ŠOUN J., VONDRÁK J. (2008): Caloplaca aurantia and Caloplaca flavescens (Teloschistaceae, lichen-forming fungi) in the Czech Republic; with notes to their taxonomy and nomenclature.   [Czech Republic, distribution, morphology, nomenclature, Teloschistales]  Czech Mycology 60(2): 275-291   (published: 27th February, 2009)
  abstract   A revision of Caloplaca aurantia and C. flavescens in the Czech Republic is provided. Both species are confirmed from the territory; their distribution is reviewed and their ecological demands commented upon. Morphological investigations have confirmed the structure of the cortex and shape and colour of the lobes as the best diagnostic characters of both species; the thickness of the cortex has been found to be another useful character. Nomenclatural confusions regarding both species are discussed and clarified.

GRISHKAN I., TEMINA M. (2023): Diversity of microfungal communities inside saxicolous lichens from Nahal Oren, Mount Carmel, Israel.   [endolichenic fungi, lichen thallus, melanised fungi, microclimatic contrast, rock surface.]  Czech Mycology 75(1): 15-34   (published: 28th March, 2023)   Electronic supplement
  abstract   In this study, we examined the endolichenic fungal communities of saxicolous lichens covering the rocks in the Nahal Oren valley, northern Israel. A total of 60 fungal species belonging to 35 genera were isolated from six lichen species collected in the summer and winter on the south-facing slope (SFS) and north-facing slope (NFS) of the valley. We verified that rocks serve as a possible source for the formation of endolichenic communities because communities colonising lichen thalli and the rock surface shared 39% of species and clustered together on the SFS. On the NFS, with a comparatively favourable microclimate, lichen thalli abundantly harboured typical soil fungi such as Clonostachys rosea and Fusarium spp. in winter and summer, respectively. At the same time, more severe environmental conditions on the SFS facilitated the prevalence of melanised fungi with thick-walled and multicellular spores irrespective of season. The lowest species richness and isolate densities of endolichenic communities were registered in the thalli of Collema cristatum. This decrease, especially expressed in the summer, was probably associated with the antifungal effect of substances produced by its cyanobiont, as well as with the heavy dehydration of thalli during the dry season.

ADAMČÍK S., AUDE E., BÄSSLER C., CHRISTENSEN M., DORT K.VAN, FRITZ Ö., GLEJDURA S., HEILMANN-CLAUSEN J., HOLEC J., JANČOVIČOVÁ S., KUNCA V., LACKOVIČOVÁ A., LÜTH M., ÓDOR P. (2016): Fungi and lichens recorded during the Cryptogam Symposium on Natural Beech Forests, Slovakia 2011.   [old-growth beech forests, diversity, conservation, indicator, red-list, Europe]  Czech Mycology 68(1): 1-40   (published: 1st February, 2016)
  abstract   In September 2011, an international team of cryptogam experts visited seven national nature reserves in five mountain areas of Slovakia: Havešová and Stužica in the Poloniny Mts., Vihorlat in the Vihorlatské vrchy Mts., Oblík in the Slanské vrchy Mts., Dobročský prales and Klenovský Vepor in the Veporské vrchy Mts. and Badínsky prales in the Kremnické vrchy Mts. The reserves were selected to represent examples of the best protected old-growth beech forests in the country. The aim was to study the diversity of wood-inhabiting fungi on fallen beech logs and epiphytic lichens on standing beech trees. In total, 215 fungal species and 128 lichens were recorded on beech wood and bark, and 27 fungi and 26 lichens on additional substrates. The site of the highest conservation value is Stužica with 126 fungi and 79 lichens recorded on beech, of which 12 fungi and 19 lichens are indicators of high nature conservation value. Combined with historical records, a total of 19 non-lichenised fungal indicators are now reported from the site, making it the highest ranked natural beech forest in Europe. The second most important reserve for fungal diversity is Havešová with 121 species, including 14 indicator species recorded on beech wood. For lichens, the second most important reserve is Klenovský Vepor with 69 species including 18 lichen indicators recorded on beech. Nine fungus species are here reported as new to Slovakia: Asterostroma medium, Entoloma hispidulum, E. pseudoparasiticum, Gloeohypochnicium analogum, Hohenbuehelia valesiaca, Hymenochaete ulmicola, Hypocrea parmastoi, Melanomma spiniferum and Scutellinia colensoi. Lichen species Alyxoria ochrocheila is reported as new to Slovakia and Lecanographa amylacea, which was considered extinct in the Slovak Red list, was also recorded. This is the first list of wood-inhabiting fungi and epiphytic lichens of old-growth beech forests in Slovakia, and hence an important contribution to the exploration of biodiversity in Slovakia.

BALAJI P., HARIHARAN G.N. (2013): Checklist of microlichens in Bolampatti II Forest Range (Siruvani Hills), Western Ghats, Tamil Nadu, India.   [microlichen diversity, substratum, forest types, photobiont, conservation, Western Ghats]  Czech Mycology 65(2): 219-232   (published: 20th December, 2013)
  abstract   A checklist of 137 microlichen species is provided based on the identification of specimens collected from three different vegetation types within the Bolampatti II Forest range (Siruvani Hills), Western Ghats. The dominant family is Porinaceae with 23 species. The dominant genus is Porina with 21 species. The diversity (87) and number of specific species (31) are highest at the Moist Mixed Deciduous Forest (MMDF) type, while there are about 30 lichen species common to all three different forest types studied. A total of 58 lichen species are new to this area. Study on habitat preferences of the lichens showed that most lichens grow on bark (75 %), followed by rock and leaf substrata. Concerning photobiont distribution, most Trebouxia containing lichens were found in the Dry Mixed Deciduous Forest (DMDF), while Trentepohlia is most frequent in MMDF. The presented number and types of lichens, and their ecological preferences will be a basis for conducting their future conservation and biomonitoring studies in various habitats of India.

KOCOURKOVÁ J. (1999): Lichenicolous fungi from the Czech Republic. 1. Weddellomyces xanthoparmeliae Calatayud et Nav.-Ros.   [Dothideales, Dacampiaceae, Weddellomyces xanthoparmeliae Calatayud et Nav.-Ros., lichenicolous fungi, taxonomy, Xanthoparmelia]  Czech Mycology 51(2-3): 179-184   (published: 25th May, 1999)
  abstract   The parasitic lichenicolous fungus Weddellomyces xanthoparmeliae Calatayud et Nav.-Ros., recently described from Xanthoparmelia cf. protomatra (Calatayud et Navarro-Rosinés 1998) is now reported also from central Europe from the Czech Republic. It has been collected in several localities on Xanthoparmelia conspersa (Ehrh. exAch.) Hale and X. somloensis (Gyelnik) Hale. Weddellomyces xanthoparmeliae occurs in great quantity in all the Czech and Moravian localities and therefore it seems possible to find it without difficulties also in other warm areas in situations with rather xerothermic habitats where the hosts are commonly present.

KOCOURKOVÁ J., BERGER F. (1999): Polycoccum minutulum (Dothideales, Ascomycetes), a new lichenicolous fungus on Trapelia placodioides.   [Lichenicolous fungi, Ascomycetes, Dothideales, Polycoccum, Trapelia placodioides, flora of Austria, flora of the Czech Republic]  Czech Mycology 51(2-3): 171-177   (published: 25th May, 1999)
  abstract   A new lichenicolous fungus species, Polycoccum minutulum Kocourková et F. Berger is described from CentralEurope. Thecombination of features of this species, such as discoloration of infected parts of the host, the formation of galls, the size of the halonate spores provided with verruculose epispore and also the host Trapelia placodioides Coppins et P. James, distinguishes it from other species of the genus Polycoccum Sauter ex Körb.
