The genus Cladonia (Lichenized Ascomycota) from Restinga vegetation of Espírito Santo state, Brazil: Supergroups Cladonia and Cocciferae

In this paper we recognize a total of 11 species of Cladonia, five belonging to Supergroup Crustaceae and six to Supergroup Perviae, occurring in the Restinga vegetation of Espírito Santo state, Brazil. We confirm the occurrence of C. sprucei and C. rangiferina to Espírito Santo state Restinga, being their most austral record in Brazil so far. Four species are new records to the state: C. consimilis, C. dendroides, C. salzmannii, and C. sphacelata. Here we expand the number of known species of Cladonia of Supergroup Perviae from three to five, and of Supergroup Crustaceae from three to six in the studied environment. An identification key, comments and illustrations are provided.

The “Funga Capixaba” have been overlooked for a very long time, leading to a gap in the local mycological knowledge. In order to create a preliminary and updated list of Ascomycetes and lichen-forming fungi from Espírito Santo state, Brazil we reviewed all specimens deposited in the VIES Herbarium and key references of former mycological studies. In our list, we report a total of 528 species belonging to 173 genera and 65 families. 422 are new records for Espírito Santo state, six species, Mazaediothecium uniseptatum, Cratiria chloraceus, Lecanora glaucoidea, Pyrenula montocensis, and P. oleosa, are new records both for the neotropics and Brazil, and Lobariella pseudocrenulata is also new to Brazil. We have increased the number of accepted macrofungi species names from 85 to 528, which makes the Espírito Santo state the 10th highest in terms of known fungal diversity among Brazilian states. An updated and preliminary list of macroscopic Ascomycota including lichen-forming fungi from Espírito Santo, comments, and a brief overview about the local mycology are provided.
