Species

T. nigritellum
T. pulvinatum

Thallinocarpon is a small genus of lichen-forming fungi in the family Lichinaceae. [1] It has two species. [2] The genus was circumscribed in 1950 by the Norwegian lichenologist Eilif Dahl, with Thallinocarpon pulvinatum assigned as the type, and at the time, only species. This species occurs in Greenland. [3]

Per Magnus Jørgensen added another species, Thallinocarpon nigritellum, to the genus in 2007, transferred from Lichinella . [4] This lichen is a significant species in the lichen communities of the Collematetea cristati class, particularly on the limestone cliffs of the Dniester Canyon in Ukraine. This lichen plays a role in the Thallinocarpo nigritelli-Anemum tumidulae association, where it achieves considerable coverage of up to 10%. Its presence is not limited to Ukraine, as it has also been observed in similar communities in the Czech Republic, indicating a broader geographical distribution. T. nigritellum grows in the dry, rocky areas just above the normal water level along riverbanks, often in association with other lichen species such as Anema tumidulum, A. nodulosum , and Staurothele frustulenta . The occurrence of T. nigritellum serves as a key differentiating factor for its namesake association, and is an indicator species for these specific limestone cliff habitats in Eastern Europe. [5] The species is widely distributed, having also been recorded from the Russian Far East, Central and Mediterranean Europe, North Africa, and North America. [6]

Protopannaria is a genus of seven species of lichenized fungi in the family Pannariaceae. The genus was originally circumscribed as a subgenus of the genus Pannaria by Hungarian lichenologist Vilmos Kőfaragó-Gyelnik. Per Magnus Jørgensen and Stefan Ekman promoted Protopannaria to full status as a genus in 2000.

Fuscoderma is a genus of lichenized fungi in the family Pannariaceae. It was originally circumscribed as a subgenus of the genus Leioderma by David Galloway and Per Magnus Jørgensen in 1987.

<i>Degelia</i> Genus of lichens in the family Pannariaceae

Degelia is a genus of lichen-forming fungi in the family Pannariaceae. The genus is named after Swedish lichenologist Gunnar Degelius.

Anema is a genus of lichen within the family Lichinaceae. The genus contains at least 13 species.

Lichinodium is a genus of filamentous lichens. It is the only genus in the family Lichinodiaceae, itself the only member of the order Lichinodiales. Lichinodium has four species. Previously considered part of the class Lichinomycetes, molecular phylogenetic analysis revealed that Lichinodium represents a unique lineage in the Leotiomycetes—the first known group of lichen-forming fungi in this class.

Mawsonia is a fungal genus in the family Lichinaceae. It is a monospecific genus, containing the single species Mawsonia harrissonii, a rare saxicolous, crustose lichen found in Antarctica.

Zahlbrucknerella is a genus of filamentous, rock-dwelling lichens in the family Lichinaceae.

<i>Thyrea</i> (lichen) Genus of fungi

Thyrea is a genus of lichen-forming fungi in the family Lichinaceae. It contains four species that have been accepted by Species Fungorum. The genus was circumscribed by Italian lichenologist Abramo Bartolommeo Massalongo in 1856, with Thyrea plectospora assigned as the type species.

Leciophysma is a genus of cyanolichens in the family Pannariaceae. It has four species. The genus was circumscribed by Theodor Magnus Fries in 1865, with Leciophysma finmarkicum assigned as the type species.

Staurolemma is a genus of lichenized fungi in the family Pannariaceae. The genus was circumscribed by German lichenologist Gustav Wilhelm Körber in 1867, with Staurolemma dalmaticum as the type species.

<i>Leptochidium</i> Genus of lichens

Leptochidium is a genus of lichen-forming fungi in the family Massalongiaceae. It has two species:

Arctomia is a genus of lichen-forming fungi in the family Arctomiaceae. The genus was originally circumscribed by Theodor Magnus Fries in 1861. Arctomia has a circumpolar distribution.

Harpidiaceae is a small family of lichen-forming fungi, containing two genera and five species. It is of uncertain classification in the Pezizomycotina.

Tingiopsidium is a genus of lichen-forming fungi in the family Koerberiaceae. The genus was circumscribed in 1939 by French botanist Roger-Guy Werner, with Tingiopsidium pubescens assigned as the type species. Vestergrenopsis, a genus proposed by Vilmos Kőfaragó-Gyelnik in 1940, was shown to contain a species that is the type of Tingiopsidium, and because Tingiopsidium was published a year earlier, the principle of priority makes Vestergrenopsis illegitimate, and a synonym of Tingiopsidium.

<i>Peccania tiruncula</i> Species of lichen

Peccania tiruncula is a species of saxicolous (rock-dwelling), squamulose to dwarf fruticose lichen in the family Lichinaceae. It was first described as a new species in 1878 by the Finnish lichenologist William Nylander, who classified it in the genus Omphalaria. The type specimen was collected by Johan Petter Norrlin in Biskra. Aino Henssen transferred it to the genus Peccania in 1990.

Pseudoheppia is a fungal genus in the family Lichinaceae. It contains a single species, Pseudoheppia schuleri, a saxicolous (rock-dwelling) squamulose lichen.

<i>Gloeoheppia</i> Genus of lichens

Gloeoheppia is a genus of lichen-forming fungi in the family Gloeoheppiaceae. It comprises five species. The genus is distinguished from similar-looking lichens like Heppia by its internal structure, the nature of its photobiont, and details of its reproductive structures.

Metamelanea is a small genus of lichen-forming fungi in the family Lichinaceae. It consists of three species of rock-dwelling lichens.
