Subclass Ostropomycetidae

incertae sedis (not placed in a subclass)

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]
