Umbilicariales Genera
The Umbilicariales are an order of lichenized fungi in the subclass Umbilicariomycetidae, class Lecanoromycetes. It contains five families: Elixiaceae, Fuscideaceae, Ophioparmaceae, Ropalosporaceae, and Umbilicariaceae. Umbilicariales was proposed as a new order in 2007, while the subclass Umbilicariomycetidae was proposed in 2013. Families and genera , Species Fungorum accepts 5 families, 18 genera, and 107 species in the order Umbilicariales: * Elixiaceae ::'' Elixia'' – 2 spp. ::'' Meridianelia'' – 1 sp. *Fuscideaceae ::'' Albemarlea'' – 1 sp. ::'' Fuscidea'' – 31 spp. ::'' Hueidea'' – 1 sp. ::'' Lettauia'' – 2 sp. ::'' Maronea'' – 2 spp. ::'' Maronora'' – 1 sp. ::'' Orphniospora'' – 2 spp. * Ophioparmaceae ::'' Boreoplaca'' – 1 sp. ::'' Hypocenomyce'' – 5 spp. ::'' Ophioparma'' – 4 spp. * Ropalosporaceae ::'' Ropalospora'' – 8 spp. *Umbilicariaceae ::''Fulgidea'' – 2 spp. ::''Lasallia'' – 5 spp. ::''Umbilicaria'' – 35 spp. ::''Xylopsora ...

Umbilicaria Hyperborea
''Umbilicaria hyperborea'', commonly known as blistered rock tripe, is a species of foliose lichen in the family Umbilicariaceae. It is widely distributed in arctic and alpine regions. Taxonomy It was first described as a new species by Swedish lichenologist Erik Acharius in 1794 as ''Lichen hyperboreus''. Georg Franz Hoffmann transferred it to the genus ''Umbilicaria'' in 1796. In a 2017 molecular phylogenetic analysis of the genus ''Umbilicaria'', ''U. hyperborea'' was proposed as the type species of the subgenus ''Umbilicaria''. Closely related species include '' U. polyphylla'', '' U. iberica'', and '' U. arctica''. Description The thallus of ''Umbilicaria hyperborea'' ranges in colour from medium- to dark-brown, with texture of the upper surface more or less smooth or warty. The thallus undersurface is smooth, and there are not any rhizines. The disc-shaped apothecia are flat to convex and have multiple complex ridges. Habitat and distribution The lich ...
