Lichens represent self-supporting symbioses, which occur in a wide range of terrestrial
habitats and which contribute significantly to mineral cycling and energy flow at a global …

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 paper provides an updated classification of the Kingdom Fungi (including fossil fungi)
and fungus-like taxa. Five-hundred and twenty-three (535) notes are provided for newly …

Lichenicolous fungi represent a highly specialized and successful group of organisms that

A comprehensive account of fungal classification from freshwater habitats is outlined and
discussed in the present review based on literature of biodiversity studies and recent …

This paper is a compilation of notes on 142 fungal taxa, including five new families, 20 new

The lichen family Teloschistaceae is one of the larger families of lichenized fungi. Currently it
includes one very large heterogenous genus, Caloplaca, with some 1000 or more species …

Context: Lichens are composite organisms consisting of a symbiotic association of a fungus
(the mycobiont) with a photosynthetic partner (the phytobiont), usually either a green alga or …

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

The largest family of lichen‐forming fungi, the Parmeliaceae, is reviewed. It includes 79
genera in current use and ca 2726 species, a large majority of which belong to one of five …
