Funding information in the publication:
I´m extremely grateful to Ulf Arup (Lund University) for the molecular identification of the species, viewing the morphological material, and making valuable notifications about the manuscript. Juha Pykälä (Finnish Environment Institute) is acknowledged for sampling the specimen to FinBOL and reviewing the manuscript. The field work in 1990 was conducted by Risto Virtanen (University of Oulu) whereas the field work in 2022 was performed during the research project “National monitoring of snowbed species and habitats for their improved red list assessment” funded by the Finnish Ministry of the Environment within a PUTTE 2 research program. The DNA barcoding of Finnish lichens is part of the FinBOL project financially supported by the Academy of Finland (2020–) through the Finnish Biodiversity Information Facility (FinBIF) infrastructure project on the national roadmap.
