The Fellhanera silicis group in Eastern North America.
Harris RC and Lendemer JC. 2009. The Fellhanera silicis group in Eastern North America.. Opuscula Philolichenum. 6:157-174
A revision of Fellhanera in eastern North America resulted in the discovery of an undescribed complex of closely related taxa differing only in their methods of reproduction and/or the size of their dispersal units. The following species of Fellhanera are described as new to science: F. eriniae, F. fallax, F. granulosa, F. hybrida, F. minnisinkorum, F. montesfumosi, and F. silicis. Additional records for F. floridana are documented. The lichenicolous fungi found on members of the F. silicis group are discussed, including the new species Phaeosporobolus fellhanerae.
