Subclasses and orders

Subclass Acarosporomycetidae

  • Acarosporales

Subclass Lecanoromycetidae

  • Caliciales
  • Lecanorales
  • Lecideales
  • Leprocaulales
  • Peltigerales
  • Rhizocarpales
  • Sporastatiales

Subclass Ostropomycetidae

incertae sedis (not placed in a subclass)

Lecanoromycetes is the largest class of lichenized fungi.[1] It belongs to the subphylum Pezizomycotina in the phylum Ascomycota.[2] The asci (spore-bearing cells) of the Lecanoromycetes most often release spores by rostrate dehiscence.[1]

They are monophyletic (a group of taxa composed only of all the descendants of a common ancestor).[3]

Genera of uncertain placement

There are several genera in the Lecanoromycetes that have not been placed into any order or family. These are:[4]

  • Argopsis Th.Fr. (1857) – 1 sp.
  • Ascographa Velen. (1934) - 1 sp.
  • Bartlettiella D.J.Galloway & P.M.Jørg. (1990) – 1 sp.
  • Bouvetiella Øvstedal (1986) – 1 sp.
  • Buelliastrum Zahlbr. (1930) – 1 sp.
  • Haploloma Trevis. (1857) – 1 sp.
  • Hosseusia Gyeln. (1940) – 3 spp.
  • Korfiomyces Iturr. & D.Hawksw. (2004) – 1 sp.
  • Maronella M.Steiner (1959) – 1 sp.
  • Notolecidea Hertel (1984) – 1 sp.
  • Petractis Fr. (1845) – 3 spp.
  • Piccolia A.Massal. (1956) – 10 spp.
  • Ravenelula Speg. (1881) – 2 spp.
