Two new species of Endocarpon (Verrucariaceae, Ascomycota) from China

Abstract Endocarpon species are key components of biological soil crusts. Phenotypic and systematic molecular analyses were carried out to identify samples of Endocarpon collected from the southeast edge of the Tengger Desert in China. These morphological and molecular analyses revealed two previous...
