The Chaetothyriaceae are a family of ascomycetous fungi within the order Chaetothyriales and within the class Eurotiomycetes. [2] A 2012 molecular analysis of specimens collected from northern Thailand revealed three new species in the family ( Ceramothyrium thailandicum , Chaetothyrium brischofiacola and Phaeosaccardinula ficus ).

Lichenization

The first known lichen-forming species in Chaetothyriaceae, Ceramothyrium ryukyuense , was described in 2024 from Okinawa Island in southern Japan. It was found growing on a living palm leaf in a subtropical coastal forest. The species is characterized by minute, brown ascomata and small, predominantly one-septate ascospores . It differs from non-lichenized Ceramothyrium species, such as C. paiveae and C. philodendri , in its smaller asci and simpler spore structure. Phylogenetic analyses based on nuclear ribosomal DNA sequences placed C. ryukyuense as a sister species to C. exiguum . The species is associated with a photobiont from the Trentepohliales, marking the first confirmed case of lichenization within the family. [4]
