Abstract

The article presents the most interesting data on 12 lichen species and 62 lichenicolous microfungi collected by the author in Hungary in recent years. Among the lichens, Absconditella trivialis and Vezdaea acicularis are reported first time in Hungary. Among the lichenicolous fungi, Dacampia cladoniicola, Libertiella malmedyensis, Lichenohendersonia varians, Microcera physciae, Polycoccum peltigerae, Pronectria dealbans, Pyrenidium actinellum, Stigmidium fuscatae, S. mycobilimbiae, S. squamarinicola, Trichonectria hirta, Xenonectriella physciacearum, and Zyzygomyces physconiae are also new to the country. Of particular significance is the discovery of four new populations of the basidiolichen Lichenomphalia meridionalis, which until now had only been recorded once in Central Europe, in the Transdanubian Mountains. Also noteworthy is the new occurrence of Gyalidea asteriscus, a steppe lichen species associated with open loess surfaces and loess walls, in Gerecse, as well as the discovery of the arctic-alpine to boreal-montane lichen Lecidea berengeriana at two locations in Bükk Mts.
