Coccomyces Noosanus
''Coccomyces'' is a genus of fungi in the family Rhytismataceae. The ascocarps of ''Coccomyces'' species form within the epidermis (botany), epidermal layer of a plant host. Many species are foliicolous. Species A 2008 estimate placed 116 species in the genus. , Index Fungorum accepts 106 valid species in ''Coccomyces'': *''Coccomyces agathidicola'' *''Coccomyces annulatus'' *''Coccomyces antillarum'' *''Coccomyces araucariae'' *''Coccomyces arbutifolius'' *''Coccomyces arctostaphyli'' *''Coccomyces atactus'' *''Coccomyces aurei'' *''Coccomyces australis'' *''Coccomyces basizonatus'' *''Coccomyces binnaburrensis'' *''Coccomyces bipartitus'' *''Coccomyces boydii'' *''Coccomyces canarii'' *''Coccomyces castanopsidis'' *''Coccomyces cembrae'' *''Coccomyces circinatus'' *''Coccomyces clavatus'' *''Coccomyces clementsiorum'' *''Coccomyces clusiae'' *''Coccomyces cocoës'' *''Coccomyces concolor'' *''Coccomyces consociatus'' *''Coccomyces coronatus'' *''Coccomyces crateriformis'' *' ...

Coccomyces Dentatus
''Coccomyces dentatus'' is a species of fungus in the family Rhytismataceae. A widespread species, particularly in temperate areas, it colonizes the dead fallen leaves of vascular plants, particularly oak and chestnut. The fungus apothecia, which form in the epidermal layer of the leaf host, resemble dark hexagonal spots scattered on a multi-colored mosaic pattern bounded by thin black lines. When mature, the apothecia open by triangular flaps to release spores. The anamorph form of ''C. dentatus'' is ''Tricladiopsis flagelliformis''. Lookalike species can be distinguished by the shape of the apothecia, or by microscopic characteristics. Taxonomy The species was first described scientifically as ''Phacidium dentatum'' by Johann Karl Schmidt in 1817. Italian botanist Giuseppe De Notaris moved it to ''Lophodermium'' in 1847. In 1877, Pier Andrea Saccardo transferred it to ''Coccomyces'', giving it its current name. The variety ''C. dentatus'' var. ''hexagonus'', ...
