Chrysosporium is a genus of hyaline hyphomycetes fungi in the family Onygenaceae.

Megasporaceae Family of lichen-forming fungi

Megasporaceae are a family of fungi belonging to the order Pertusariales. Taxa are lichenized with green algae, and grow on rocks, often in maritime climates close to fresh water. Phylogenetic analysis has shown that this family is related to the Pertusariaceae, another family of lichens. The genus Aspicilia was moved here from the Hymeneliaceae.

The Didymosphaeriaceae are a family of fungi in the order Pleosporales. The family was erected by Anders Munk in 1953.

Pilocarpaceae Family of fungi

The Pilocarpaceae are a family of crustose lichens in the order Lecanorales. The species of this family have a cosmopolitan distribution and have been found in a variety of climatic regions. Pilocarpaceae was circumscribed by Alexander Zahlbruckner in Adolf Engler's influential 1905 work Die Natürlichen Pflanzenfamilien.

Ostropales Order of fungi

The Ostropales are an order of fungi in the class Lecanoromycetes. The order was circumscribed by Swedish botanist John Axel Nannfeldt in 1932. The order contains 4 families and 46 genera, including 6 genera of uncertain familial placement.

Badimia is a genus of foliicolous (leaf-inhabiting) lichens in the family Ramalinaceae.

Lanspora is a genus of marine fungi in the family Phomatosporaceae. The genus was circumscribed in 1986 by mycologists Kevin D. Hyde and E.B. Gareth Jones with L. coronata as the type, and at that time, only species. Lanspora cylindrospora was added to the genus in 2020.

Herpotrichiellaceae Family of fungi

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.

<i>Lecidella</i> Genus of fungi

Lecidella is a genus of crustose lichens in the family Lecanoraceae.

Leptosillia is a fungal genus in the monogeneric family Leptosilliaceae. The genus was circumscribed by Austrian mycologist Franz Xaver Rudolf von Höhnel in 1928. The genus was monotypic for a long time, containing only the type species, Leptosillia notha. Molecular phylogenetic analysis published in 2019 showed that the genus belongs to the order Xylariales, and that the genus Cresporhaphis should be included in Leptosillia. These analyses placed Leptosillia as a sister taxon to family Delonicicolaceae, and so a new family, Leptosilliaceae, was circumscribed to contain it.
