Anahtar sözcükler: Ascomycota, likenikol mantarlar, biyoçeşitlilik Introduction The genus Cercidospora Körb. includes fungi obligately growing on lichens and more rarely colonies of soil algae (Navarro-Rosinés et al., 2004). The lichenicolous species seem to be commensalistic to weakly pathogenic by suppressing the ascospore production in the host lichens especially when they infect the host ascomata. The species of the genus are abundant in the northern hemisphere but are also known from South America (Navarro-Rosinés et al., 2004).
