Figure A3.

Phylogenetic position of fungal strains belonging to the class Leotiomycetes (a) and habit of representative cultured strains: (b) A1085 (Leotiomycetes) and (c) A1019 (Leotiomycetes). Phylogenetic position of fungal strains belonging to the class Sordariomycetes (d) and habit of representative cultured strain (e) A518 (Sordariomycetes, Coniochaetales). The symbol legend reported describes the identity of the original samples from which the fungi were isolated: lichen species name/lichenicolous fungus species name infecting that lichen thallus. The isolated strains are reported with their DNA ID number; newly characterized strains are in bold; strains already characterized in Muggia et al. [9] and included in the analyses of growth media are not in bold. The nomenclature of the clades follows Muggia et al. [9]. Fully supported branches (bootstrap support = 100%) are in bold. Scale bar = (b) 4 mm, (c) 1 mm, (e) 2 mm.
