Adolf Hugo Magnusson

	Adolf Hugo Magnusson Adolf Hugo Magnusson (1 March 188514 July 1964) was a Swedish naturalist who specialized in lichenology. He was a school teacher in Gothenburg from 1909 to 1948, but spent his spare time on the study of lichens. He described about 900 new taxa, specializing in the genera ''Lecidea'', ''Lecanora'', ''Caloplaca'', and ''Acarospora''. Life and career Magnusson began studying botany at Uppsala University in 1904, but was forced to cancel his studies for financial reasons after only a year and instead became educated as a primary school teacher. In 1909 he was enrolled at the University of Gothenburg, where he graduated with a bachelor's degree in philosophy in 1913 and a philosophy degree in 1914. He worked as a schoolteacher until his retirement. Magnusson became an internationally renowned lichenologist who described about 900 species in about 150 scientific publications. He studied all kinds of lichens, but was particularly interested in crustose lichens such as ''Acarospora'', ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu]

	Monograph A monograph is a specialist work of writing (in contrast to reference works) or exhibition on a single subject or an aspect of a subject, often by a single author or artist, and usually on a scholarly subject. In library cataloging, ''monograph'' has a broader meaning—that of a nonserial publication complete in one volume (book) or a definite number of volumes. Thus it differs from a serial or periodical publication such as a magazine, academic journal, or newspaper. In this context only, books such as novels are considered monographs.__FORCETOC__ Academia The English term "monograph" is derived from modern Latin "monographia", which has its root in Greek. In the English word, "mono-" means "single" and "-graph" means "something written". Unlike a textbook, which surveys the state of knowledge in a field, the main purpose of a monograph is to present primary research and original scholarship ascertaining reliable credibility to the required recipient. This research is ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu]
	Dermatocarpon Magnussonii ''Dermatocarpon'' is a genus of lichens in the family Verrucariaceae. Members of the genus are commonly called stippleback lichens because they have fruiting structures called perithecia that are flask-shaped structures embedded in the nonfruiting body ( thallus), with a hole in the top to release spores, causing an appearance of being covered with small black dots.Field Guide to California Lichens, Stephen Sharnoff, Yale University Press, 2014, Species '' Dermatocarpon americanum'' ''Dermatocarpon arenosaxi'' – United States '' Dermatocarpon arnoldianum'' ''Dermatocarpon atrogranulosum'' – Canada ''Dermatocarpon bachmannii'' '' Dermatocarpon deminuens'' ''Dermatocarpon dolomiticum'' – United States ''Dermatocarpon intestiniforme'' ''Dermatocarpon leptophyllodes'' ''Dermatocarpon leptophyllum'' ''Dermatocarpon linkolae'' ''Dermatocarpon lorenzianum'' ''Dermatocarpon luridum'' ''Dermatocarpon meiophyllizum'' ''Dermatocarpon moulinsii'' ''Der ...

	Cladonia Magnussonii ''Cladonia'' is a genus of moss-like lichens in the family Cladoniaceae. They are the primary food source for reindeer/caribou. ''Cladonia'' species are of economic importance to reindeer-herders, such as the Sami in Scandinavia or the Nenets in Russia. Antibiotic compounds are extracted from some species to create antibiotic cream. The light green species ''Cladonia stellaris'' is used in flower decorations. Although the phylogeny of the genus ''Cladonia'' is still under investigation, two main morphological groups are commonly differentiated by taxonomists: the ''Cladonia'' morpho-type and the ''Cladina'' morpho-type. The ''Cladonia'' morpho-type has many more species, and is generally described as a group of squamulose (grow from squamules), cup-bearing lichens. The ''Cladina'' morpho-types are often referred to as forage lichens, mat-forming lichens, or reindeer lichens (due to their importance as caribou winter forage).

	Cetraria Magnussonii ''Cetraria'' is a genus of fruticose lichens that associate with green algae as photobionts. Most species are found at high latitudes, occurring on sand or heath. Species have a characteristic "strap-like" form, with spiny lobe edges. ''Cetraria islandica'', Iceland moss, is one of the few culinary lichens, ground and eaten by Northern Europeans in times of famine. Another species is used today as a "bulking" agent in garam masala of traditional Indian cuisine.

	Caloplaca Magnussonii ''Caloplaca'' is a lichen genus comprising a number of distinct species. Members of the genus are commonly called firedot lichen, jewel lichen.Field Guide to California Lichens, Stephen Sharnoff, Yale University Press, 2014, gold lichens, "orange lichens", but they are not always orange, as in the case of '' C. albovariegata''. The distribution of this lichen genus is worldwide, extending from Antarctica to the high Arctic. It includes a portion of northern North America and the Russian High Arctic. There are about thirty species of ''Caloplaca'' in the flora of the British Isles. An example species in this genus is '' Caloplaca saxicola'', a lichen with worldwide distribution including the Antarctic continent, Europe and northern North America including the northern reaches of the Canadian boreal forests. A new species of ''Caloplaca'', '' C. obamae'', the first species to be named in honor of Barack Obama, was discovered in 2007 on Santa Rosa Island in California a ...

	Acarospora Magnussonii ''Acarospora'' is a genus of mostly lichen-forming fungi in the family Acarosporaceae. Most species in the genus are crustose lichens that grow on rocks in open and arid places all over the world. They may look like a cobblestone road or cracked up old paint, and are commonly called cobblestone lichens or cracked lichens.Field Guide to California Lichens, Stephen Sharnoff, Yale University Press, 2014, They usually grow on rock (are " saxicolous"), but some grow on soil (terricolous) or on other lichens. Some species in the genus are fungi that live as parasites on other lichens (lichenicolous fungi). ''Acarospora'' is a widely distributed genus, with about 128 species according to a 2008 estimate. Species in ''Acarospora'' may be shiny as if covered with a glossy varnish, or dull and powdery looking. They have a diverse range of colors, from the brilliant yellow bright cobblestone lichen, to the dark reddish-brown mountain cobblestone lichen, or they can appear tan, gray ...

	Magnussoniomyces ''Polyblastia'' is a genus of lichenized fungi in the family Verrucariaceae. As of 2020, it consists of about 40 species combined with about 50 orphaned species. The main difference with the genus ''Verrucaria'' is related to spores, which are muriform in ''Polyblastia''.
