A Second Lichen-Forming Species of Cheiromycina From Austria

Abstract

AbstractA second species of the lichen-forming hyphomycete genus Cheiromycina B. Sutton, C. petri D. Hawksw. & Poelt sp.nov., is described from old Betula bark in Steiermark, Austria. It differs from C. flabelliformis B. Sutton in thallus colour, the more compact blue-grey non-eroding sporodochia, the very tightly dichotomously branched conidia, and in having much shorter terminal branches.
