New or additional cladoniicolous fungi for Turkey

New or additional cladoniicolous fungi for Turkey

This study reports twelve species of cladoniicolous fungi from Turkey. Nine of these taxa, i.e. Abrothallus cladoniae R.Sant. & D.Hawksw., Epicladonia stenospora (Harm.) D.Hawksw., Lichenosticta alcicornaria (Linds.) D.Hawksw., Lichenoconium aeruginosumDiederich, M.Brand, van den Boom & Lawrey, Phoma foliaceiphila Diederich, Kocourk. & Etayo, Scutula cladoniicola Alstrup & D.Hawksw., Sphaerellothecium cladoniicola E.S. Hansen & Alstrup, Syzygospora bachmannii Diederich & M.S.Christ., and Taeniolella beschiana Diederich, are new records for Turkey. A key to these 12 species of lichenicolous fungi on Cladonia species is provided.
