Class of lichenized fungi
Lecanoromycetes is the largest class of lichenized fungi .[ 1] It belongs to the subphylum Pezizomycotina in the phylum Ascomycota .[ 2] The asci (spore -bearing cells) of the Lecanoromycetes most often release spores by rostrate dehiscence .[ 1]
They are monophyletic (a group of taxa composed only of all the descendants of a common ancestor).[ 3]
Genera of uncertain placement [ edit ]
There are several genera in the Lecanoromycetes that have not been placed into any order or family. These are:[ 4]
