Agonimia globulifera new to mainland Norway

Abstract

During an excursion to Vetvika, Bremanger municipality in Sogn og Fjordane in search of rare bryo-phytes, the first author made a collection of small black perithecia overgrowing bryophytes on shellsand. The collection was later determined by the last author as Agonimia globulifera. Since it represents the first find on the Norwegian mainland we here report the details of the find together with photos, and discuss its distribution and ecology.
