Dactylospora Homoclinella

''Sclerococcum'' is a genus of lichenicolous fungi in the family Dactylosporaceae.

Taxonomy

The genus was circumscribed in 1825 by Elias Magnus Fries. The type species is ''Sclerococcum sphaerale'', originally described in 1814 by Erik Acharius (as ''Spiloma sphaerale''). This fungus is a lichenicolous hyphomycete – a mould that lives on a lichen analysis published in 2012 showed that ''Sclerococcum sphaerale'' grouped together in a clade with species of ''Dactylospora'' in the class Eurotiomycetes.

In 2016, Réblová and colleagues proposed a new family Sclerococcaceae in a new order (Sclerococcales) to accommodate the type genus ''Sclerococcum'', ''Dactylospora'', '' Rhopalophora'', three strains of beetle-associated fungi, and an isolate of '' Fusichalara minuta''. This classification was not accepted in the 2017 ''Outline of the Ascomycota'', which retained the family Dactylosporaceae.
