Zwackhiomyces
''Zwackhiomyces'' is a genus of lichenicolous fungus, lichenicolous (lichen-dwelling) fungi in the family Xanthopyreniaceae. Taxonomy The genus was circumscription (taxonomy), circumscribed by Martin Grube and Josef Hafellner in 1990, with ''Zwackhiomyces coepulonus'' assigned as the type species. The name ''Zwackhiomyces'' honours the German mycologist Philipp Franz Wilhelm von Zwackh-Holzhausen (1826–1903). ''Zwackhiomyces'' was established to accommodate several lichenicolous fungus, lichenicolous fungi previously classified within the collective genus ''Didymella''. The establishment of this new genus was based on several distinguishing morphology (biology), morphological characteristics, particularly the structure of the , ascus, asci, and , which set it apart from ''Didymella'' and related genera. The genus was placed in the family Arthopyreniaceae within the Dothideales. When first described, the genus included nine species, all of which are parasitic or parasymbiotic o ...

Collemopsidium Foveolatum
''Collemopsidium foveolatum'' is a species of lichen in the family Xanthopyreniaceae. It is a marine lichen that grows entirely embedded within calcareous substrates in the intertidal zone, particularly on limestone rocks and marine shells. The species is characterised by its minute, black, sunken reproductive structures () that measure 0.10–0.24 mm in diameter and create small pits in the substrate. First species description, described in 1911 from specimens collected in England, it has since been documented along coastlines in western Europe, North America and North Africa. The species can be distinguished from similar marine lichens by its consistently small, deeply embedded perithecia and its ability to maintain stable growth by keeping pace with natural substrate erosion. Taxonomy ''Collemopsidium foveolatum'' was first species description, described as ''Arthopyrenia foveolata'' by Annie Lorrain Smith in 1911. In her original description, Smith characterised it as ...

Collemopsidium
''Collemopsidium'' is a genus of fungi in the family Xanthopyreniaceae. Some members of this genus are marine species, and described as "borderline lichens" or "algicolous" fungi. Taxonomy The genus was circumscribed by the Finnish lichenologist William Nylander in 1881, with '' Collemopsidium iocarpum'' assigned as the type species. Description Species of ''Collemopsidium'' form what are known as "borderline lichens" – relatively loose symbiotic associations between fungi and photosynthetic partners. The fungal portion develops an extremely thin thallus (body) that can either grow on the surface of the or be completely embedded within it. When growing on the surface, the thallus appears orange-brown, smooth, and shiny. Some species may develop black (blackened) ridges. The photosynthetic partner is typically '' Hyella caespitosa'', a type of cyanobacterium that contains an orange pigment. While this cyanobacterium normally grows as filaments when living freely on mollusk ...

Frigidopyrenia
''Frigidopyrenia'' is a fungal genus in the family Xanthopyreniaceae. It is a monotypic genus, containing the single species ''Frigidopyrenia bryospila'', a subarctic crustose lichen. This lichen was originally described by the Finnish lichenologist William Nylander in 1864 as ''Verrucaria bryospila''. It was shuffled to several genera in its taxonomic history before Martin Grube circumscribed ''Frigidopyrenia'' in 2005 to contain it. As of 2017, no molecular sequence In mathematics, a sequence is an enumerated collection of objects in which repetitions are allowed and order matters. Like a set, it contains members (also called ''elements'', or ''terms''). The number of elements (possibly infinite) is cal ... data was available for ''Frigidopyrenia''.

Zwackhiomacromyces
''Zwackhiomacromyces'' is a genus of lichenicolous (lichen-dwelling) fungi in the family Xanthopyreniaceae. It has two species. The genus is distinguished by its black, pear-shaped fruiting bodies () with large, nipple-shaped ostioles that have a surface, and a dark, multi-layered wall made up of hyphal cells forming a structure. The genus is closely related to the similarly named genus ''Zwackhiomyces''. Taxonomy The genus was circumscribed in 2014 by the lichenologists Javier Etayo and Pieter van den Boom, with ''Zwackhiomacromyces constrictocarpus'' assigned as the type species. A second species, '' Z. hyalosporus'', was transferred to the genus from '' Pyrenidium'' in 2016. Description ''Zwackhiomacromyces'' has black, pear-shaped ascomata (), which are fungal reproductive structures. These ascomata have relatively large, (nipple-shaped) ostioles—openings through which spores are released. The surface of these ostioles is and opens radially. The wall of the ascom ...

Lichen Families
A lichen ( , ) is a hybrid colony of algae or cyanobacteria living symbiotically among filaments of multiple fungus species, along with yeasts and bacteria embedded in the cortex or "skin", in a mutualistic relationship.Introduction to Lichens – An Alliance between Kingdoms

Lichens are the lifeform that first brought the term symbiosis (as ''Symbiotismus'') into biological context. Lichens have since been recognized as important actors in and producers which many higher trophic feeders feed on, such as reindeer, gastropods, nematodes, mites, and springtails. Lich ...

Dothideomycetes Families
Dothideomycetes is the largest and most diverse class of ascomycete fungi. It comprises 11 orders 90 families, 1,300 genera and over 19,000 known species. Wijayawardene et al. in 2020 added more orders to the class. 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 ...

Index Fungorum
''Index Fungorum'' is an international project to index all formal names (scientific names) in the fungus kingdom. As of 2015, the project is based at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, one of three partners along with Landcare Research and the Institute of Microbiology, Chinese Academy of Sciences. It is somewhat comparable to the International Plant Names Index (IPNI), in which the Royal Botanic Gardens is also involved. A difference is that where IPNI does not indicate correct names, the ''Index Fungorum'' does indicate the status of a name. In the returns from the search page, a currently correct name is indicated in green, while others are in blue (a few, aberrant usages of names are indicated in red). All names are linked to pages giving the correct name, with lists of synonyms. ''Index Fungorum'' is one of three nomenclatural repositories recognized by the Nomenclature Committee for Fungi; the others are '' MycoBank'' and '' Fungal Names''. As of 2023, over a millio ...

Author Citation (botany)
In botanical nomenclature, author citation is the way of citing the person or group of people who validly published a botanical name, i.e. who first published the name while fulfilling the formal requirements as specified by the ''International Code of Nomenclature for algae, fungi, and plants'' (''ICN''). In cases where a species is no longer in its original generic placement (i.e. a new combination of genus and specific epithet), both the authority for the original genus placement and that for the new combination are given (the former in parentheses). In botany, it is customary (though not obligatory) to abbreviate author names according to a recognised List of botanists by author abbreviation, list of standard abbreviations. There are differences between the botanical code and the normal Author citation (zoology), practice in zoology. In zoology, the publication year is given following the author names and the authorship of a new combination is normally omitted. A small number o ...
