New and noteworthy records of lichenized, lichenicolous and allied fungi from Estonia

Abstract

Herewith, we continue to upgrade the Estonian checklist of lichenized, lichenicolous and allied fungi, and report 14 fungal species new for Estonia, nine of them lichenized (Absconditella pauxilla, Aquacidia trachona, Arthonia helvola, A. reniformis, Lecidea fuliginosa, Lempholemma chalazanum, Lepraria membranacea, Phaeophyscia hirsuta and Trapelia elacista), and four lichenicolous (Bryostigma phaeophyciae, Endococcus verrucosus, Everniicola flexispora and Tetramelas pulverulentus), while Melaspilea bagliettoana is doubtfully lichenized. In addition, four species (Fuscidea cyathoides, Ophioparma ventosa, Rhizocarpon oederi and Sphaerophorus globosus) have been rediscovered, and the presence of one species, Physcia dimidiata, previously known from the literature (Mereschkowski,1913) has been confirmed based on herbarium material. Physcia magnussonii is excluded from the checklist of Estonian lichens.
