Cephalophysis is a lichen genus in the family Teloschistaceae. [1] It is a monotypic genus, containing the single species Cephalophysis leucospila. [2]
The Marasmiaceae are a family of fungi in the order Agaricales. Basidiocarps are most frequently agarics, but occasionally cyphelloid. According to a 2008 estimate, the family contained 54 genera and 1590 species, but molecular research, based on cladistic analysis of DNA sequences, has led to a more restricted family concept, so that the Marasmiaceae included just 13 genera, and some 1205 species. It was reduced further down in 2020, to 10 genera and about 700 species.
The Leotiomycetes are a class of ascomycete fungi. Many of them cause serious plant diseases.
The Pucciniaceae are a family of rust fungi that cause plant diseases, mainly on cereals such as wheat. The family contains over 4900 species: many of them in the type genus Puccinia.
Pleosporaceae is a family of sac fungi. They are pathogenic to humans or saprobic on woody and dead herbaceous stems or leaves.
Diaporthales is an order of sac fungi.
The Dactylosporaceae or Sclerococcaceae are a family of lichen-forming fungi in the class Eurotiomycetes. It is the only family of the order Sclerococcales and subclass Sclerococcomycetidae.
The Acarosporales are an order of fungi in the class Lecanoromycetes. Phylogenetic analyses conducted using the sequences of both the protein-coding gene RPB2 as well as nuclear ribosomal genes place this order within the subclass Acarosporomycetidae.
Letharia is a genus of fruticose lichens belonging to the family Parmeliaceae.
Ptychographa is a genus of lichenized fungi in the family Xylographaceae. It is a monotypic genus, containing the single species Ptychographa xylographoides. Both the species and genus were described as new in 1874 by Finnish botanist William Nylander.
Lignoscripta is a genus of lichenized fungi in the family Trapeliaceae. This is a monotypic genus, containing the single species Lignoscripta atroalba.
Amylora is a genus of lichenized fungi in the family Trapeliaceae. This is a monotypic genus, containing the single species Amylora cervinocuprea.
Squamella is a genus of lichenized fungi in the family Cladoniaceae. The genus is monotypic, containing the single species Squamella spumosa, which is found in Australia. Both the genus and species were described by Samuel Hammer in 2001.
Kantvilasia is a lichen genus in the family Pilocarpaceae. This is a monotypic genus, containing the single species Kantvilasia hians.
Herpotrichiellaceae is a family of ascomycetous fungi within the order Chaetothyriales and within the class Eurotiomycetes. It contains 16 genera and about 270 species. The type genus of the family, Herpotrichiella, is now synonymous with Capronia.
Meliola is a large genus of fungi in the family Meliolaceae. It was circumscribed by Swedish mycologist Elias Magnus Fries in 1825.
The Meliolaceae are a family of fungi in the order Meliolales. Mostly tropical in distribution, species in this family are biotrophic on the leaves and stems of plants. Despite this, most species do not cause extensive damage to the host plant, and are not generally considered to be of economic significance.
The Asterinaceae are a family of fungi in the class Asterinales.
The Cystobasidiomycetes are a class of fungi in the subdivision Pucciniomycotina of the Basidiomycota. Most species are known from their yeast states; hyphal states, when present, produce auricularioid basidia and are frequently parasites of other fungi. The class contains five orders as well as two families and one genus (Queiroziella) of uncertain disposition. An additional order, Cyphobasidiales, has been proposed to accommodate several lichenicolous species, but its separation from the Erythrobasidiales has not been demonstrated.
Xyleborus is a genus of lichen-forming fungi in the family Stereocaulaceae. It has two species. The genus was circumscribed in 2009 by Richard C. Harris and Douglas Ladd with Xyleborus sporodochifer assigned as the type species. A second species, X. nigricans, was added to the genus in 2015.
The Lecideales are an order of lichenized fungi in the class Lecanoromycetes. The order contains two families: the Lecideaceae, which contains 29 genera and about 260 species, and Lopadiaceae, which contains the single genus Lopadium of 10 species.
