Leptogium saturninum is a species of lichen belonging to the family Collemataceae. [1]
It has cosmopolitan distribution. [1]
The Collemataceae are a lichenized family of fungi in the order Peltigerales. The family contains ten genera and about 325 species. The family has a widespread distribution.
Leptogium is a genus of lichen-forming fungi in the family Collemataceae. It has about 110 species. Species formerly classified under Leptogium have since been divided among the genera Leptogium, Pseudoleptogium, and Scytinium. Leptogium lichens are predominantly found on tree bark or soil, often among mosses, and sometimes on rocks in moist environments.
Leptochidium is a genus of lichen-forming fungi in the family Massalongiaceae. It has two species:
Schenella romana is a species of earthstar found in Italy.
Hildur Krog was a Norwegian botanist.
Per Magnus Jørgensen is a Norwegian botanist and lichenologist, and Professor Emeritus of systematic botany at the University of Bergen. He is known for his work on the lichen families Pannariaceae and Collemataceae. Jørgensen was awarded the Acharius Medal in 2021 for his lifetime contributions to lichenology.
Leptogium rivulare, also called the flooded jellyskin lichen, is a species of lichen belonging to the family Collemataceae.
Leptogium teretiusculum is a species of lichen belonging to the family Collemataceae.
Leptogium corniculatum is a species of fungus belonging to the family Collemataceae.
Amphidium may refer to:
Leptogium kalbii is a species of lichen in the family Collemataceae. It is found in Brazil, both in São Paulo State and in some Islands of Brazil.
Leptogium sphaerosporum is a species of corticolous (bark-dwelling), foliose lichen in the family Collemataceae. Found in Nepal, it was formally described as a new species in 2010 by Per Magnus Jørgensen and Louise Olley. The type specimen was collected on the track from Thulo Syabru to Bamboo (Langtang) at an elevation of 1,970 m (6,460 ft). Here, in a shady and humid mixed broad-leaved forest, it was found growing on the bark of Alnus nepalensis. It has a bluish-grey, foliose thallus measuring up to 5 cm (2.0 in) wide comprising smooth lobes up to 0.5 cm (0.2 in) broad. The apothecia are up to 1.5 mm (0.06 in) in diameter with a flat brown disc and a thallus margin that is pale blue. The ascospores are spheroid, muriform with rounded tips and have dimensions of 19–27 by 14–19 μm. Leptogium sphaerosporum is similar to Leptogium pedicellatum, but the latter species is distinguished by its ellipsoid ascospores that measure 25–30 by 10–15 μm.
Leptogium patwardhanii is a species of corticolous (bark-dwelling) and foliose lichen in the family Collemataceae. Found in India, it was formally described as a new species in 2010 by Archana Dube and Urmila Vasudev Makhija. The type specimen was collected in an evergreen forest in Amboli (Maharashtra) at an elevation of 690 m (2,260 ft). It is only known to occur at the type locality.
Leptogium verrucosum is a rare species of foliose lichen in the family Collemataceae. Found in India, it was formally described as a new species in 2010 by Archana Dube and Urmila Vasudev Makhija. The type specimen was collected from the walls of the Purandar fort (Maharashtra) at an elevation of 1,350 m (4,430 ft). It has also been recorded growing on bark in moist shady locations. Characteristics of Leptogium patwardhanii include the numerous pycnidia that give the thallus a warty appearance, and the wrinkled upper and lower surfaces. Its ascospores are muriform, have acute ends, and measure 15–32 by 6–12 μm.
Leptogium subazureum is a species of corticolous (bark-dwelling) and foliose lichen in the family Collemataceae. Found in India, it was formally described as a new species in 2010 by Archana Dube and Urmila Vasudev Makhija. The type specimen was collected along the road from Ajra to Amboli (Maharashtra) at an elevation of 900 m (3,000 ft). It is one of the most common lichens in the Western Ghats of Maharashtra. It grows along with mosses on the twigs and trunks of trees. The specific epithet subazureum alludes to its resemblance with Leptogium azureum, which differs in ascospore size.
Leptogium acadiense is a species of corticolous (bark-dwelling), foliose lichen in the family Collemataceae. Found in northeastern North America, it was formally described as a new species in 2016 by James Hinds, Frances Anderson, and James Lendemer. The species epithet refers to the Acadian region of eastern North America, where the lichen seems to be most common.
Leptogium adnatum is a species of lichen in the family Collemataceae. Found in Cape Horn, the southernmost point of South America, it was formally described as a new species in 2013 by Norwegian lichenologist Per Magnus Jørgensen. The crust-like thallus of the lichen comprises densely packed, intricately folded, irregular squamules that in some parts form dark greyish-blue lobes that are firmly attached to their rock substrate. The species epithet adnatum refers to this tight attachment. Leptogium adnatum is only known to occur on coastal rocks in the Cape Horn region. The coastal locale is unusual for a species of Leptogium, but the author speculates that the high levels of rainfall that occur in the area dilutes the salt concentration sufficiently to make the climate more amenable to the growth of the lichen.
Leptogium auriculatum is a species of foliose lichen in the family Collemataceae. Found in Cape Horn, the southernmost point of South America, it was formally described as a new species in 2013 by Norwegian lichenologist Per Magnus Jørgensen. The type specimen was collected by William R. Buck east of Puerto Williams, where it was found growing on wet rocks along a small stream in a disturbed Nothofagus forest. The leafy thallus of the lichen comprises orbicular, sometimes overlapping lobes, packed, intricately folded, irregular squamules that in some parts form dark greyish-blue lobes with undulating margins and a width of 0.5–1 cm (0.2–0.4 in). The upper thallus surface is more or less smooth, shiny, and dark greyish-brown, while the undersurface is paler and smooth. Leptogium auriculatum is only known to occur on rocks in the Cape Horn region in a couple of difficult-to-access locations.
