The Physciaceae are a family of mostly lichen-forming fungi belonging to the class Lecanoromycetes in the division Ascomycota. Many members of this family are known as shadow lichens.[1] A 2016 estimate placed 19 genera and 601 species in the family.[2]
Genera[]
This is a list of the genera contained within the Physciaceae, based on a 2020 review and summary of ascomycete classification.[3] Following the genus name is the taxonomic authority, year of publication, and the number of species:
- Anaptychia Körb. (1848) – about 15 spp.
- Coscinocladium Kunze (1846) – 2 spp.
- Heterodermia Trevis. (1868) – about 90 spp.
- Hyperphyscia Müll.Arg. (1894) – 9 spp.
- S.Y.Kondr., Lőkös & Hur (2014) – 1 sp.
- Leucodermia Kalb (2015) – 10 spp.
- Mischoblastia A.Massal. (1852) – 3 spp.
- Mobergia H.Mayrhofer & Sheard (1992) – 1 sp.
- Oxnerella S.Y.Kondr., Lőkös & Hur (2014) – 1 spp.
- Phaeophyscia Mob. (1977) – 66 spp.
- Phaeorrhiza H.Mayrhofer & Poelt (1979) – 2 spp.
- Physcia (Schreb.) Michaux (1803) – about 80 spp.
- Physciella Essl. (1986) – 4 spp.
- Physconia Poelt (1965) – about 25 spp.
- Polyblastidium Kalb (2015) – 18 spp.
- Rinodina (Ach.) Gray (1821) – about 300 spp
- Rinodinella H.Mayrhofer & Poelt (1978) – 6 spp.
- Tornabea Østh. (1980) – 1 spp.
The genus Culbersonia, previously classified in the Physciaceae due to its morphological features, has been shown with molecular phylogenetics to belong to the Caliciaceae.[4]
