Abstract Knowledge of the relationships and thus the classification of fungi, has developed
rapidly with increasingly widespread use of molecular techniques, over the past 10–15 …

This is the fourth in a series of Mycosphere notes wherein we provide notes on various
fungal genera. In this set of notes, we introduce Phaeoseptaceae as a new family …

Part One presents the current classification that includes all accepted genera and higher
taxa above the generic level in the phylum Ascomycota. It is based on the changes listed in …

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 …

This study uses a set of PCR-based methods to examine the putative microbiota associated
with lichen thalli. In initial experiments, generalized oligonucleotide-primers for the 16S …

Although classification at supra-specific ranks is inherently arbitrary, comparable taxonomic
ranks within clades can facilitate more consistent classifications and objective comparisons …

This chapter summarizes the diversity of interactions in lichen symbiosis at the taxonomic,
organismic and cellular levels. Peculiarities of lichen-dominated terrestrial ecosystems, their …

A new taxonomy of the Caloplaca citrina group in the Black Sea region is presented. It is
based on the nrDNA ITS molecular data, chemistry (anthraquinone contents) and 20 …

The resolution of the phylogenetic relationships within the order Teloschistales
(Ascomycota, lichen-forming-fungi), with nearly 2000 known species and outstanding …

The phylogeny of the subfamily Xanthorioideae (Teloschistaceae) is re-analysed based on
ITS, LSU and mtSSU sequences, including a new set of specimens representing 31 genera …
