Burgella is a genus of fungi in the family Clavulinaceae. The genus is monotypic, containing the single species Burgella flavoparmeliae, described in 2007. The genus name of Burgella is in honour of Pietro Benedetto Luigi Burgo (1876-1964), an Italian electrical and industrial engineer. The genus was circumscribed by Paul Diederich and James D. Lawrey in Biblioth. Lichenol. Vol.107 on page 22 in 2007.

Eonema is a fungal genus in the family Hygrophoraceae. It is monotypic, consisting of the single corticioid species Eonema pyriforme. This fungus was previously classified in the genus Athelia until molecular analysis demonstrated that it was unrelated to the Atheliales and instead nested within the Hygrophoraceae.

Lichenostigmatales is an order of fungi in the class Arthoniomycetes. It contains the single family Phaeococcomycetaceae. Lichenostigmatales was circumscribed in 2014 by Damien Ertz, Paul Diederich, and James D. Lawrey, with genus Lichenostigma assigned as the type. Using molecular phylogenetics, they identified a lineage of taxa in the Arthoniomycetes that were phylogenetically distinct from the order Arthoniales. Species in the Lichenostigmatales include black yeasts, lichenicolous, and melanised rock-inhabiting species. Recent estimates for the number of taxa in the family

Dictyonema huaorani is a species of basidiolichen in the family Hygrophoraceae. It is one of few known non-mushroom fungi found to produce psilocybin, although this remains insufficiently confirmed. The fungus was first described in 2014.

Briancoppinsia is a fungal genus in the family Arthoniaceae. It is monotypic, containing the single species Briancoppinsia cytospora, a lichenicolous fungus that parasitises parmelioid lichens, as well as Cladonia, Lepra, and Lecanora conizaeoides, among others. The species was first described scientifically by Léon Vouaux in 1914 as Phyllosticta cytospora. Its morphology is reminiscent of Phoma cytospora, a lichenicolous coelomycete found on several genera of lichens. However, B. cytospora has several distinct characters, both anatomical, chemical and within DNA sequence that characterised

Muscinupta is a fungal genus that produces small white delicate fan-shaped to cupulate fruitbodies on mosses. It is monotypic, containing the single species Muscinupta laevis. The type species is better known under the name Cyphellostereum laeve but Cyphellostereum is a basidiolichen.

Dictyonema hernandezii is a species of basidiolichen in the family Hygrophoraceae. Found in montane rainforests of Costa Rica and in Colombia, it was described as new to science in 2011. The specific epithet hernandezii honours Venezuelan lichenologist Jesús Hernández.

Agonimia is a genus of lichen-forming fungi in the family Verrucariaceae. These lichens typically form crusts made of tiny grain-like clumps or small scale-like fragments on tree bark and rocks, with some species developing delicate leaf-like structures up to 5 mm across. The genus includes about 22 species found worldwide, characterized by their black flask-shaped reproductive structures and distinctive brick-patterned ascospores.

Lepidostromatales is an order of fungi in the class Agaricomycetes. It is the only known order of basidiomycete fungi composed entirely of lichenized members. Morphologically, the fruiting bodies of all species are clavarioid. Six species are known, five of which were described within the span of 2007–2013. Due to its morphological similarity to the genus Multiclavula, its isolated phylogenetic position (distinct from all other orders based on molecular data) was not understood until quite recently. The photobionts that have been found in association with members of this group are not known

Dictyonema phyllophilum is a little-known species of basidiolichen in the family Hygrophoraceae. It is found in Borneo.

Dictyonema metallicum is a species of basidiolichen in the family Hygrophoraceae. It is found in the montane rainforests of Ecuador. Characterised by its metallic shimmer, it is an epiphytic lichen that spans large areas on host tree trunks and frequently extends to adjacent bryophytes. Its unique visual texture is created by the loosely interwoven dark blue fibrils of the thallus, a thin, compressed filamentous layer, accentuated by a silver prothallus.

Dictyonema gomezianum is a little-known filamentous, blue-green basidiolichen in the family Hygrophoraceae. It forms dense, shimmering blue-green mats up to 5 cm (2 in) across that grow on tree bark and mosses in mountain rainforests. The species is known only from Costa Rica, where it was discovered at Las Cruces Biological Station at an elevation of 1,200 meters. It is closely related to Dictyonema metallicum but can be distinguished by its narrower fungal threads and has only been found in a sterile state without reproductive structures.

Cora imi is a species of basidiolichen in the family Hygrophoraceae. Found in Costa Rica, it was formally described as a new species in 2016 by Robert Lücking, José Luis Chaves, and James D. Lawrey. The specific epithet imi is an acronym for the International Mycological Institute. The lichen is known only from the type collection, which was found at an altitude of about 3,400 m (11,200 ft) in the Los Santos Forest Reserve in Cerro de la Muerte. Here it was growing on the ground in páramo among bryophytes.

Cora hymenocarpa is a species of basidiolichen in the family Hygrophoraceae. Found in Costa Rica, it was formally described as a new species in 2016 by Robert Lücking, José Luis Chaves, and James D. Lawrey. The specific epithet hymenocarpa refers to the "strongly flattened, emarginate hymenophore". Cora hymenocarpa grows in the tropical rainforests of Costa Rica as an epiphyte on the somewhat shaded branches and twigs of shrubs and trees. The Colombian species Cora hafecesweorthensis is similar in appearance but is not closely related phylogenetically.

Cora barbulata is a species of basidiolichen in the family Hygrophoraceae. Found in Costa Rica, it was formally described as a new species in 2015 by Robert Lücking, Manuela Dal-Forno, and James Lawrey. The type specimen was collected in the Los Santos Forest Reserve at an altitude of about 3,400 m (11,200 ft). The lichen occurs in upper montane cloud forests in the Costa Rican Cordillera de Talamanca where it grows as an epiphyte on páramo shrubs. The specific epithet barbulata refers to the beard-like concentric tomentose (woolly) rings of the upper lobe surfaces. Cora aspera, found in
