Lichens recorded during the autumnal bryo-lichenological meeting in Železné hory Mts (Czech Republic), September 2009

Abstract

164 lichen-forming fungi and 7 non-lichenized fungi were recorded from the Ţelezné hory Mts (Bohemia). There are a few localities rich in overlooked lichens in the region.

We have collected several noteworthy lichen species, e.g. Calicium pinastri, Parmelia ernstiae, Porina lectissima, P. leptalea, Porocyphus coccodes, Rhizocarpon badioatrum, Staurothele fissa, and Verrucaria aethiobola.

Bacidina caligans and Lecidea ahlesii are new to the Czech Republic.
