Microcaliciaceae is a family of lichen-forming fungi in the order Pertusariales.[2] It contains the single genus Microcalicium, circumscribed by Finnish lichenologist Edvard August Vainio in 1927, with assigned as the type species.[3]

Description[]

Microcaliciaceae species 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.[4]

Species[]

As of July 2021, Species Fungorum accepts four species in Microcalicium:[5]

  • Tibell (1978)[6]
  • (Hampe ex A.Massal.) Tibell (1978)
  • Tibell (1978)[6]
  • (Ach.) Vain. (1927)[3]
