Lichens and lichenicolous fungi of the “Wrzosowisko Sowno” nature reserve (NW Poland)

Abstract

Lichens of the “Wrzosowisko Sowno” nature reserve in the western part of Polish Pomerania were studied in 2006 and 2014. Within the examined area, 90 species of lichens were observed. Eighteen species are included in the red list of threatened lichens in Poland, eight as vulnerable (VU) (Bacidia rubella, Bryoria fuscescens, Buellia disciformis, Calicium viride, Ochrolechia androgyna, Pertusaria pertusa, Pseudoschismatomma rufescens, Ramalina farinacea, R. pollinaria and Tuckermannopsis chlorophylla), seven as near threatened (NT) (Chaenotheca furfuracea, Evernia prunastri, Graphis scripta, Hypogymnia tubulosa, Pertusaria coccodes, Vulpicida pinastri and Zwackhia viridis), two as endangered (EN)( Melanelixia glabra and Pleurostica acetabulum) and one as critically (CR) (Melanohalea exasperata).
