenicolous fungi of Ukraine are still poorly known, although research on them has increased recently (e.g., Braun et al 2016;Darmostuk & Naumovich 2016;Kapets 2016;Khodosovtsev et al 2016a, b). Last year we organized several excursions to forests in northern and southern Ukraine, to granitic canyons along small steppe rivers and to loess outcrops in the Dnieper-Bug estuary.…”
