Nesolechia (fungus)
''Nesolechia'' is a genus of parasitic fungi in the family Parmeliaceae. All three species in the genus lichenicolous fungi, grow on lichens. ''Nesolechia'' probably evolved from a lichen ancestor, as it is closely related to many lichenized species of fungi. ''Nesolechia'' fungi typically develop gall-like structures on their host (biology), hosts that may be roughly spherical to lobe-like or leafy. Taxonomy The genus was circumscription (taxonomy), circumscribed in 1856 by Italian lichenologist Abramo Bartolommeo Massalongo, with ''Nesolechia oxyspora'' assigned as the type species. It contained species formerly placed in ''Abrothallus'' that produced ascospores without a septum. He also included ''N. inquinans'', ''N. thallicola'', ''N. heeri'', and ''N. punctum'' in the genus; these are now placed in the genera ''Micarea'', ''Phacopsis'', ''Scutula'', and ''Bachmanniomyces'', respectively. In his 1930 work on parasitic fungi, Karl von Keissler included 10 ...
