Gomphillus is a genus of lichen-forming fungi in the family Gomphillaceae. [2]
As of July 2024 [update] , Species Fungorum (in the Catalogue of Life) accepts three species of Gomphillus. [3]
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.
The Graphidaceae are a family of lichen-forming fungi in the order Graphidales. The family contains nearly a hundred genera and more than 2000 species. Although the family has a cosmopolitan distribution, most Graphidaceae species occur in tropical regions, and typically grow on bark.
Platygramme is a genus of lichen-forming fungi in the family Graphidaceae consisting of about 30 species. The genus was circumscribed by Antoine Laurent Apollinaire Fée in 1874.
Fissurina is a genus of lichenized fungi in the family Graphidaceae. It has about 160 species, most of which are found in tropical regions.
Carbacanthographis is a genus of corticolous (bark-dwelling) lichens in the family Graphidaceae. The genus was circumscribed by German lichenologists Bettina Staiger and Klaus Kalb in 2002. An updated worldwide key to the genus was published in 2022 that added 17 new species. This revision allowed for further identification of undescribed species from other collections, and subsequently, 14 species were added in 2023 from the Amazonian lowland forests of Brazil and the Guianas.
Acanthothecis is a genus of lichen-forming fungi in the family Graphidaceae. The genus was circumscribed by Frederick Edward Clements in 1909.
Chroodiscus is a genus of leaf-dwelling lichens in the family Graphidaceae. It was first introduced by the Swiss lichenologist Johannes Müller Argoviensis in 1883 as a section of the genus Ocellularia. In 1890 he promoted it to generic status.
Byssoloma is a genus of leaf-dwelling lichens in the family Pilocarpaceae.
Gassicurtia is a genus of lichenized fungi in the family Caliciaceae.
Asterothyrium is a genus of leaf-dwelling lichens in the family Gomphillaceae.
Aulaxina is a genus of lichen-forming fungi in the family Gomphillaceae.
Calenia is a genus of lichen-forming fungi within the family Gomphillaceae.
Diploschistella is a genus of fungi in the family Gomphillaceae.
Echinoplaca is a genus of lichens in the family Gomphillaceae.
Gyalectidium is a genus of lichen-forming fungi in the family Gomphillaceae. A 2020 estimates placed 52 species in the genus. The genus was circumscribed by Swiss lichenologist Johannes Müller Argoviensis in 1881. He included 3 species: G. xantholeucum, G. dispersum, and G. filicinum; the last of these is now the type species of the genus.
Jamesiella is a genus of fungi in the family Gomphillaceae. It was circumscribed by Robert Lücking, Emmanuël Sérusiaux and Antonín Vězda in 2005. The genus name honours Peter Wilfred James, an English botanist who worked at the Natural History Museum, London. The type species of the genus, Jamesiella anastomosans, is now classified in the genus Gyalideopsis.
Tricharia is a genus of lichens in the family Gomphillaceae. It has an estimated 30 species.
Emmanuël Sérusiaux is a Belgian lichenologist. His career, spanning more than four decades, has combined both lichenology research and political aspects of nature conservation. He spent several periods working as a researcher at the National Fund for Scientific Research and the University of Liège, the latter in which he accepted a faculty position as professor and head of the Plant Taxonomy and Conservation Biology unit. Sérusiaux also served for three non-consecutive appointments as Deputy Chief of Staff in the Government of Wallonia. He retired from both his academic and political positions in 2019.
Cruentotrema is a genus of corticolous (bark-dwelling) lichens in the family Graphidaceae. It has seven species.
Robert Lücking is a German lichenologist, known for his extensive research on foliicolous lichens and his significant contributions to the taxonomy, ecology, and biodiversity of fungi and lichens. He earned his master's and PhD from the University of Ulm, focusing on foliicolous lichens. He has received numerous awards for his work, including the Mason E. Hale Award for his doctoral thesis, the Augustin Pyramus de Candolle prize for his monograph, and the Tuckerman Award twice for his publications in the scientific journal The Bryologist.
