Porosty Beskidów Wyspowego i Żywieckiego, Pasma Jałowca i Masywu Babiej Góry [The lichens (Lichenized Fungi) occurrence in the Beskid Wyspowy, Beskid Żywiecki and Pasmo Jałowca Ranges, and the Babia Góra Massif]

Abstract

The work presents lichenological materials collected in the years 1964–1969 in the area of the Beskid Wyspowy, Beskid Żywiecki and Pasmo Jałowca Ranges and the Babia Góra Massif in the Western Carpathians. In the years 1996–1997 comparative studies of those mountain ranges were undertaken again. However, the author managed to reinvestigate the lichens of the Beskid Wyspowy Rangę only, he will probably not be able to continue the research in the other ranges. The check-list of the lichen species occurring there in the sixties, published nów for the first time, can be the reference for the lichenologists who would carry out this project in the same way as the author referenced to the former investigations (STEIN 1872; REHMAN 1879; BOBERSKI 1886; MOTYKA 1934; ZSHACKE 1934; SUZA 1951). In the Beskid Wyspowy Range 342 species of lichens were found, among them 112 epiphytic species, 30 epixylic species, 6 epibryophytic species, 55 epigeic species and 139 epilithic species were recorded. One species of lichenicolous fungus was also found <em>Epilichen scabrosus</em>. In the Beskid Żywiecki and Pasmo Jałowca Ranges, and Babia Góra Massif 543 species of lichens occurred, among them 183 epiphytic species, 43 epixylic species, 21 epibryophytic species, 69 epigeic species and 194 epilithic species. The check-list includes also lichenicolous species: <em>Carbonea vitellinaria, Chaenothecopsis consociata, Microcalicium arenarium, Sphinctrina turbinata, Stenocybe pullatula</em>. In the Babia Góra Massif 27 species previously published from there were not found again: <em>Catolechia wahlenbergii, Cliostomum corrugatum, Phaeographis dendritica, Polyblastia cupularis, P. sendtneri, Solorina crocea, Sticta syhatica</em> (comp. STEIN 1872), <em>Ramalina calicaris</em> (REHMAN 1879), <em>Usneaflorida, U. longissima, U. scrobiculata</em> (MOTYKA 1934), <em>Polyblastia pallescens</em> (ZSCHACKE 1934), <em>Arthrorhaphis alpina, Cladonia amaurocrea, C. bellidiflora, C. cyanipes, C. macrophylla, Evernia divaricata, Hypotrachyna sinuosa, Mycobilimbia berengeriana, Nephroma laevigatum, Peltigera malacea, P. venosa, Solorina saccata, Sphaerophorus fragilis, Sporastatia polyspora, Thamnolia vermicularis</em> (comp. SUZA 1951).

The lichen genus Opegrapha s. l. in Poland: morphological variability, ecology, and distribution

“…The first record of O. dolomitica was published by Körber [21]. It was also reported by Stein [182], Eitner [303], Migula [130], and a few times in the Polish lichenological literature from Dolny Śląsk (Lower Silesia Province) [132], Łańcuch Tatrzański macroregion [106,107], Pieniny Mountains [110,111], Sudetes [260], and West Beskids [131]. Like most of the epilithic species of the studied genera, O. dolomitica is found in the southern part of the country, with a few scattered localities in the western part of the Polish Carpathians and uplands (Fig.…”

“…Two of the analyzed specimens grew on the bark of Fagus sylvatica, while the third one grew on Carpinus betulus. The species was first reported by Migula [130] in northern Poland, and it also was found in the Beskid Sądecki Mountains [103], Beskid Żywiecki Mountains [131], Dolny Śląsk (Lower Silesia Province) [132], Pieniny Mountains [110], Równina Kozienicka (Kozienice Plain) [133], Wzgórza Łopuszańskie (Łopuszańskie Hills) [134].…”

“…It also was reported by Eitner [303,347] and Migula [130]. The species also was reported from the Beskid Makowski Mountains [186], Beskid Niski Mountains [322], Beskid Sądecki Mountains [102,323,348], Beskid Śląski Mountains [189,190], Gorce Mountains [349], Karkonosze Mountains [350], Łańcuch Tatrzański macroregion [107,210,211,351], Mierzeja Wiślana (Vistula Spit) [215], northeastern Poland [218], Pieniny Mountains [110], Pogórze Przemyskie (Przemyśl Foothills) [112], Pogórze Rożnowsko-Ciężkowickie (Rożnowsko-Ciężkowickie Foothills) [81], Pogórze Spiskie (Spisz Foothills) [225], Pojezierze Ełckie (Ełk Lakeland) [82,305], Pojezierze Kaszubskie (Kashubian Lake District) [83], Pojezierze Olsztyńskie (Olsztyn Lake District) [235,352,353], Równina Augustowska (Augustów Plain) [306], Równina Bielska (Bielsk Plain) [55,243], Równina Drawska (Drawno Plain) [244], Równina Kozienicka (Kozienice Plain) [245,246], Równina Piotrkowska (Piotrków Plain) [252], Roztocze [255,258], Sudetes [260], Uznam and Wolin islands [354], West Beskids [131,…”

New and interesting species of lichens from xerothermic habitats in NW Poland

“…2e) The record from the old chalk excavation site is the first record from northern Poland. Previously reported from only five localities in southern Poland, e.g., the Bieszczady Mts [55,56], Beskid Wyspowy Mts and Beskid Żywiecki Mts [61], Lower Silesia [66], Sudety Mts [63], and Tatry Mts [37,38,65,[67][68][69][70].…”

Lichens of larch Larix sp. in places of the Podlasie province (NE Poland)

“…In other areas of Poland the lichen biota of larch is also poor, for example, in Przemyskie Foothills (Kiszka & Piórecki 1991) it consists of 16 species, in Beskid Wyspowy (Nowak 1998 In the cities of Poland the lichen biota of this phorophyte is also poor, for example in Kielce (Toborowicz 1976) it consists of 13 species, in Karpacz (Jurwin et al 2012) -9, in Lesko (Rydzak 1956b) -8, in Zakopane -6 (Rydzak 1957b).…”
