The magnitude of fungal diversity: the 1.5 million species estimate revisited * * Paper presented at
TLDR
The consensus of tropical and molecular mycologists in particular is that an increased estimate could be justified, however, it is prudent to retain 1‐5 M as the current working hypothesis for the number of fungi on Earth while additional data to test it further accumulates.

Fungal Diversity Revisited: 2.2 to 3.8 Million Species.
TLDR
New evidence is examined from various sources to derive an updated estimate of global fungal diversity, concluding that the commonly cited estimate of 1.5 million species is conservative and that the actual range is properly estimated at 2.2 to 3.8 million.

Qualitative Scale for estimating Sulphur Dioxide Air Pollution in England and Wales using Epiphytic Lichens
The sulphur dioxide in the air can be estimated qualitatively by studying the lichens growing on trees. A ten-point scale has been constructed and used in pilot surveys in England and Wales,…
