Strigulales
Strigulales is an order of lichen-forming fungi in the class Dothideomycetes. It contains two families: Strigulaceae and Tenuitholiascaceae, with a combined total of 115 species. The order was proposed by Robert Lücking, Matthew Nelsen, and Kevin Hyde in 2013. Most species in the order are foliicolous, that is, they grow on plant leaves. Families and genera According to a recent (2022) review of fungal classification, Strigulales contains 15 genera and a total of 115 species across two families. *Strigulaceae ::*'' Dichoporis'' – 18 spp. ::*'' Flagellostrigula'' – 1 sp. ::*''Flavobathelium'' – 1 sp. ::*'' Oletheriostrigula'' – 1 sp. ::*'' Phyllobathelium'' – 5 spp. ::*'' Phyllocharis'' – 1 sp. ::*'' Phyllocraterina'' – 2 spp. ::*'' Phylloporis'' – 9 spp. ::*'' Puiggariella'' – 4 spp. ::*'' Raciborskiella'' – 2 spp. ::*'' Racoplaca'' – 5 spp. ::*''Serusiauxiella'' – 3 spp. ::*''Strigula'' – ca. 30 spp. ::*''Swinscowia'' – 34 spp. *Tenuitholiascaceae ...

Tenuitholiascus
''Tenuitholiascus'' is a fungal genus in the monotypic family Tenuitholiascaceae, itself in the order Strigulales. The genus contains a single species, ''Tenuitholiascus porinoides'', a foliicolous (leaf-dwelling) lichen found in China. Taxonomy The genus, and family were circumscribed in 2020 by Shu-Hua Jiang, Robert Lücking and Jiang Chun Wei. The type specimen was collected by Jiang from the Hainan Bawangling National Nature Reserve (Hainan, China) at an altitude of ; there, in a wet tropical forest, it was growing on living leaves. It is only known to occur at the type locality. The genus name, which refers to its characteristic thin-walled asci, is derived from Latin roots: ''tenuis''- ("slender"), ''tholus'' ("dome"), and ''ascus'' ("tube" or "bag"). The species epithet ''porinoides'' alludes to its resemblance to genus ''Porina''. Molecular phylogenetic analysis revealed that the fungus represented a previously unknown lineage in the Dothideomycetes, forming a clade ...

Strigulaceae
''Strigulaceae'' is a family of lichen-forming fungi, one of two families in the order Strigulales (class Dothideomycetes). Recent (2020) molecular analysis of the type genus, '' Strigula'', has led to a reallocation of the foliicolous species into six genera that correspond to well-delimited clades with diagnostic phenotype In genetics, the phenotype () is the set of observable characteristics or traits of an organism. The term covers the organism's morphology or physical form and structure, its developmental processes, its biochemical and physiological proper ... features.

Dothideomycetes
Dothideomycetes is the largest and most diverse class of ascomycete fungi. It comprises 11 orders 90 families, 1300 genera and over 19,000 known species. Traditionally, most of its members were included in the loculoascomycetes, which is not part of the currently accepted classification. This indicates that several traditional morphological features in the class are not unique and DNA sequence comparisons are important to define the class. The designation loculoascomycetes was first proposed for all fungi which have ascolocular development. This type of development refers to the way in which the sexual structure, bearing the sexual spores (ascospores) forms. Dothideomycetes mostly produce flask-like structures referred to as pseudothecia, although other shape variations do exist (e.g. see structures found in Hysteriales). During ascolocular development pockets (locules) form first within the vegetative cells of the fungus and then all the subsequent structures form. These in ...

Lichen Orders
A lichen ( , ) is a composite organism that arises from algae or cyanobacteria living among filaments of multiple fungi species in a mutualistic relationship.Introduction to Lichens – An Alliance between Kingdoms . University of California Museum of Paleontology. Lichens have properties different from those of their component organisms. They come in many colors, sizes, and forms and are sometimes plant-like, but are not s. They may have tiny, leafless branches (); flat leaf-like structures ( |
Ascomycota Orders
Ascomycota is a phylum of the kingdom Fungi that, together with the Basidiomycota, forms the subkingdom Dikarya. Its members are commonly known as the sac fungi or ascomycetes. It is the largest phylum of Fungi, with over 64,000 species. The defining feature of this fungal group is the "ascus" (), a microscopic sexual structure in which nonmotile spores, called ascospores, are formed. However, some species of the Ascomycota are asexual, meaning that they do not have a sexual cycle and thus do not form asci or ascospores. Familiar examples of sac fungi include morels, truffles, brewers' and bakers' yeast, dead man's fingers, and cup fungi. The fungal symbionts in the majority of lichens (loosely termed "ascolichens") such as ''Cladonia'' belong to the Ascomycota. Ascomycota is a monophyletic group (it contains all descendants of one common ancestor). Previously placed in the Deuteromycota along with asexual species from other fungal taxa, asexual (or anamorphic) ascomycetes ...

Swinscowia
''Swinscowia'' is a genus of lichen-forming fungi in the family Strigulaceae. It has 34 species. ''Swinscowia'' was proposed in 2020 by lichenologists Shu-Hua Jiang, Robert Lücking, and Emmanuël Sérusiaux to contain non-foliicolous species that were isolated from bark and rocks. '' Swinscowia jamesii'', a species that was originally described in genus '' Geisleria'', and later transferred to ''Strigula'', is the type species In zoological nomenclature, a type species (''species typica'') is the species name with which the name of a genus or subgenus is considered to be permanently taxonomically associated, i.e., the species that contains the biological type specimen ... of the genus. The genus name honours British lichenologist Dougal Swinscow, who originally described the type species in 1967.

Serusiauxiella
''Serusiauxiella'' is a genus of leaf-dwelling lichens in the family Strigulaceae. It has three species, all of which are found in wet tropical forests in China. The genus was circumscribed in 2020 by Shu-Hua Jiang, Robert Lücking, and Jiang-Chu Wei, with '' Serusiauxiella filifera'' assigned as the type species. The genus name honours Belgian lichenologist Emmanuël Sérusiaux, "in recognition of his important contributions to lichenology, foliicolous lichens and the genus ''Strigula''". The three species in the genus are characterised by having macroconidia with appendages that rapidly elongate (up to 70 μm) after waiting up to 1 hour in microscope slide preparations called squash mounts. The photobiont partner is a green alga of the genus '' Trentepohlia''. This is unlike the related genus ''Strigula'', which has ''Cephaleuros ''Cephaleuros'' is a genus of parasitic thalloid green algae comprising approximately 14 species. Its common name is red rust.
