Physciaceae

The Physciaceae are a family of mostly lichen-forming fungi belonging to the class Lecanoromycetes in the division Ascomycota. Many members of this family are known as shadow lichens.[1] A 2016 estimate placed 19 genera and 601 species in the family.[2]

Genera

This is a list of the genera contained within the Physciaceae, based on a 2020 review and summary of ascomycete classification.[3] Following the genus name is the taxonomic authority, year of publication, and the number of species:

  • Anaptychia Körb. (1848) – about 15 spp.
  • Coscinocladium Kunze (1846) – 2 spp.
  • Heterodermia Trevis. (1868) – about 90 spp.
  • Hyperphyscia Müll.Arg. (1894) – 9 spp.
  • Kashiwadia S.Y.Kondr., Lőkös & Hur (2014) – 1 sp.
  • Leucodermia Kalb (2015) – 10 spp.
  • Mischoblastia A.Massal. (1852) – 3 spp.
  • Mobergia H.Mayrhofer & Sheard (1992) – 1 sp.
  • Oxnerella S.Y.Kondr., Lőkös & Hur (2014) – 1 spp.
  • Phaeophyscia Mob. (1977) – 66 spp.
  • Phaeorrhiza H.Mayrhofer & Poelt (1979) – 2 spp.
  • Physcia (Schreb.) Michaux (1803) – about 80 spp.
  • Physciella Essl. (1986) – 4 spp.
  • Physconia Poelt (1965) – about 25 spp.
  • Rinodina (Ach.) Gray (1821) – about 300 spp
  • Rinodinella H.Mayrhofer & Poelt (1978) – 6 spp.
  • Tornabea Østh. (1980) – 1 spp.

The genus Culbersonia, previously classified in the Physciaceae due to its morphological features, has been shown with molecular phylogenetics to belong to the Caliciaceae.[4]
