BRYOPHYTES ON CARPOPHORES OF FUNGI
Keywords:
Liverworts, mosses, coriaceous structureAbstract
The development of bryophytes is registered on carpophores of fungi coriaceous, woody and perennial structure. The
results reveal the presence of seven foliose liverworts: Bazzania peruviana, Heteroscyphus integrifolius, Leiomitria
elegans, Lepidozia chordulifera, Plagiochila bispinosa, Porella chilensis, Telaranea blepharostoma and two mosses:
Dicranoloma robustum and Hypnum chrysogaster. We propose that the fungi of these characteristics are an appropriate
substratum for the development of some species of foliose liverwort and mosses. This article is the first approximation
to the study of bryophytes that grow on the surface of fungi carpophore.
