Abstract
In this contribution, new data concerning bryophytes, fungi, and lichens of the Italian flora are presented. It includes new records and confirmations for the bryophyte generaAneura,Aulacomnium,Dumortiera,Fossombronia,Hennediella,Hygrohypnella,Pohlia,Porella,Riccardia,Tortella, andTortula, the fungal generaCortinarius,Mycena,Naucoria,Trichoglossum, andTubariaand the lichen generaAgonimia,Blastenia,Chaenotheca,Cladonia,Endocarpon,Gyalecta,Lecanographa,Parmeliella,Porpidia,Stenhammarella, andThelidium.
Highlights
Aneura pinguis is a cosmopolitan species, ranging from Europe, Asia, Australia, and New Zealand to North America and Mexico (Paton 1999)
Dumortiera hirsuta (Sw.) Nees subsp. hirsuta is an euoceanic- w. mediterraneanmacaronesian species, widely distributed in tropical regions. This frondose liverwort is listed as Endangered by Rossi et al (2013) and Near Threatened (NT) by Hodgetts et al (2019)
Fossombronia caespitiformis subsp. multispira is a Mediterranean-Atlantic taxon, usually growing on thin soil over rocky cliffs and along the side of paths, in microsites which are moist in winter but dry in summer
Summary
+ LIG: “IT1331721 Val Noci - Torrente Geirato - Alpesisa”, Rio Val Noci, Montoggio (Genova), rock in torrent (UTM WGS84: 32 T 502634.4918701), 500 m, 6 August 2020, I. Arboris-vitae was no longer recorded for Liguria (before 1968), despite it’s presence in most of the surrounding Italian regions (Aleffi et al 2020). We found this species within a Tilio-Acerion mixed forest referring to the Directive 92/43/ CEE Habitat of priority interest code 9180*. Flavovirens occurs in most of the Italian administrative regions (Aleffi et al 2020) and in several Mediterranean countries (Ros et al 2013), growing in rock crevices or sand dunes in the basal zone, mainly along the coast (Cortini Pedrotti 2001). Tortella inclinata is a temperate species, that thrives in harsh conditions It is a tuft-forming moss, that grows often in basiphytic and xerophytic conditions. The combination of foliar characters, i.e., absence of papillae on the costa, ascending hyaline cells, acute and cucullate apex, make it distinguishable from related species, such as T. densa (Lorentz & Molendo) Crundw. & Nyholm, T. flavovirens (Bruch) Broth. var. flavovirens, and Trichostomum brachydontium Bruch
