Phaeospora is a genus of fungi in the class Dothideomycetes; its familial placement is uncertain. [1]
Eurotiomycetes is a large class of ascomycetes with cleistothecial ascocarps within the subphylum Pezizomycotina, currently containing around 3810 species according to the Catalogue of Life. It is the third largest lichenized class, with more than 1200 lichen species that are mostly bitunicate in the formation of asci. It contains most of the fungi previously known morphologically as "Plectomycetes".
Unguiculariopsis is a genus of lichenicolous fungi in the family Cordieritidaceae. It has 29 species.
Opegrapha is a genus of lichenized fungi in the family Opegraphaceae. Species include:
Stigmidium is a genus of lichenicolous (lichen-eating) fungi in the family Mycosphaerellaceae. The genus was circumscribed by Italian botanist Vittore Benedetto Antonio Trevisan de Saint-Léon in 1860, with Stigmidium schaereri assigned as the type species.
Sphaerellothecium is a genus of fungi in the family Phyllachoraceae. All of the species in the genus are lichenicolous, meaning they grow parasitically on lichens.
Muellerella is a genus of lichenicolous lichens in the family Verrucariaceae. The genus has a widespread distribution, especially in northern temperate areas, and contains species that live on other lichens, or on liverworts.
Endococcus is a genus of fungi in the class Verrucariaceae. It has 44 species. The genus was circumscribed by the Finnish botanist William Nylander in 1855.
Nectriopsis is a genus of fungi in the class Sordariomycetes. The number of species in this genus varies between sources. The Dictionary of Fungi lists 58 species but the Catalogue of Life includes 72 species.
Lichenopeltella is a genus of fungi in the class Dothideomycetes with 48 species. Its classification is incertae sedis with respect to familial and ordinal placement within the class.
Zwackhiomyces is a genus of lichenicolous fungi in the family Xanthopyreniaceae. The genus was circumscribed by Martin Grube and Josef Hafellner in 1990, with Zwackhiomyces coepulonus assigned as the type species.
Llimoniella is a genus of fungi in the family Cordieritidaceae. The genus was circumscribed by lichenologists Josef Hafellner and Père Navarro-Rosinés in 1993.
Rhymbocarpus is a genus of lichenicolous (lichen-dwelling) fungi in the family Cordieritidaceae. It has 10 species. The genus was circumscribed by German mycologist Friedrich Wilhelm Zopf in 1896, with Rhymbocarpus punctiformis assigned as the type species.
Skyttea is a genus of lichenicolous fungi in the family Cordieritidaceae. The genus was circumscribed in 1981 by lichenologists Martha Allen Sherwood, David L. Hawksworth, and Brian J. Coppins, with Skyttea nitschkei assigned as the type species.
Niesslia is a genus of fungi in the family Niessliaceae. It was circumscribed by German mycologist Bernhard Auerswald in 1869, with Niesslia chaetomium assigned as the type species.
Xenonectriella is a genus of lichenicolous fungi in the family Nectriaceae. The genus was circumscribed by lichenologist Josef Karl Weese in 1919, with Xenonectriella lutescens assigned as the type species.
Lichenostigma is a genus of fungi. It includes several species which are lichenicolous.
Taeniolella is a genus of asexual fungi hyphomycetes in the family Mytilinidiaceae. Some of the species are lichenicolous (lichen-dwelling), others are saprophytic, while others are endophytic. The genus was circumscribed in 1958 by Canadian mycologist Stanley John Hughes, with Taeniolella exilis as the type species. Major revisions of the lichenicolous species in the genus were published in 2016 and 2018.
Rolf Santesson (1916–2013) was a Swedish lichenologist and university lecturer. He was awarded the Acharius Medal in 1992 for his lifetime contributions to lichenology.
Sclerococcum is a genus of lichenicolous fungi in the family Dactylosporaceae.
Polycoccum is a genus of lichenicolous fungi in the family Polycoccaceae. It has about 60 species.
