Abstract
Motiejūnaitė, J. & Skridlaitė, G. 2017. New records of lichens and lichenicolous fungi in Lithuania, mainly from quarries. — Herzogia 30: 126–137.The lichen floras of dolomite, limestone, opoka, clay, sand and gravel quarries, as well the few existing natural dolomite outcrops suitable for lichens in various parts of Lithuania were studied. Also, some lichen records from built-up areas were examined. Quarries and built-up areas proved to be habitats rich in lichens, harbouring a number of rare species, two of which, Lecania leprosa and Stigmidium collematis, are new for the whole Baltic Sea region, and Caloplaca soralifera, Hawksworthiana peltigericola and Skyttella mulleri are recorded for the first time in the Baltic States. Seven lichens, Blennothallia crispa, Dirina massiliensis f. sorediata, Gregorella humida, Hymenelia epulotica, Protoblastenia rupestris, Psoroglaena dictyospora and Thelidium incavatum and two lichenicolous fungi, Didymellopsis pulposi and Stigmidium peltideae, are new for Lithuania. Ecology and conservation issues of rare calcicolous lichens in the country are discussed, and it is noted that transient type of their habitats and the habitat management make lichen protection unfeasible.
