Zhurbenko, M.P. 2023: Contributions to the knowledge of lichenicolous fungi growing on Sphaerophoraceae, with a key to the species. - Herzogia 36(2): 501-523. [RLL List # 276 / Rec.# 44883]
Abstract: Four species of lichenicolous fungi are described as new to science: Abrothallus leifidii (on Leifidium), Micarea novae-zelandiae (on Bunodophoron), Spirographa bunodophoronis (on Bunodophoron), and Umushamyces wedinii (on Bunodophoron). Pyrenocarpous ascomycete 1 (on Bunodophoron), which resembles Polycoccum species, and pyrenocarpous ascomycete 2 (on Sphaerophorus), which resembles Endococcus oropogonicola are briefly characterised. Cercidospora punctillata is first reported from Sphaerophorus fragilis. Clypeococcum wedinii is newly reported for Australia (Tasmania), Bunodophoron australe and B. melanocarpum are its new host species. Lichenoconium erodens is new to Australia and New Zealand, L. usneae is new to Australia, both are first documented on a member of Sphaerophoraceae (Bunodophoron). A species of Pyrenidium is newly reported on a member of Sphaerophoraceae (Bunodophoron formosanum). A key to 18 species of lichenicolous fungi known to occur on Sphaerophoraceae is provided.
Notes: New: Abrothallus leifidii Etayo & Zhurb. (on Leifidium tenerum from Chile), Micarea novae-zelandiae Zhurb. (on Bunodophoron macrocarpum from Australia; Bunodophoron cf. insigne, B. macrocarpum, B. murrayi, B. patagonicum, B. ramuliferum, B. scrobiculatum & B. sp. from New Zealand), Spirographa bunodophoronis Zhurb. (on Bunodophoron insigne & B. ramuliferum from Australia; B. insigne & B. patagonicum from New Zealand), Umushamyces wedinii Zhurb. & Etayo (on Bunodophoron ramuliferum & B. sp. from Argentina; B. ramuliferum from Australia; B. insigne & B. sp. from Chile; B. ramuliferum from New Zealand). Includes key to lichenicolous fungi on Sphaerophoraceae.
