Lichenostigma rupicolae is a species of lichenicolous fungus belonging to the family Phaeococcomycetaceae. [1]
It was described in 2010 from specimens of Pertusaria rupicola , its host species. [2]
The Pertusariaceae are a family of lichen-forming fungi in the order Pertusariales.
Spirographa is a genus of parasitic fungi. It is the sole genus in the monotypic family Spirographaceae, belong to the order Ostropales. The genus was circumscribed by Alexander Zahlbruckner in 1903, with Spirographa spiralis later assigned as the type species in 1923. The family Spirographaceae was circumscribed by Adam Flakus, Javier Etayo and Jolanta Miadlikowska in 2019 on the basis of molecular phylogenetic analysis. They determined that genus Spirographa is an independent lineage in the Ostropales, sister to the clade containing the families Fissurinaceae, Gomphillaceae, and Graphidaceae.
Sphinctrina is a genus of lichenicolous fungi, usually not lichenized, in the family Sphinctrinaceae. Its species are most commonly parasitic on lichens of the genus Pertusaria.
Pertusaria is a large genus of warty crustose lichens in the Pertusariaceae family. The fruiting bodies are usually modified apothecia that immersed in warts on the main body (thallus) with small holes for the spores to emerge, similar to ostioles, or are fully above and lecanorine (spore bearing discs surrounded by a ring of tissue similar to the tissue of the thallus. Members of the genus are commonly called wart lichens.
Lichenostigma is a genus of fungi. It includes several species which are lichenicolous.
André Aptroot is a Dutch mycologist and lichenologist.
A lichenicolous fungus is a parasitic fungus that only lives on lichen as the host. A lichenicolous fungus is not the same as the fungus that is the component of the lichen, which is known as a lichenized fungus. They are most commonly specific to a given fungus as the host, but they also include a wide range of pathogens, saprotrophs, and commensals. It is estimated there are 3000 species of lichenicolous fungi. More than 1800 species are already described among the Ascomycota and Basidiomycota. More than 95% of lichenicolous fungi described as of 2003 are ascomycetes, in 7 classes and 19 orders. Although basidiomycetes have less than 5% of lichenicolous lichen species, they represent 4 classes and 8 orders. Many lichenicolous species have yet to be assigned a phylogenetic position as of 2003.
Lecanora rupicola is a species of crustose lichen in the family Lecanoraceae. It is a known host species to the lichenicolous fungus Arthonia glaucomaria.
Alan W. Archer is a mycologist and taxonomist. He is currently an honorary research associate at Royal Botanic Gardens Sydney. He uses chemotaxonomy as well as morphological features in taxonomy and to devise keys, most recently for the genus Pertusaria in the Australasia region.
Lichenostigma cosmopolites is a species of lichenicolous fungus belonging to the family Phaeococcomycetaceae. It was described as new to science in 1999 by lichenologists Josef Hafellner and Vicent Calatayud. The fungus grows parasitically on Xanthoparmelia lichens. In India it has been reported from the thallus of Xanthoparmelia stenophylla.
Stereocaulon paschale is a species of lichen belonging to the family Stereocaulaceae.
Veli Johannes Paavo Bartholomeus Räsänen was a Finnish lichenologist.
Marchandiomyces corallinus is a lichenicolous fungus that parasitizes lichens, particularly those in the genera Physcia, Parmelia, Flavoparmelia, Lepraria, Pertusaria, Lasallia, and Lecanora. It is commonly found in eastern North America and Europe.
Bacidina pycnidiata is a species of crustose lichen in the family Ramalinaceae. It is widely distributed in Europe and North Asia. It is characterised by its whitish or cream-coloured pycnidia with long and ostiolar necks.
Opegrapha verseghyklarae is a little-known species of lichenicolous (lichen-eating) fungus in the family Teloschistaceae. It is found in the Russian Far East, where it grows on the thalli and apothecia of the crustose lichen Ochrolechia pallescens.
Lecanora lojkahugoi is a species of saxicolous (rock-dwelling) crustose lichen in the family Lecanoraceae. It is found in the Russian Far East and in South Korea.
Xanthoparmelia stenophylla is a species of foliose lichen in the family Parmeliaceae.
Pseudopyrenidium is a genus of lichenicolous (lichen-dwelling) fungi in the family Adelococcaceae. The genus was circumscribed in 2010 by Père Navarro-Rosinés, Mikhail Zhurbenko, and Claude Roux. It has two species:
Pertusaria rupicola is a species of lichen belonging to the family Pertusariaceae.
