Families
Anziaceae
Bacidiaceae
Biatoraceae
Biatorellaceae
The Biatorellaceae are a family of lichenized fungi in the order Lecanorales. The family is monotypic, and contains the single genus Biatorella. Species are found in northern temperate regions, especially in Europe. [more]
Brigantiaeaceae
The Brigantiaeaceae are a family of fungi in the Ascomycota, class Lecanoromycetes. Its relationship to other taxa in the Lecanoromycetes is not well understood, so it is considered to be incertae sedis with respect to ordinal placement. Species in this family are lichenized with green algae, and are usually found growing on bark. [more]
Caliciaceae
The Caliciaceae are a family of mostly lichen-forming fungi belonging to the class Lecanoromycetes in the division Ascomycota. The family contains 31 genera and 731 species. [more]
Candelariaceae
The Candelariales are an order of fungi in the class Lecanoromycetes. It is a monotypic taxon, and contains the single family Candelariaceae. [more]
Catillariaceae
The Catillariaceae are a family of lichenized fungi in the order Lecanorales. Species of this family have a widespread distribution, especially in temperate areas. [more]
Cladoniaceae
The Cladoniaceae are a family of lichenized fungi in the order Lecanorales. The reindeer moss and cup lichens (Cladonia) belong to this family. [more]

The Ramalinaceae are a family of lichenized fungi in the order Lecanorales. The family name is synonymous with the name Bacidiaceae. Species of this family have a widespread distribution. [more]
Rhizocarpaceae
The Rhizocarpaceae are a family of fungi in the Ascomycota, class Lecanoromycetes. Its relationship to other taxa in the Lecanoromycetes is not well understood, so it is considered to be incertae sedis with respect to ordinal placement. [more]
Rimulariaceae
Schaereriaceae
