The 2016 classification of lichenized fungi in the Ascomycota and Basidiomycota – Approaching one thousand genera (2016, background): “The currently recognized more than 19,000 species of lichen fungi make up 17% of the known 110,000 fungal species and 27% of the known Ascomycota (Feuerer & Hawksworth 2007; Jaklitsch et al. 2016a).”
An arctic community of symbiotic fungi assembled by long‐distance dispersers: phylogenetic diversity of ectomycorrhizal basidiomycetes in Svalbard based on soil and sporocarp DNA (2012, background): “At the same time, all putative Svalbard ‘endemics’ were newly sequenced taxa from diverse genera with massive undocumented diversity.”
The fungi: 1, 2, 3 ... 5.1 million species? (2011, background): “Lichenicolous fungi, parasites, and other associates of lichens are not well collected , but an estimate for the combined lichens and lichenicolous fungi is about 20 000 species ( Feuerer and Hawksworth, 2007 ).”
Endolichenic fungi: a new source of rich bioactive secondary metabolites on the horizon (2016, background): “Ent-kaurane diterpenoids of fungal origin have been rare and mainly reported from Gibberella fujikuroi and Phaeosphaeria sp. L487 (Kawaide 2006), though this class of diterpenoids has frequently been present in several plant families (Garcia et al. 2007).”
Fighting their last stand? A global analysis of the distribution and conservation status of gymnosperms (2015, methodology): “P€artel, 2002; Feuerer & Hawksworth, 2007; Meyer et al., 2012), were used as the basic geographical units.”
Bioactive lichen metabolites: alpine habitats as an untapped source (2011, background): “The lichenous lifestyle is maintained by c. 18,800 known species (Feuerer and Hawksworth 2007).”
