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 …

As the continuation of Fungal Diversity Notes series, the current paper is the 16th
contribution to this series. A total of 103 taxa from seven classes in Ascomycota and …

Efforts are currently underway to establish a standard DNA barcode region for fungi; we
tested the utility of the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) of nuclear ribosomal DNA for DNA …

A functional identification system is the core and basis of fungal taxonomy, which provides
sufficient diagnostic characteristics for species delimitation. Phenotype-based identification …

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 …

Species of the Neuropogon group in the lichen genus Usnea have their centre of distribution
in polar regions of the Southern Hemisphere. Their morphological and chemical variability is …

Recent taxonomic and DNA sequence-based studies in several groups of lichen-forming
fungi have revealed incongruence between the morphological and molecule-based …

Abstract Hair lichens (Alectoria, Bryoria, Usnea) with high surface-area-to-mass ratios
rapidly trap moisture. By photography and scanning we examined how internal water …

Species delimitations in the predominantly Antarctic and South American group of
neuropogonoid species of the lichen-forming fungal genus Usnea are poorly understood …
