Buelliella lecanorae is a species of lichenicolous (lichen-eating) fungus in the class Dothideomycetes. It is found in a few locations in Estonia and in Crimea, where it grows parasitically on members of the Lecanora subfusca species group.

Abrothallus halei is a species of lichenicolous (lichen-dwelling) fungus in the family Abrothallaceae. It was formally described as a new species in 2010 by the lichenologists Sergio Pérez-Ortega, Ave Suija, David Leslie Hawksworth, and Rolf Santesson. The type specimen was collected by Cliff Wetmore east of Hare Lake (Superior National Forest, Minnesota) at an elevation of 550 m (1,800 ft); there it was found on the foliose lichen Lobaria quercizans, which itself was growing on the bark of Acer saccharum. The fungus has also been collected in West Virginia, Maine, as well as in Norway. The

Taitaia is a single-species fungal genus in the family Gomphillaceae. It was circumscribed in 2018 to contain the species Taitaia aurea, a lichenicolous (lichen-dwelling) fungus. This species is characterized by aggregated ascomata with yellow margins, and salmon-red discs that originate from a single base. It is known only from a few sites in Kenya's tropical lower-mountain forests, where it grows on thalli of the lichen Crocodia.

Abrothallus nephromatis is a widely distributed species of lichenicolous fungus in the family Abrothallaceae. It was formally described as a new species in 2015 by Ave Suija and Sergio Pérez-Ortega. The type specimen was collected near Dawson Falls in Wells Gray Provincial Park (British Columbia, Canada) at an elevation of about 800 m (2,600 ft), where it was found on a Nephroma parile lichen that itself was growing on a dead trunk of birch tree. The species epithet refers to the host genus, Nephroma. Abrothallus nephromatis has been collected from Africa (Tanzania, Uganda); Asia (Russian Far

Abrothallus etayoi is a species of lichenicolous fungus in the family Abrothallaceae. Found in Mexico, it was formally described as a new species in 2015 by Ave Suija and Sergio Pérez-Ortega. The type specimen was collected from Angahuan (Michoacán) at an elevation of 2,470 m (8,100 ft); there, in a pine-oak forest, it was found growing on a Sticta lichen that itself was growing on oak. The species epithet honours Spanish lichenologist Javier Etayo, "a keen collector of lichenicolous fungi and lichens". Abrothallus etayoi differs from other Abrothallus fungi by the shape of its pycnidia

Abrothallus ertzii is a species of lichenicolous fungus in the family Abrothallaceae. Found in Canada, it was formally described as a new species in 2015 by Ave Suija and Sergio Pérez-Ortega. The type specimen was collected near Dawson Falls in Wells Gray Provincial Park (British Columbia), where it was found growing on the thallus of the foliose lichen Lobaria pulmonaria, which itself was growing on the trunk of a Thuja plicata tree. It has also been collected in Quebec. The species epithet honours Damien Ertz, who collected the type. Abrothallus ertzii is distinguished from other

Abrothallus eriodermae is a species of lichenicolous fungus in the family Abrothallaceae. Found in Alaska, South America, Jamaica, and Réunion island, it was formally described as a new species in 2015 by Ave Suija, Javier Etayo, and Sergio Pérez-Ortega. The type specimen was collected from the Bébour forest in La Reunion, growing on Erioderma papyraceum. It has also been recorded on Erioderma chilense, E. sorediatum, and E. wrightii. The species epithet refers to the host genus Erioderma.

Abrothallus doliiformis is a species of lichenicolous fungus in the family Abrothallaceae. Found in Peru, it was formally described as a new species in 2015 by Ave Suija and Sergio Pérez-Ortega. The type specimen was collected from Machu Picchu (Department of Cuzco) at an elevation of 2,484 m (8,150 ft), where it was growing on the thallus of an unidentified Sticta lichen. It is only known to occur at the type locality. The species epithet doliiformis refers to its doliiform (barrel-shaped) pycnidia. This feature, along with its hyaline, single-celled conidia (measuring 9.5–14.5 by 6–9.5 μm)

Abrothallus canariensis is a species of lichenicolous fungus in the family Abrothallaceae. Found in the Canary Islands, it was formally described as a new species in 2015 by Sergio Pérez-Ortega, Pieter van den Boom, and Ave Suija. The type specimen was collected from Chinobre (Santa Cruz de Tenerife), where it was found on a Pseudocyphellaria aurata lichen that itself was growing on a species of Erica. The species epithet refers to the area of its type locality. The fungus is similar to Abrothallus secedens, but unlike that species, has four-spored asci, and larger ascospores that measure

Abrothallus boomii is a little-known species of lichenicolous (lichen-dwelling) fungus in the family Abrothallaceae. It parasitizes the lichen Nephroma tangeriense in Portugal. Named after the lichenologist Pieter van den Boom, this species is distinguishable from other Abrothallus species by its host preference and unique characteristics, including having six-spored reproductive structures (asci) and semi-immersed pycnidia with colourless spores. The fungus produces black, sometimes greenish-dusted surface structures on its host.

Abrothallus is a genus of lichenicolous (lichen-dwelling) fungi. It is the only genus in the monotypic family Abrothallaceae, which itself is the sole taxon in the order Abrothallales. Species produce small, blackish, nearly spherical fruiting bodies on the surface of their host lichens, often dusted with green or yellow powder (pruina). About 44 species are accepted, most of them parasites of leafy or shrubby macrolichens.

Chaenotricha is a small genus of lichen-forming fungi in the family Coniocybaceae. Species live fungicolously, growing on the fruiting bodies of the poroid bracket fungus Trichaptum, and produce tiny, pin-like, dust-sporing fruiting bodies typical of calicioid lichens. The genus was established in 2023 to accommodate a distinct lineage of Trichaptum specialists. These lichens occur on standing dead conifer trunks and snags in boreal and hemiboreal forests of northern Europe and North America. The two described species are distinguished primarily by stalk length and ascospore size, though DNA

Didymocyrtis trassii is a species of lichenicolous (lichen-eating) fungus in the family Phaeosphaeriaceae. It is found in southern Ukraine, where it parasitises the foliose lichen Cetraria aculeata growing on sand dunes.

Chaenotricha cilians is a species of pin lichen in the family Coniocybaceae. It was described as new to science in 2023 from Estonia, and is one of two species in the newly established genus Chaenotricha. Unlike most lichens, it grows on the fruiting bodies of bracket fungi in the genus Trichaptum rather than on bark or rock, producing tiny dark pin-like structures along the edges of its host. The species is known from boreal and hemiboreal forests across northern Europe, with a single record from Canada.

Caloplaca tephromelae is a species of lichenicolous (lichen-dwelling) lichen in the family Teloschistaceae. Found in Australia, it was formally described as a new species in 2021 by Gintaras Kantvilas, Ave Suija, and Jurga Motiejūnaitė. The type specimen was collected from the northern rim of Callitris Gully (Wind Song Property, Tasmania); here it was found growing on the thallus of the lichen Tephromela atra, which itself was growing on dolerite outcrops. Caloplaca tephromelae is only known to occur at the type locality. It appears as whitish areolate sections, outlined by a dark band of
