Notes on two lichenicolous Epigloea species from Central Europe

Paweł Czarnota, Emil Hernik

Abstract


Taxonomic remarks, known distribution, ecological notes and new records in Central Europe for two species of Epigloea are provided. Many specimens recognized here under E. soleiformis characterize slightly wider and more ellipsoid ascospores than those described in the protologue but they are regarded as some kind of a phenetic variability of this species. E. soleiformis seems to be not only algicolous fungus but also facultatively lichenicolous on Placynthiella spp. and terricolous Peltigera spp. while E. urosperma is found to be exclusively lichenicolous on Placynthiella dasaea. E. soleiformis is new for the Western Carpathians and the Harz Mts, and E. urosperma is new for whole Carpathians.
