The Pertusariaceae are a family of lichen-forming fungi in the order Pertusariales. Taxonomy The family was formally circumscribed by German lichenologist Gustav Wilhelm Körber in 1846. It contained the genera ''Pertusaria'' and '' Ochrolechia'' until ''Pertusaria'' was shown to be polyphyletic in a 2006 publication. The family Ochrolechiaceae was created to contain ''Ochrolechia''.

Agyriaceae
The Agyriaceae are a family of lichenized fungi in the order Pertusariales. It contains two genera: ''Agyrium'', and '' Miltidea''. The family was circumscribed by August Carl Joseph Corda in 1838. In 2018, using a molecular phylogenetic Molecular phylogenetics () is the branch of phylogeny that analyzes genetic, hereditary molecular differences, predominantly in DNA sequences, to gain information on an organism's evolutionary relationships. From these analyses, it is possible to ... approach coupled with a technique known as "temporal banding", Kraichak and colleagues proposed to fold the family Miltideaceae into the Agyriaceae. A close genetic relationship between these two families had previously been noted. The proposal to subsume Miltideaceae into the Agyriaceae was accepted in a later critical analysis of the temporal banding technique for fungal classification.

Microcaliciaceae
''Microcalicium'' is a genus of lichen-forming fungi in the order Pertusariales. It is the only genus in the monotypic family Microcaliciaceae. These taxa were circumscribed by the Finnish lichenologist Edvard August Vainio in 1927, with '' Microcalicium disseminatum'' assigned as the type species. Description Species of ''Microcalicium'' have a mazaediate ascomata (an irregularly spherical fruiting body in which ascus walls break down to leave a dry, loose, amorphous, powdery, often dark, mass of spores together with disintegrating asci and paraphyses). Their asci are ellipsoid in shape and non-amyloid.

Varicellariaceae
''Varicellaria'' is a genus of crustose lichens. It is the only genus in the family Varicellariaceae. Taxonomy The genus ''Varicellaria'' was circumscribed by Finnish lichenologist William Nylander in 1858, with '' Varicellaria microsticta'' assigned as the type species. The family Varicellariaceae, containing only the type genus ''Varicellaria'', was informally proposed by Brendan Hodkinson, Richard Harris, and James Lendemer in 2011. H. Thorsten Lumbsch and Steven Leavitt formally published the family in 2018. However, the taxon was not validly published because "an identifier issued by a recognized repository was not cited in the protologue", contrary to rules of botanical nomenclature. This nomenclatural oversight was rectified later the same year in a separate publication. Description Characteristics of the family Varicellariaceae are similar to those of its genus. These are: a crustose thallus, unicellular green algal photobionts from genus ''Trebouxia'', ascomata i ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Coccotremataceae
The Coccotremataceae are a family of lichen-forming fungi in the order Pertusariales. Species in this widely distributed family grow on bark or rocks, especially in maritime regions. Genera , Species Fungorum accepts 3 genera and 23 species, in the family Coccotremataceae. This is a list of the genera in the Coccotremataceae based on a 2020 review and summary of fungal classification by Wijayawardene and colleagues.

Pertusaria Paratuberculifera
''Pertusaria'' is a large genus of warty crustose lichens in the Pertusariaceae family.Field Guide to California Lichens, Stephen Sharnoff, Yale University Press, 2014, The fruiting bodies are usually modified apothecia that immersed in warts on the main body (thallus) with small holes for the spores to emerge, similar to ostioles, or are fully above and lecanorine (spore bearing discs surrounded by a ring of tissue similar to the tissue of the thallus. Members of the genus are commonly called wart lichens. The widespread genus contains over 500 species. Classification in the large genus relies heavily on thallus chemistry to distinguish and classify species, some of which differ only in the presence or absence of a single secondary chemical. Lichexanthone Lichexanthone is an organic compound in the structural class of chemicals known as xanthones. Lichexanthone was first isolated and identified by Japanese chemists from a species of leafy lichen in the 1940s. The c ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
