Abstract:We describe Calicium sequoiae as a new species of lichenized Ascomycota from north-western California, USA. The species is distinguished morphologically from other known members of Calicium by its stalks that react I+ blue, mature ascospores that are ornamented with spiral ridges, and apothecia that produce prominent white pruina. It is also the only Calicium known to produce thamnolic acid as a major secondary substance. Sequences from the ITS-region showed C. sequoiae to be unique among calicioid Physciaceae, and phylogenetic analysis positioned it close to C. adspersum, C. chlorosporum, C. lenticulare, Cyphelium notarisii, and C. tigillare. Thus far, Calicium sequoiae has been collected only from old-growth redwood (Sequoia sempervirens) forests, where it occurred on thick, fibrous bark of large redwood trees. A key to the 12 species of Calicium known from the Pacific Northwest is provided.

A New Species

Light and electron microscope observations show that a brackish diatom taxon should be classified as a new species of a new genus; Pseudofrustulia lancea gen. et sp. nov. We propose separating Pseudofrustulia from other similar genera such as Frickea, Frustulia, Amphipleura, Muelleria, and Envekadea on the basis of its thickened axial ribs, raphe endings, axial costae, morphology of helictoglossa, size of striae on valve surfaces, and areolae on the inner side between its axial ribs and raphe. Girdle bands may be another diagnostic feature for the separation of Pseudofrustulia from related taxa, but more detailed observations using SEM images are required to determine if bands are diagnostic.

A New Species

Three species of golden chanterelles were found in Newfoundland and Labrador and were compared with other Cantharellus species by macromorphology, microscopy, and multilocus phylogenetic studies. The commonest species is a member of the C. cibarius group, usually found with Picea, and is differentiated from European C. cibarius by its pinkish-orange rather than yellow hymenium, and from both C. cibarius and C. roseocanus of the Pacific Northwest by its ITS and TEF1 sequences. We describe it as a new species, Cantharellus enelensis; published sequences extend its range to Michigan and Illinois. An uncommon species with reduced, merulioid hymenophore, found growing only with Betula, has rDNA and TEF1 sequences nearly identical to C. amethysteus, but only occasionally shows the amethyst scales on its cap characterizing that species in Europe. Ours is the first report of this species from North America. A third species was recognized by its sequences as C. camphoratus, but our collections, found with Abies balsamea, lack the odour of camphor for which this species was named and have longer and more slender spores than in the original description. This species has not been reported since its description from a single collection in Nova Scotia. All three species are edible.

A species of Lecanora in the L. dispersa group, with a well-developed pale thallus and a granular epihymenium, resembling L. albescens , is found exclusively on shoreline rocks and appears to be new. It is described as Lecanora schofieldii  sp. nov., found mainly in the Pacific Northwest, but also rarely on the northeast coast. Its distinctions from similar species on shoreline rocks are given, together with a key for their identification. The first western record of L. xylophila from rocks is given.
