Lecanora Muralis
''Lecanora muralis'' ''(Protoparmeliopsis muralis)'' is a waxy looking, pale yellowish green crustose lichen, crustose lichen that usually grows in rosette (botany), rosettes radiating from a center (placoidiod, placodioid) filled with disc-like yellowish-tan fruiting bodies (apothecia).Field Guide to California Lichens, Stephen Sharnoff, Yale University Press, 2014, , page 279 It grows all over the world.Lichen Flora of the Greater Sonoran Desert Region. Vol 2, Nash, T.H., Ryan, B.D., Gries, C., Bugartz, F., (eds.) 2001./ref> It is extremely variable in its characteristics as a single taxon, and may represent a complex of species. The fruiting body parts have rims of tissue similar to that of the main nonfruiting body (thallus), which is called being lecanorine. It is paler and greener than ''Lecanora mellea, L. mellea'', and more yellow than ''Lecanora sierra, L. sierrae''. In California, it may be the most common member of the ''Lecanora'' genus found growing on rocks (saxicolou ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Psilolechiaceae
''Psilolechia'' is a genus of four species of crustose lichens. It is the only member of Psilolechiaceae, a family that was created in 2014 to contain this genus. Taxonomy The genus ''Psilolechia'' was established by Abramo Bartolommeo Massalongo in 1860. Formerly classified in the family Pilocarpaceae, molecular phylogenetic analysis showed that ''Psilolechia'' represented a distinct lineage that deserved placement at the familial level, the Psilolechiaceae, which was formally circumscribed in 2014. This arrangement was accepted in later large-scale updates of fungal classification. Psilolechiaceae is in the order Lecanorales, in the suborder Sphaerophorineae, which also includes the families Pilocarpaceae, Psoraceae, and Ramalinaceae. Description Psilolechiaceae is a monogeneric family of crustose lichens with effuse, ecorticate (lacking a cortex), leprose thalli formed by goniocysts (aggregations of photobiont cells surrounded by short-celled hyphae) containing ''Trebouxia'' ...

Corticifraga
''Corticifraga'' is a genus of lichenicolous fungi in the family Gomphillaceae.

Botryolepraria
''Botryolepraria'' is a genus of saxicolous (rock-dwelling), byssoid (cottony) lichens of uncertain familial placement in the order Verrucariales. It has two species. Both species grow in damp conditions, such as on cave walls, particularly in areas with minimal light. Taxonomy The genus was circumscribed by Antonio Canals, Mariona Hernández-Mariné, Antonio Gómez-Bolea, and Xavier Llimona in 1997, as a segregate of genus ''Lepraria'', with the widespread and common lichen '' B. lesdainii'' as the type, and at that time, only species. The type specimen was collected by French lichenologist Maurice Bouly de Lesdain from a wall in Les Baraques (Calais, France). The genus name combines the Greek-derived ''botryon'' ("cluster of berries", referring to the microscopic shrub-like clusters of fungal hyphae and spherical algal cells) with its namesake genus, ''Lepraria''. Although some later authors did not accept the proposed genus as different from ''Lepraria'', later molecul ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Lichenosticta
''Lichenosticta'' is a genus of fungi of uncertain familial placement in the order Lecanorales. It has five species. All species are lichenicolous, meaning they are parasitic on lichens.

Incertae Sedis
' () or ''problematica'' is a term used for a taxonomic group where its broader relationships are unknown or undefined. Alternatively, such groups are frequently referred to as "enigmatic taxa". In the system of open nomenclature, uncertainty at specific taxonomic levels is indicated by ' (of uncertain family), ' (of uncertain suborder), ' (of uncertain order) and similar terms. Examples *The fossil plant '' Paradinandra suecica'' could not be assigned to any family, but was placed ''incertae sedis'' within the order Ericales when described in 2001. * The fossil ''Gluteus minimus'', described in 1975, could not be assigned to any known animal phylum. The genus is therefore ''incertae sedis'' within the kingdom Animalia. * While it was unclear to which order the New World vultures (family Cathartidae) should be assigned, they were placed in Aves ''incertae sedis''. It was later agreed to place them in a separate order, Cathartiformes. * Bocage's longbill, ''Motacilla bocagii' ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Tephromelataceae
The Tephromelataceae are a family of lichenized fungi in the order Lecanorales. The family was circumscribed by Austrian lichenologist Josef Hafellner in 1984. Tephromelataceae comprises the genera '' Tephromela'', '' Calvitimela'', '' Mycoblastus'' and '' Violella'', which together constitute a well-supported monophyletic group. The family Mycoblastaceae, proposed by Hafellner to contain the genus ''Mycoblastus'', was also published in the same 1984 publication; it was later placed into synonymy with Tephromelataceae. The latter name takes precedence because of its first adopted use. Genera Tephromelataceae contains 4 genera and about 53 species. This is a list of the genera contained within the Tephromelataceae; following the genus name is the taxonomic authority In biology, taxonomy () is the scientific study of naming, defining ( circumscribing) and classifying groups of biological organisms based on shared characteristics.
