New Records ofPlectocarpon lichenumfrom Białowieża Forest (Poland)

Researchers have documented the first occurrence of Plectocarpon lichenum, a lichenicolous fungus, in Białowieża Primeval Forest (Poland), marking its rediscovery in the country after over a century. The study, published in Herzogia, highlights this rare find alongside an updated compilation of lichenicolous fungi recorded in the site. The research relied on field observations and taxonomic analysis to identify and confirm the species' presence, contributing valuable data to the biodiversity records of one of Europe's oldest and most significant forests.
