文摘Dothideomycetes comprise a highly diverse range of fungi characterized mainly by asci with two wall layers(bitunicate asci)and often with fissitunicate dehiscence.Many species are saprobes,with many asexual states comprising important plant pathogens.They are also endophytes,epiphytes,fungicolous,lichenized,or lichenicolous fungi.They occur in terrestrial,freshwater and marine habitats in almost every part of the world.We accept 105 families in Dothideomycetes with the new families Anteagloniaceae,Bambusicolaceae,Biatriosporaceae,Lichenoconiaceae,Muyocopronaceae,Paranectriellaceae,Roussoellaceae,Salsugineaceae,Seynesiopeltidaceae and Thyridariaceae introduced in this paper.Each family is provided with a description and notes,including asexual and asexual states,and if more than one genus is included,the type genus is also characterized.Each family is provided with at least one figure-plate,usually illustrating the type genus,a list of accepted genera,including asexual genera,and a key to these genera.A phylogenetic tree based on four gene combined analysis add support for 64 of the families and 22 orders,including the novel orders,Dyfrolomycetales,Lichenoconiales,Lichenotheliales,Monoblastiales,Natipusillales,Phaeotrichales and Strigulales.The paper is expected to provide a working document on Dothideomycetes which can be modified as new data comes to light.It is hoped that by illustrating types we provide stimulation and interest so that more work is carried out in this remarkable group of fungi.

文摘The history of assigning ranks to fungi,as well as the relative importance of using divergence time estimates is reviewed.The paper pays tribute to the major mycological players,and especially to David Hawksworth on his 70th birthday and his contribution to fungal ranking in Systema Ascomycetum from 1982 to 1998.Following the conclusion of the latter series,the ranking continued with the Outlines of Ascomycota in 2007 and 2010 and more recently with specific classes in‘Towards an outline of Sordariomycetes’and‘Families of Dothideomycetes’.Earlier classifications based on phenotype were certainly more subjective;however,remarkably many of these old arrangements have stood the test of time.More recently,phylogenetic analyses have provided evidence towards a natural classification,resulting in significant changes in many lineages.The classification arrangements however,are still subjective and dependent on the taxa analysed,resulting in different taxonomic interpretations and schemes,particularly when it comes to ranking.Thus,what have been considered as genera by some,have been introduced as families by others.More recently,estimation of divergence times using molecular clock methods have been used as objective evidence for higher ranking of taxa.A divergence period(i.e.200–300 MYA)can be used as a criterion to infer when a group of related taxa evolved and what rank they should be given.We compiled data on divergence times for various higher ranking taxa in the Kingdom Fungi.The kingdom evolved 1000–1600 MYA(Stenian–Calymmian),while the presently accepted phyla evolved between 358 and 541 MYA(Devonian–Cambrian).Divergence times for subphyla are generally between 358 and 485 MYA(Devonian–Ordovician),those of classes 145–358 MYA(Jurassic–Carboniferous),subclasses 66–358 MYA(Cretaceous–Carboniferous),orders 23–252 MYA(Paleogene–Triassic),families 2.8–145 MYA(Neogene–Cretaceous),and genera 2.8–66 MYA(Neogene–Paleogene).Thus,there are wide discrepancies in the times different taxa diverged.We provide an overview over Ascomycota,showing how application of temporal banding could affect the recognition of higher taxa at certain rank levels.We then use Sordariomycetes as an example where we use divergence times to provide additional evidence to stabilize ranking of taxa below class level.We propose a series of evolutionary periods that could be used as a guide to determine the various higher ranks of fungi:phyla[550 MYA,subphyla 400–550 MYA;classes 300–400 MYA;subclasses 250–300 MYA,orders 150–250 MYA,and families 50–150 MYA.It is proposed that classification schemes and ranking of taxa should,where possible,incorporate a polyphasic approach including phylogeny,phenotype,and estimate of divergence times.

文摘Strigula sensu lato has been previously defined based on phenotype characters as a rather broad genus including tropical to temperate species growing on a wide array of substrata.In this study,based on a multilocus phylogenetic approach,we show that foliicolous species form six well-delimited clades that correlate with diagnostic phenotype features,including thallus morphology,carbonization of the involucrellum and excipulum,ascospore dimensions,and type of macroconidia.Given the topology,with five of the six clades emerging on long stem branches,and the strong phenotypical differentiation between the clades,we recognize these at the genus level,making mostly use of previously established genus names.Four genera,namely Phylloporis,Puiggariella,Raciborskiella,and Racoplaca,are resurrected for the S.phyllogena,S.nemathora,S.janeirensis,and S.subtilissima groups,respectively,whereas one new genus,Serusiauxiella gen.nov.,is introduced for a novel lineage with peculiar macroconidia.The only sequenced non-foliicolous species,S.jamesii,is not closely related to these six foliicolous lineages but clusters with Flavobathelium and Phyllobathelium,revealing it as an additional undescribed genus-level lineage being treated elsewhere.Within the new genus Serusiauxiella,three new species are described:Serusiauxiella filifera sp.nov.,S.flagellata sp.nov.,and S.sinensis sp.nov.In addition,ten new combinations are proposed:Phylloporis austropunctata comb.nov.,P.radiata comb.nov.,P.vulgaris comb.nov.,Puiggariella confluens comb.et stat.nov.,P.nemathora comb.nov.,P.nigrocincta comb.nov.,Racoplaca maculata comb.nov.,R.melanobapha comb.nov.,R.transversoundulata,and R.tremens comb.nov.We also report on a peculiar,previously unrecognized growth behaviour of the macroconidial appendages in Strigula s.lat.

文摘Article 59.1,of the International Code of Nomenclature for Algae,Fungi,and Plants(ICN;Melbourne Code),which addresses the nomenclature of pleomorphic fungi,became effective from 30 July 2011.Since that date,each fungal species can have one nomenclaturally correct name in a particular classification.All other previously used names for this species will be considered as synonyms.The older generic epithet takes priority over the younger name.Any widely used younger names proposed for use,must comply with Art.57.2 and their usage should be approved by the Nomenclature Committee for Fungi(NCF).In this paper,we list all genera currently accepted by us in Dothideomycetes(belonging to 23 orders and 110 families),including pleomorphic and nonpleomorphic genera.In the case of pleomorphic genera,we follow the rulings of the current ICN and propose single generic names for future usage.The taxonomic placements of 1261 genera are listed as an outline.Protected names and suppressed names for 34 pleomorphic genera are listed separately.Notes and justifications are provided for possible proposed names after the list of genera.Notes are also provided on recent advances in our understanding of asexual and sexual morph linkages in Dothideomycetes.A phylogenetic tree based on four gene analyses supported 23 orders and 75 families,while 35 families still lack molecular data.

文摘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.Arthoniaceae is a prime example including non-lichenized,saprotrophic lineages which potentially were precursors to lichenized taxa.In this study,we focused on saprotrophic species of Arthonia sensu lato,including new sequence data for Arthonia pinastri.We obtained fresh material of this taxon from a living branch of Fraxinus ornus in Italy to assess its taxonomic status and to elucidate its phylogenetic relationships within Arthonia.Thin sections of the thallus and ascomata of A.pinastri confirmed the absence of a photobiont.Maximum likelihood and Bayesian analyses of combined mtSSU,nuLSU and RPB2 sequence data placed the species close to A.dispersa(barely lichenized or non-lichenized)and A.punctiformis(non-lichenized)in a clade closely related to Arthonia sensu stricto,and the A.pinastri clade is here resurrected under the name Naevia.Ancestral character state analysis within a broader context of Arthoniales does not support the saprotrophic lifestyle to be a plesiomorphic feature,but suggests loss of lichenization in Naevia,as well as loss and possible regain in a second clade containing saprotrophic species and including taxa resembling Mycoporum,underlining the evolutionary plasticity of Arthoniales.These two clades constitute model taxa to further investigate the evolution of alternative biological lifestyles within the context of chiefly lichenized taxa.

文摘Numerous new taxa and classifications of Dothideomycetes have been published following the last monograph of families of Dothideomycetes in 2013.A recent publication by Honsanan et al.in 2020 expanded information of families in Dothideo-mycetidae and Pleosporomycetidae with modern classifications.In this paper,we provide a refined updated document on orders and families incertae sedis of Dothideomycetes.Each family is provided with an updated description,notes,including figures to represent the morphology,a list of accepted genera,and economic and ecological significances.We also provide phylogenetic trees for each order.In this study,31 orders which consist 50 families are assigned as orders incertae sedis in Dothideomycetes,and 41 families are treated as families incertae sedis due to lack of molecular or morphological evidence.The new order,Catinellales,and four new families,Catinellaceae,Morenoinaceae Neobuelliellaceae and Thyrinulaceae are introduced.Seven genera(Neobuelliella,Pseudomicrothyrium,Flagellostrigula,Swinscowia,Macroconstrictolumina,Pseudobogoriella,and Schummia)are introduced.Seven new species(Acrospermum urticae,Bogoriella complexoluminata,Dothiorella ostryae,Dyfrolomyces distoseptatus,Macroconstrictolumina megalateralis,Patellaria microspora,and Pseu-domicrothyrium thailandicum)are introduced base on morphology and phylogeny,together with two new records/reports and five new collections from different families.Ninety new combinations are also provided in this paper.

文摘Molecular phylogenies using 1–4 gene regions and information on ecology,morphology and pigment chemistry were used in a partial revision of the agaric family Hygrophoraceae.The phylogenetically supported genera we recognize here in the Hygrophoraceae based on these and previous analyses are:Acantholichen,Ampulloclitocybe,Arrhenia,Cantharellula,Cantharocybe,Chromosera,Chrysomphalina,Cora,Corella,Cuphophyllus,Cyphellostereum,Dictyonema,Eonema,Gliophorus,Haasiella,Humidicutis,Hygroaster,Hygrocybe,Hygrophorus,Lichenomphalia,Neohygrocybe,Porpolomopsis and Pseudoarmillariella.A new genus that is sister to Chromosera is described as Gloioxanthomyces.Revisions were made at the ranks of subfamily,tribe,genus,subgenus,section and subsection.We present three new subfamilies,eight tribes(five new),eight subgenera(one new,one new combination and one stat.nov.),26 sections(five new and three new combinations and two stat.nov.)and 14 subsections(two new,two stat.nov.).Species of Chromosera,Gliophorus,Humidicutis,and Neohygrocybe are often treated within the genus Hygrocybe;we therefore provide valid names in both classification systems.We used a minimalist approach in transferring genera and creating new names and combinations.Consequently,we retain in the Hygrophoraceae the basal cuphophylloid grade comprising the genera Cuphophyllus,Ampulloclitocybe andCantharocybe,despite weak phylogenetic support.We include Aeruginospora and Semiomphalina in Hygrophoraceae based on morphology though molecular data are lacking.The lower hygrophoroid clade is basal to Hygrophoraceae s.s.,comprising the genera Aphroditeola,Macrotyphula,Phyllotopsis,Pleurocybella,Sarcomyxa,Tricholomopsis and Typhula.

文摘A revised classification for the emended family Graphidaceae is proposed,based on recent phylogenetic studies,including the finding that three previously separated families(Asterothyriaceae,Gomphillaceae,Thelotremataceae)are nested within Graphidaceae and in part polyphyletic.The family comprises three major clades which are here delimited as subfamilies Fissurinoideae,Gomphilloideae,and Graphidoideae.The latter is composed of three major clades which are formally delimited as tribes Graphideae,Ocellularieae,and Thelotremateae.In addition,three new genera are described to accommodate the Ocellularia clandestina(Clandestinotrema)group,the Ocellularia cruentata group(Cruentotrema)and Myriotrema pycnoporellum(Pycnotrema).

文摘We present a revised molecular phylogeny of higher Basidiomycota focusing on Lepidostromataceae based on the large subunit(28S)of the nuclear ribosomal rDNA(nuLSU),with additionl data from the translation elongation factor 1 alpha 1(TEF1)and the RNA polymerase II second largest subunit(RPB2)genes.Our results suggest that Lepidostromataceae is best recognized in a separate order,Lepidostromatales ordo novum,within subclass Agaricomycetidae.Furthermore,the internal topology of Lepidostromataceae,correlating with thallus features,indicates that three genera,instead of a single genus,should be recognized.We therefore introduce the genera Ertzia genus novum and Sulzbacheromyces genus novum for Lepidostroma akagerae and L.caatingae,respectively.In addition,the new species L.winklerianum spec.nova is described for Mexican material previously identified as L.calocerum.The photobionts of Sulzbacheromyces and Lepidostroma were identified using molecular data of the large subunit of the ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase(rbcL)gene,revealing a possibly undescribed genus in Trebouxiophyceae and the first report of lichenization for the genus Bracteacoccus in Chlorophyceae.
文摘Lichens are symbiotic associations resulting from interactions among fungi(primary and secondary mycobionts),algae and/or cyanobacteria(primary and secondary photobionts),and specific elements of the bacterial microbiome associated with the lichen thallus.The question of what is a species,both concerning the lichen as a whole and its main fungal component,the primary mycobiont,has faced many challenges throughout history and has reached new dimensions with the advent of molecular phylogenetics and phylogenomics.In this paper,we briefly revise the definition of lichens and the scientific and vernacular naming conventions,concluding that the scientific,Latinized name usually associated with lichens invariably refers to the primary mycobiont,whereas the vernacular name encompasses the entire lichen.Although the same lichen mycobiont may produce different phenotypes when associating with different photobionts or growing in axenic culture,this discrete variation does not warrant the application of different scientific names,but must follow the principle"one fungus=one name".Instead,broadly agreed informal designations should be used for such discrete morphologies,such as chloromorph and cyanomorph for lichens formed by the same mycobiont but with either green algae or cyanobacteria.The taxonomic recognition of species in lichen-forming fungi is not different from other fungi and conceptual and nomenclatural approaches follow the same principles.We identify a number of current challenges and provide recommendations to address these.Species delimitation in lichen-forming fungi should not be tailored to particular species concepts but instead be derived from empirical evidence,applying one or several of the following principles in what we call the LPR approach:lineage(L)coherence vs.divergence(phylogenetic component),phenotype(P)coherence vs.divergence(morphological component),and/or reproductive(R)compatibility vs.isolation(biological component).Species hypotheses can be established based on either L or P,then using either P or L(plus R)to corroborate them.The reliability of species hypotheses depends not only on the nature and number of characters but also on the context:the closer the relationship and/or similarity between species,the higher the number of characters and/or specimens that should be analyzed to provide reliable delimitations.Alpha taxonomy should follow scientific evidence and an evolutionary framework but should also offer alternative practical solutions,as long as these are scientifically defendable.Taxa that are delimited phylogenetically but not readily identifiable in the field,or are genuinely cryptic,should not be rejected due to the inaccessibility of proper tools.Instead,they can be provisionally treated as undifferentiated complexes for purposes that do not require precise determinations.The application of infraspecific(gamma)taxonomy should be restricted to cases where there is a biological rationale,i.e.,lineages of a species complex that show limited phylogenetic divergence but no evidence of reproductive isolation.Gamma taxonomy should not be used to denote discrete phenotypical variation or ecotypes not warranting the distinction at species level.We revise the species pair concept in lichen-forming fungi,which recognizes sexually and asexually reproducing morphs with the same underlying phenotype as different species.We conclude that in most cases this concept does not hold,but the actual situation is complex and not necessarily correlated with reproductive strategy.In cases where no molecular data are available or where single or multi-marker approaches do not provide resolution,we recommend maintaining species pairs until molecular or phylogenomic data are available.This recommendation is based on the example of the species pair Usnea aurantiacoatra vs.U.antarctica,which can only be resolved with phylogenomic approaches,such as microsatellites or RADseq.Overall,we consider that species delimitation in lichen-forming fungi has advanced dramatically over the past three decades,resulting in a solid framework,but that empirical evidence is still missing for many taxa.Therefore,while phylogenomic approaches focusing on particular examples will be increasingly employed to resolve difficult species complexes,broad screening using single barcoding markers will aid in placing as many taxa as possible into a molecular matrix.We provide a practical pro-tocol how to assess and formally treat taxonomic novelties.While this paper focuses on lichen fungi,many of the aspects discussed herein apply generally to fungal taxonomy.The new combination Arthonia minor(Lücking)Lücking comb.et stat.nov.(Bas.:Arthonia cyanea f.minor Lücking)is proposed.

文摘Based on an unexpected result of obtaining molecular sequence data from tropical representatives of the genus Normandina,we revised the biological concept of the neotropical taxon Marchandiomphalina foliacea.The obtained data let us conclude that M.foliacea is not a basidiomycete,as originally proposed,but belongs in Verrucariaceae,in the genus Agonimia,including its perithecia which had been identified with the lichenicolous Norrlinia peltigericola.The ITS(and nuLSU)sequences previously obtained from M.foliacea,seemingly confirming its status as a basidiomycete,are from an unmanifested lichenicolous fungus,present also in numerous specimens of Normandina.ITS data suggest the presence of seven lineages that can be recognized at the species level,forming two clusters:one cluster of three lineages found in thalli of M.foliacea,and a second cluster of four lineages found in thalli of Normandina.This pattern is similar to what has recently been found in the basidiomycete genus Cyphobasidium occurring predominantly in Parmeliaceae lichens.We propose the combination of Omphalina foliacea into the genus Agonimia,as Agonimia foliacea(P.M.Jørg.)Lucking&Moncada,comb.nov.,and place Marchandiomphalina in synonymy with Agonimia.To formally recognize the unnamed lichenicolous basidiomycete present in Agonimia and Normandina thalli,we take advantage of provision ICN Art.40.5 in the Code and describe the unmanifested fungus as a new genus,with seven new species,even if no physical type specimens can be preserved(except for the corresponding host lichens which,however,do not show the features of the fungus):Lawreymyces Lucking&Moncada,gen.nov.(Type:L.palicei),with L.bogotensis Lucking&Moncada,sp.nov.,L.columbiensis Lucking&Moncada,sp.nov.,L.confusus Lucking&Moncada,sp.nov.,L,foliaceae Lucking&Moncada,sp.nov.,L.palicei Lucking&Moncada,sp.nov.,L.pulchellae Lucking&Moncada,sp.nov.,and L.spribillei Lucking&Moncada,sp.nov.This opens the door to the formal recognition of thousands of species of voucherless fungi detected through environmental sequencing techniques under the current Code.

文摘We present a molecular phylogenetic study of the lichen genus Sticta focusing on Colombia,using the ITS fungal barcoding gene for a total of 370 ingroup OTUs,with 322 newly generated sequences.The topology resulting from a maximum likelihood approach does not support current species concepts in Sticta,which use a morphological concept,but in contrast shows that similar morphodemes evolved multiple times independently within the genus.As a consequence,currently applied names such as S.fuliginosa and S.weigelii comprise numerous(up to more than 20)unrelated species-level lineages,which can be distinguished also phenotypically using previously unrecognized characters such as lobe configuration,lobe surface structure,tomentum type,and anatomy of the basal membrane of the cyphellae.We conclude that the genus Sticta contains about four to five times the number of species currently recognized.In Colombia alone,approximately 150 species of Sticta are present.

文摘This study is a re-assessment of basidiolichen diversity in the Galapagos Islands.We present a molecular phylogenetic analysis,based on 92 specimens from Galapagos,using two nuclear ribosomal DNA markers(ITS and nuLSU).We also re-examined the morphology and anatomy of all sequenced material.The molecular results confirm our previous assessment that all Galapagos basidiolichens belong to the Dictyonema clade,which in Galapagos is represented by four genera:Acantholichen,Cora,Cyphellostereum,and Dictyonema.Most species previously reported from Galapagos in these genera were at the time believed to represent widely distributed taxa.This conclusion,however,has changed with the inclusion of molecular data.Although almost the same number of species is distinguished,the phylogenetic data now suggest that all are restricted to the Galapagos Islands.Among them,six species are proposed here as new to science,namely Cora galapagoensis,Cyphellostereum unoquinoum,Dictyonema barbatum,D.darwinianum,D.ramificans,and D.subobscuratum;and four species have already been described previously,namely Acantholichen galapagoensis,Cora santacruzensis,Dictyonema pectinatum,and D.galapagoense,here recombined as Cyphellostereum galapagoense.Our analysis is set on a very broad phylogenetic framework,which includes a large number of specimens(N=826)mainly from Central and South America,and therefore strongly suggests an unusually high level of endemism previously not recognized.This analysis also shows that the closest relatives of half of the basidiolichens now found in Galapagos are from mainland Ecuador,implying that they reached the islands through the shortest route,with all species arriving on the islands through independent colonization events.

文摘A survey of crustose microlichens at Los Amigos Biological Station in Amazonian Peru revealed 116 species of Graphidaceae at this site.This is the second highest number of Graphidaceae ever reported for a single site world-wide,after the Surumoni crane station in Venezuela,with 131 species,and followed by Fakahatchee Strand Park Preserve in Florida,with 111 species.Based on the number of Graphidaceae found at Los Amigos,we predict the total lichen species richness at this site to be approximately 700 species.Of the 116 species encountered at Los Amigos,59 were graphidoid species(former Graphidaceae s.str.)and 67 thelotremoid species(former Thelotremataceae).The following 18 species are described as new:Ampliotrema sorediatum Rivas Plata&Lücking,spec.nova,Chapsa hypoconstictica Rivas Plata&Lücking,spec.nova,Chapsa scabiocarpa Rivas Plata&Lücking,spec.nova,Chapsa subsorediata Rivas Plata&Lücking,spec.nova,Diorygma nigricans Rivas Plata&Lücking,spec.nova,Fissurina flavomedullosa Rivas Plata&Lücking,spec.nova,Fissurina platythecioides Rivas Plata&Lücking,spec.nova,Graphis apertoinspersa Rivas Plata&Lücking,spec.nova,Graphis pitmanii Rivas Plata&Lücking,spec.nova,Leucodecton inspersum Rivas Plata&Lücking,spec.nova,Ocellularia cicra Rivas Plata&Lücking,spec.nova,Ocellularia fenestrata Rivas Plata&Lücking,spec.nova,Ocellularia microsorediata Rivas Plata&Lücking,spec.nova,Ocellularia natashae Rivas Plata&Lücking,spec.nova,Ocellularia plicata Rivas Plata&Lücking,spec.nova,Ocellularia protoinspersa Rivas Plata&Lücking,spec.nova,Ocellularia pustulata Rivas Plata&Lücking,spec.nova,and Thelotrema amazonicum Rivas Plata&Lücking,spec.nova.

文摘As part of an ongoing comprehensive inventory of Galapagos lichens,a first assessment of the morphology and anatomy of basidiolichens from the archipelago is presented here.It is the basis for further studies of the taxonomy,ecology and biogeography of this poorly known group of lichens.Four genera,all in Hygrophoraceae,can be distinguished:Acantholichen,Cora,Cyphellostereum and Dictyonema.Both Acantholichen and Cora are characterized by chroococcoid cyanobionts and a heteromerous thallus with a distinct upper cortex and photobiont layer.The monotypic Acantholichen pannarioides is entirely composed of small,branched,inflated squamules that appear densely pruinose because their cortical hyphae bear characteristically swollen,densely spinose end cells(acanthohyphidia);this species has never been observed fertile.The common Cora glabrata is foliose,forming large,radially zonate,conch-like,often tiled thalli,when fertile with circular lines of basidiocarps on its lower side.Dictyonema is distinguished by filamentous cyanobionts and distinctly filamentous thalli that are homomereous(i.e.,not distinctly layered);all species of Dictyonema s.str.have trichomes(filamentose cyanobacterial photobionts)closely enveloped by fungal cells of a jigsaw pattern.In D.sericeum thallus filaments(i.e.,individual fibrils)aggregate to form shelf-like structures similar in appearance to polyporoid bracket fungi;basidiocarps develop in irregular patches on the lower side of these shelves.In contrast,fibrils of D.schenkianum grow encrusting their substrate with irregularly to suberect trichomes,occasionally bearing basidiocarps dispersed across the thallus.Two other species in Galapagos show adpressed growth form and are described here as new:Dictyonema pectinatum,which is characterized by large parallel fibrils with paler,papillate tips,and D.galapagoense,characterized by thin trichomes of more squarrish elongate cells.The genus Cyphellostereum is represented by two species:the newly described C.imperfectum and an unnamed Cyphellostereum sp.,both phenotypically similar to free-living cyanobacterial filaments.Cyphellostereum imperfectum has narrow photobiont filaments with irregular hyphal sheath leaving interspaces;macroscopically it shows a bluish green thallus with a distinct prothallus.Cyphellostereum sp.has a rather uncommon basidiolichen appearance:thin sctytonematoid fibrils surrounded by straight fungal cells forming shiny tufts.The new combination Cyphellostereum nitidum is also proposed.The ecology and taxonomy of Galapagos basidiolichens is briefly discussed and a key and short descriptions of all species are presented.
