Fungi that are barely lichenized or non-lichenized and closely related to lichenized taxa,the so-called borderline fungi,are an important element in reconstructing the evolutionary history of lichenized lineages.Artho...

The checklist is based on 137 references and it includes data on the distribution of 220 taxa of lichenicolous fungi in Ukraine.Four species are based on dubious records.The Crimea(80 species)and Carpathians Mts(64 sp...
A two-locus phylogenetic hypothesis of the family Roccellaceae is presented based on data from the nuclear ribosomal large subunit(nucLSU)and the second largest subunit of RNA polymerase II(RPB2).This analysis include...
Finally,the first author acknowledges financial support from the Fonds National de la Recherche Scientifique(FNRS)from Belgium(F.R.F.C.#2.4567.08).
Lichenicolous fungi belonging to the anamorphtypified genus Phaeosporobolus and to the teleomorph-typified genus Lichenostigma were isolated in pure culture or sequenced directly,with nuLSU and mtSSU sequences obtaine...
Morphological,anatomical,chemical and molecular data suggest that a relatively common lichenicolous coelomycete on Lecanora conizaeoides is conspecific with Phoma cytospora,previously known only from parmelioid lichen...
