Cetradoniaceae
The Cladoniaceae are a family (biology), family of lichen-forming fungi in the order Lecanorales, comprising about 560 species distributed amongst 18 genus, genera. This family is one of the largest among lichen-forming fungi and is globally distributed, from Arctic tundra to tropical rainforests, favouring humid environments while being intolerant of arid conditions. Molecular phylogenetics has significantly advanced the understanding of their complex taxonomy (biology), taxonomic history, revealing intricate evolutionary relationships and leading to a refined classification. Notable members include reindeer moss and cup lichens of the genus ''Cladonia'', which consist of about 500 species and forms a significant part of the diet for large mammals in taiga and tundra ecosystems. A distinctive feature of many Cladoniaceae species is their dimorphic thallus: a scaly or crust-like form and a (shrub-like) secondary form known as a podetium or .

Crocyniaceae
The Ramalinaceae are a family of lichen-forming fungi in the order Lecanorales. First proposed by Carl Adolph Agardh in 1821, the family now comprises 63 genera and about 750 species. Ramalinaceae lichens exhibit diverse growth forms, including crustose, fruticose, squamulose, leprose, and byssoid thalli, and form symbiotic relationships primarily with green algae of the genus ''Trebouxia''. The family is characterised by pale-coloured thalli, apothecia (fruiting bodies) that are typically pale but may darken with age, and ascospores that vary in shape and septation. Members of the Ramalinaceae are found in a wide range of habitats worldwide, from coastal fog deserts to boreal, temperate, and tropical forests. Some genera, such as ''Namibialina'', ''Vermilacinia'', and '' Niebla'', are endemic to specific coastal desert regions, whilst others like ''Ramalina'' have an almost worldwide distribution. Several species within the family face conservation challenges due to their ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Sphaerophoraceae
The Sphaerophoraceae are a family (biology), family of lichen-forming fungi in the order (biology), order Lecanorales. Species of this family have a widespread distribution, especially in southern temperate regions, with particular diversity in cool temperate rainforests and highly oceanic areas of both hemispheres. The family, which was proposed by Elias Magnus Fries in 1831, is characterised by its distinctive boundary tissue that separates generative and vegetative parts, and includes species with various lichen growth forms, growth forms ranging from shrub-like (fruticose lichen, fruticose) to crusty (crustose lichen, crustose). Most members produce , specialised spore-dispersing structures typically found at branch tips, though some genera have different reproductive strategies. The family contains seven genera and 39 species, with members producing characteristic secondary metabolites such as sphaerophorin. While traditionally defined by fruticose growth forms and mazaedial ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Porpidiaceae
The Lecideaceae are a family of lichen-forming fungi in the order Lecideales. It contains about 30 genera and roughly 250 species. A major distinguishing characteristic of the family is the form of the fruiting bodies: typically circular, dark, and without a . Most species in the family are lichenised with green algae, although a few species, scattered amongst several genera, are lichenicolous—they live on other lichens. Lecideaceae lichens tend to grow on rocks, wood, and soil. Several Lecideaceae species accelerate the weathering of rock surfaces, a process known as pedogenesis, by extending their hyphae into cracks and expelling rock flakes. This contributes to significantly faster weathering rates in certain environments, impacts various materials from natural rocks to man-made Sekishu roof tiles, and involves key biomolecules identified for survival and biodeterioration, including compounds to withstand intense ultraviolet radiation. The largest genus in the family, ' ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Tephromelataceae
The Tephromelataceae are a family of lichenized fungi in the order Lecanorales. The family was circumscribed by Austrian lichenologist Josef Hafellner in 1984. Tephromelataceae comprises the genera '' Tephromela'', '' Calvitimela'', '' Mycoblastus'' and '' Violella'', which together constitute a well-supported monophyletic group. Taxonomy The family Mycoblastaceae, proposed by the German lichenologist Josef Hafellner to contain the genus ''Mycoblastus'', was also published in the same 1984 publication; it was later placed into synonymy with Tephromelataceae. The latter name takes precedence because of its first adopted use. Description Tephromelataceae lichens typically form a crustose (crust-like) thallus. They mostly engage in a symbiotic relationship with green algae, specifically from the genus ''Trebouxia'', to form lichenised structures; instances of them living on other lichens ( lichenicolous) are rare. The reproductive structures of Tephromelataceae lichens, called a ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Species of this family have a widespread distribution. Taxonomy Lecanoraceae was circumscribed by German lichenologist Gustav Wilhelm Körber in 1855.

Malmideaceae
Malmideaceae is a family of crustose and corticolous lichens in the order Lecanorales. It contains eight genera and about 70 species. Taxonomy Malmideaceae was created in 2011 to accommodate a group of species, formerly placed in genus '' Malcolmiella'' (family Pilocarpaceae), that molecular phylogenetics showed to be a distinct lineage and worthy of recognition at the family level. The genus ''Savoronala'', containing the single African species '' S. madagascariensis'', was added to the family in 2013, while another monotypic genus '' Kalbionora'' was added in 2017. Description Malmideaceae is similar to Pilocarpaceae, but can be distinguished from that family by thallus organization and ascus structure. ''Malmidea'' species have a thallus made of goniocysts–spherical aggregations of photobiont cells surrounded by short-celled hyphae. This characteristic is quite rare in the Pilocarpaceae, only found in the monotypic genera '' Calopadiopsis'' and '' Pseudocalopadia''. ...
