Arthonia ligniariella new to Finland

Arthonia ligniariella Coppins is reported for the first time from Finland. The specimen was collected on a dead, standing pine tree in Vesijako strict nature reserve in southern Finland. It is likely an overlooked species in Finland and possibly rare. It should be looked for in old-growth forests on dead wood and bark of various tree species, as well as on moribund mosses.Peer reviewe
