Abstract
Abstract Two species of lichen-forming fungi with pyrenocarpous ascomata are described as new to science: Aspidothelium silverstonei and Astrothelium fuscosporum. The epiphytic lichens were found in Chocó Biogeographic region of Colombia. Aspidothelium silverstonei is characterized by the largest muriform ascospores known in the genus, while Astrothelium fuscosporum is the first species of Astrothelium known to produce pigmented ascospores.
期刊介绍:
Cryptogamie is divided into three sections, each published as an individual publication: Cryptogamie, Bryologie, Cryptogamie, Algologie and Cryptogamie, Mycologie. Cryptogamie is a French journal of international scope publishing in several European languages. It accepts original papers and review articles on the systematics, biology and ecology of all cryptogams (algae; bryophytes; fungi and lichens, respectively).
