Abrothallus nephromatis is a widely distributed species of lichenicolous fungus in the family Abrothallaceae.[1] It was formally described as a new species in 2015 by Ave Suija and Sergio Pérez-Ortega. The type specimen was collected near Dawson Falls in Wells Gray Provincial Park (British Columbia, Canada) at an elevation of about 800 m (2,600 ft), where it was found on a Nephroma parile lichen that itself was growing on a dead trunk of birch tree. The species epithet refers to the host genus, Nephroma .[2]
Abrothallus nephromatis has been collected from Africa (Tanzania, Uganda); Asia (Russian Far East); Australia and New Zealand; Europe (Italy, Norway, Sweden), Greenland, and North America (Canada, USA). It is distinguished from the similar species Abrothallus boomii by its eight-spored asci and narrower conidia, and from Abrothallus welwitschii by its smaller ascomata and smaller ascospores. The recorded hosts of the fungus are Nephroma parile, N. helveticum , N. rufum , and N. tropicum .[2]
