The number of undescribed species of lichenized fungi has been estimated at roughly
10,000. Describing and cataloging these would take the existing number of taxonomists …

The taxonomy of lichenized fungi (lichens) is relatively well-known compared to that of other
fungi because lichens are long-lived and possess a thallus that requires exposure to light …

This contribution provides a synopsis of the presentations and discussions during the SIG
session on cryptic speciation in lichen-forming fungi held during IMC9. In several cases, a re …

Lichenicolous fungi represent a highly specialized and successful group of organisms that
live exclusively on lichens, most commonly as host-specific parasites, but also as broad …

Data on 54 new for China, India, Korea and Russia species of lichen-forming and
lichenicolous fungi, including 22 new for science taxa of lichen-forming and lichenicolous …

Ninety years after Zahlbruckner, we present the most recent update to the classification of
lichen fungi in the Ascomycota and Basidiomycota to genus level, with species numbers and …

Lichens are symbiotic associations resulting from interactions among fungi (primary and
secondary mycobionts), algae and/or cyanobacteria (primary and secondary photobionts) …

The lichenicolous fungi represent an important ecological group of species that form
obligate associations with lichens. They have been studied seriously for over 200 years and …

Accurate species delimitations are crucial for ecological and conservation studies,
assessments of biotic diversity, and identifying factors driving diversification. Estimates …

The concept of species and species complexes of lichenized fungi is reviewed in the light of
recent molecular approaches. Species concepts based on chemistry, morphology …
