Sphaerellothecium araneosum is a species of lichenicolous fungus in the family Phyllachoraceae. [1]
Sphaerellothecium araneosum has been reported from the highlands of Iceland [2] and the Arctic desert of Severnaya Zemlya in Russia. [3]
Sphaerellothecium araneosum commonly grows on species of Ochrolechia , such as Ochrolechia frigida [2] but it also grows on Stereocaulon rivulorum and Stereocaulon vesuvianum , on which it causes no known symptoms. [3] It is common in Cladonia pocillum and Cladonia symphycarpia , and less common but present in Cladonia coccifera , Cladonia gracilis , Cladonia macroceras , Cladonia pyxidata and Cladonia subcervicornis . The population infecting Cladonia is considered a separate variety from other Sphaerellothecium araneosum. [4]
Geltingia is a fungal genus in the family Helicogoniaceae. It is monotypic, containing the single lichenicolous species Geltingia associata. The genus was circumscribed in 1990 by mycologists Vagn Alstrup and David Leslie Hawksworth. The genus name honours Danish scientist Paul Gelting.
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.
Stereocaulon paschale is a species of lichen belonging to the family Stereocaulaceae.
Stereocaulon alpinum is a species of fungus belonging to the family Stereocaulaceae. It is similar to Stereocaulon paschale but differs from it in containing cyanobacteria of the genus Nostoc while S. paschale contains cyanobacteria of the genus Stigonema, which have a darker colour than Nostoc.
Lichenopeltella cladoniarum is a species of fungus belonging to the class Dothideomycetes. It has been found growing on the podetia of Cladonia arbuscula in Bulgan district, Mongolia and Yamanashi prefecture in Japan.

Muellerella pygmaea is a species of lichenicolous fungus in the family Verrucariaceae. It has a cosmopolitan distribution in Arctic-alpine areas and grows on the thallus and apothecia of a number of hosts.
Stereocaulon vesuvianum is a species of snow lichen belonging to the family Stereocaulaceae.
Stereocaulon tomentosum is a species of snow lichen belonging to the family Stereocaulaceae.
Stereocaulon glareosum is a species of snow lichen belonging to the family Stereocaulaceae.
Stereocaulon capitellatum is a species of snow lichen belonging to the family Stereocaulaceae.
Stereocaulon rivulorum is a species of snow lichen belonging to the family Stereocaulaceae.
Cercidospora stereocaulorum is a species of lichenicolous fungus in the genus Cercidospora but it has not been assigned to a family. It is known to parasitise lichens of the genus Stereocaulon.
Sphaerellothecium stereocaulorum is a species of lichenicolous fungus in the Phyllachoraceae family.
Cladonia pocillum is a species of lichen in the family Cladoniaceae. Swedish botanist Erik Acharius first formally described the species in 1803 as Baeomyces pocillum, but Olivier Jules Richard transferred it to the genus Cladonia in 1877.
