Kashiwadia
''Kashiwadia'' is a genus of lichen-forming fungi in the family Physciaceae. The genus was circumscribed in Sergey Kondratyuk, László Lőkös, and Jae-Seoun Hur in 2014 to contain the species ''Physcia orientalis'', after molecular phylogenetic analysis showed that the taxon occupied an isolated phylogenetic position in the Physciaceae. An additional five species were added to the genus in 2021. The genus name honours Japanese lichenologist Hiroyuki Kashiwadani, who originally described the type species. ''Kashiwadia'' species are foliose (leafy) and whitish-grey, with lobes measuring 1–2.5 mm wide. The upper surface of the thallus is smooth, convex, and lacks pruina, while the lower surface is pale to brownish. Apothecia are rare; when present, they are cup-shaped with a diameter of 1–2 mm and a brown, pruinose disc. Both atranorin and zeorin are lichen product Lichen products, also known as lichen substances, are organic compounds produced by a lichen. Spe ...

Leucodermia
''Leucodermia'' is a genus of lichen-forming fungi in the family Physciaceae. Taxonomy The genus was circumscribed by German lichenologist Klaus Kalb in 2015, with ''Leucodermia leucomelos'' assigned as the type species. ''Leucodermia'' includes lichens that were previously classified in genus ''Anaptychia'' section ''Polyblastidium'' series ''leucomelaenae''. The genus name combines ''leucomelaenae'' with ''Heterodermia''. Klaus included 10 species in his original circumscription of the genus; ''Leucodermia guzmaniana'' was added as a newly described species in 2019. Description Characteristics of genus ''Leucodermia'' include a thallus that is either leafy (''foliose'') to somewhat bushy (''subfruticose'') with lobes that are linear-elongate, ribbon-like, and dichotomously branched. The lobes have conspicuous, long rhizines at their margins. The thallus is loosely attached to the substrate and lacks a lower cortex. The apothecia often have pruinose discs and ''Polyblas ...

Culbersonia
''Culbersonia'' is a fungal genus in the family Caliciaceae. This is a monotypic genus, containing the single foliose lichen ''Culbersonia nubila'' (formerly called ''Culbersonia americana''). This species, which grows on trees and rocks, is found in dry subtropical regions of the world, particularly in Africa and Central America. Taxonomy The genus ''Culbersonia'' was circumscribed by Theodore Esslinger in 2000, to contain a lichen he collected from Arizona that he named ''Culbersonia americana''. The genus name of ''Culbersonia'' is in honour of Chicita Frances 'Nan' Culberson, (b.1931), an American botanist (Mycology und Lichenology), who worked as a botanical researcher at Duke University in Durham/North Carolina and William Louis "Bill" Culberson (1929–2003), an American lichenologist. As they were "longtime friends and mentors" of Esslinger. After ''Culbersonia americana'' was published, it was determined that the Arizona species was the same as one previously descr ...

Rinodina
''Rinodina'' is a genus of lichen-forming fungi in the family Physciaceae. The genus has a widespread distribution and contains about 265 species. It is hypothesized that a few saxicolous species common to dry regions of western North America, southern Europe, North Africa and central Asia may date back 240 million years to the Middle Triassic The Triassic ( ) is a geologic period and system which spans 50.6 million years from the end of the Permian Period 251.902 million years ago (Mya), to the beginning of the Jurassic Period 201.36 Mya.

Polyblastidium
''Polyblastidium'' is a genus of foliose lichens in the family Physciaceae. It has 18 species. The genus was circumscribed by German lichenologist Klaus Kalb in 2015, with '' Polyblastidium japonicum'' assigned as the type species. ''Polyblastidium'' is similar in morphology to ''Heterodermia'', but its lower surface is cobweb-like in structure (''arachnoid''), and its ascospores are mostly 1-septate with 1 to 3 sporoblastidia (small subsidiary cavities). It is this latter feature that is referenced in the genus name ''Polyblastidium'' (''poly'' = "many" + sporoblastidia). The genus contains several species that were formerly classified in the genus '' Anaptychia'' (section ''Polyblastidium'' series ''Polyblastidium''). Species *'' Polyblastidium appendiculatum'' *'' Polyblastidium casarettianum'' *'' Polyblastidium chilense'' *''Polyblastidium corallophorum'' *'' Polyblastidium dendriticum'' *'' Polyblastidium fragilissimum'' *'' Polyblastidium hypocaesium'' *'' Polyblast ...

Physciella
''Physciella'' is a genus of lichen-forming fungi in the family Physciaceae. Circumscribed in 1986, it is distinguished from the similar genera ''Physcia'' and '' Phaeophyscia'' by its prosoplectenchymatous (comprising long narrow wavy parallel hyphae) lower cortex, the lack of the secondary metabolite atranorin in the upper cortex, and short, ellipsoid conidia A conidium ( ; ), sometimes termed an asexual chlamydospore or chlamydoconidium (), is an asexual, non-motile spore of a fungus. The word ''conidium'' comes from the Ancient Greek word for dust, ('). They are also called mitospores due to th ....
