Hueidea Cerussata
''Hueidea'' is a fungal genus in the family Teloschistaceae. The type species is ''Hueidea australiensis'', a saxicolous lichen, saxicolous (rock-dwelling), crustose lichen found on granite rocks in the Mount Kosciuszko area of New South Wales, Australia. Both the species and the genus were described as new to science in 2003 by the Australian lichenologists Gintaras Kantvilas and Patrick McCarthy. An additional five species were added to the genus in 2024. Taxonomy ''Hueidea'' was erected in 2003 by Gintaras Kantvilas and Patrick M. McCarthy to accommodate the alpine Australian endemism, endemic ''H. australiensis''. On the basis of its thick-walled, (i.e., and lacking ) apothecia and the absence of anthraquinone pigments, the authors placed the genus in the family Fuscideaceae (Umbilicariales), albeit with some reservations. Their cautious assessment reflected the fact that no molecular data were then available. molecular phylogenetics, Molecular analyses using variou ...

Gintaras Kantvilas (born 1956) is an Australian lichenologist, who earned his Ph.D. in 1985 from the University of Tasmania with a thesis entitled ''Studies on Tasmanian rainforest lichens''. He has authored over 432 species names, and 167 genera in the field of mycology Mycology is the branch of biology concerned with the study of fungus, fungi, including their Taxonomy (biology), taxonomy, genetics, biochemistry, biochemical properties, and ethnomycology, use by humans.

In 1985, he was working for the Tasmanian National Parks and Wildlife Service. In 1987 he was listing his affiliation as Department of Botany, University of Tasmania, in addition to the Tasmanian National Parks and Wildlife Service. By 2001 his affiliation was listed as the Tasmanian Herbarium, and this has continued until at least 2018. The lichen genera '' Gintarasia'' and ...
