Piccolia

	Piccolia ''Piccolia'' is a small genus of crustose lichens in the class Lecanoromycetes. First circumscribed by Italian lichenologist Abramo Bartolommeo Massalongo in 1864, it contains ten species. Due to a lack of molecular data, it has not been assigned to an order or family. Taxonomy Massalongo established the genus, which was initially monotypic, to contain the species ''Piccolia crocea''. He named it for Gregorio Piccoli, an 18th-century naturalist he referred to as "the most eminent investigator of the natural world". In 1927, Alexander Zahlbruckner, an Austrian-Hungarian lichenologist, merged it into the genus ''Biatorella'', based on the fact that they shared a number of characteristics: a crustose thallus, multi-spored asci (the lichen's spore-bearing cells) and apothecia that lack a thalline border. However, Austrian lichenologist Josef Hafellner separated the two genera out again in 1994, arguing that ''Biatorella'' had been rendered "highly heterogenous" by Zahlbruckner's de ...

	Piccolia Nannaria ''Piccolia nannaria'' is a species of crustose lichen in the class Lecanoromycetes. It is widespread but uncommon in the coastal plain of southeastern North America. Initially thought to be corticolous (bark-dwelling), later collection of the lichen suggest that it may be lichenicolous (lichen-dwelling). Taxonomy The species was first formally described as a new species in 1872 by American lichenologist Edward Tuckerman, as ''Heterothecium nannarium''. The type specimen was collected by Charles Wright in Texas in 1850. Alexander Zahlbruckner proposed a transfer to the genus ''Biatorella'' in 1927. James Lendemer and Sean Beeching transferred the taxon to the genus ''Piccolia'' in 2007. Description ''Piccolia nannaria'' is characterized by its and yellow exterior or thallus. Its , which range in colour from a subtle green to an orange-yellow, are quite tiny, and its asci are , housing numerous minuscule spherical, colourless .

	Lecanoromycetes Lecanoromycetes is the largest class of lichenized fungi. It belongs to the subphylum Pezizomycotina in the phylum Ascomycota. The asci (spore-bearing cells) of the Lecanoromycetes most often release spores by rostrate dehiscence. Genera of uncertain placement The are several genera in the Lecanoromycetes that have not been placed into any order or family. These are: ''Argopsis'' – 1 sp. ''Ascographa'' - 1 sp.
