The Lichenicolous Fungi of Great Britain and Ireland: an Overview and Annotated Checklist

Takes the number of lichenicolous species to 403, up 85% on the 218 species in the same author's 1983 "Key to the Lichen-forming, Parasitic, Parasymbiotic and Saprophytic Fungi occurring on Lichens in the British Isles".

Unfortunately the present work is just a checklist, with references to published accounts; it gives no help in identification nor information on host relationships.
