Lichinella is a genus of lichen-forming fungi in the family Lichinellaceae.
Taxonomy
The genus was circumscribed in 1872 by the Finnish lichenologist William Nylander.[2]
In a 2024 multilocus molecular phylogenetics-informed re-classification of the Lichinomycetes, Lichinella was placed in the newly erected family Lichinellaceae together with Edwardiella, Gonotichia and Synalissina. The authors treat Lichinella as a medium-sized genus of almost 30 species, and diagnose the family by thallinocarpous ascomata (fruiting bodies developing within the thallus) and a Lichinella-type ascus. Several names formerly placed in segregate genera have been combined into Lichinella (e.g. transfers from Gonohymenia and Thallinocarpon), reflecting the new phylogeny.[3]
