Follmanniella is a genus of lichenized fungi in the family Roccellaceae. A monotypic genus, it contains the single species Follmanniella scutellata. The genus name of Follmanniella is in honour of Otto Follmann (1856 – 1926), who was a German geologist, paleontologist and educator. The genus was circumscribed by Jörg Peine and Birgit Werner in Flechten Follmann on page 289 in 1995, and then in Biblioth. Lichenol. Vol.107 on page 38 in 2012 (Sekundär-Literatur).

Lecanographa imitans is a rare species of lichenicolous (lichen-dwelling) fungus in the family Lecanographaceae. Found on the Galápagos Islands, it was described as new to science in 2003 by Birgit Werner and Gerhard Follman. The holotype specimen was collected on Baltra Island, north of Santa Cruz Island, in January 1929. The fungus grows specifically on the thallus of Roccella gracilis, a fruticose lichen. The species epithet imitans (Latin for "imitating" or "mimicking") refers to the potential confusion of its ascomata (fruiting bodies) with the true fructifications of its host lichen.

Arthonia darbishirei is a species of lichenicolous (lichen-dwelling) fungus in the family Arthoniaceae. Found on the Galápagos Islands, it was described as new to science in 2003 by Gerhard Follman and Birgit Werner. It was first collected on San Salvador Island in June 1872 during the Hassler Expedition. The fungus grows specifically on the thallus of Roccella nigerrima, a fruticose lichen that is endemic to the Galápagos. The species epithet darbishirei honours the British lichenologist Otto Vernon Darbishire (1870–1934), who initially described the host lichen and made significant
