The Lecanoromycetidae are a subclass of fungi in the class Lecanoromycetes. This subclass contains seven orders.

Pseudocyphellaria perpetua is a species of corticolous (bark-dwelling), foliose (leafy) cyanolichen in the family Peltigeraceae. It was described as new to science in 2002 by lichenologists Bruce McCune and Jolanta Miądlikowska. It is distinguished from similar species, including some forms of P. crocata, by its yellow medulla and mostly marginal soralia. Other characteristics include its narrow, linear lobes, and its pale lower undersurface. Some molecular phylogenetic analysis suggests that Pseudocyphellaria perpetua and P. crocata are morphotypes of the same phylogenetic species. P.

Peltigera hydrothyria, commonly known as the waterfan, is a relatively rare aquatic lichen in the family Peltigeraceae, native to North America. It grows in cold, clean mountain streams, where it attaches to rocks and bedrock in shaded, riparian habitats. First described in 1856 as Hydrothyria venosa, it was initially placed in its own genus due to its distinctive gelatinous thallus and aquatic lifestyle. Molecular studies later demonstrated its affinity with the genus Peltigera, leading to its reclassification in 2000. The lichen forms small, blackish rosettes with ruffled margins and

Peltigera weberi is a rare species of foliose lichen in the family Peltigeraceae. It is found in Papua New Guinea, where it grows on road banks and on earth and rock debris.

Peltigera papuana is a lichen-forming fungus in the family Peltigeraceae. It was described in 2009 from Madang Province of Papua New Guinea, which inspired its specific epithet. Genetic analysis of both the mycobiont and the photobiont, which is a Nostoc cyanobacterium, suggests that the evolutionary origin of Pelitgera papuana is from an ancient dispersal event from South America, although this remains inconclusive.

Peltigera montis-wilhelmii is a rare species of corticolous (bark-dwelling), foliose lichen in the family Peltigeraceae. Found in Papua New Guinea, it was formally described as a new species in 2009 by Emmanuël Sérusiaux, Bernard Goffinet, Jolanta Miądlikowska, and Orvo Vitikainen. The type specimen was collected from Pindaunde valley on Mount Wilhelm (Chimbu Province) at an altitude of 3,600 m (11,800 ft). The species epithet refers to the type locality.

Peltigera koponenii is a species of foliose lichen in the family Peltigeraceae. Found in Papua New Guinea, it was formally described as a new species in 2009 by Emmanuël Sérusiaux, Bernard Goffinet, Jolanta Miądlikowska, and Orvo Vitikainen. The type specimen was collected near Lake Wanba at an altitude of 2,400–2,500 m (7,900–8,200 ft), where it was found growing on a tree trunk in an open montane forest of Nothofagus and Pandanus. The species epithet honours Finnish bryologist Timo Koponen, "who made large and well processed collections of Peltigera in Papua New Guinea".

Peltigera granulosa is a species of terricolous (ground-dwelling), foliose lichen in the family Peltigeraceae. Found in Papua New Guinea, it was formally described as a new species in 2009 by Emmanuël Sérusiaux, Bernard Goffinet, Jolanta Miądlikowska, and Orvo Vitikainen. The type specimen was collected from open grassland between Gumum and Sape villages (Morobe Province), where it was found growing on sand. The species epithet granulosa refers to its characteristic granulose margin.

Peltigera castanea is a species of terricolous and muscicolous (ground- and moss-dwelling), foliose lichen in the family Peltigeraceae. Described as a new species in 2003, it is part of the taxonomically challenging species complex centred around Peltigera didactyla. Recognised based on phylogenetic studies that highlighted its unique genetic markers, P. castanea is distinguished by its dark, chestnut-coloured upper surface, which inspired its vernacular name, chestnut pelt lichen. Its known distribution includes North America (British Columbia, Western Canada), Asia (China and Siberia),

Spirographa ciliata is a species of lichenicolous fungus in the family Spirographaceae. It was first formally described by Klaus Kalb in 1993 as Cornutispora ciliata. Adam Grzegorz Flakus, Javier Etayo, and Jolanta Miądlikowska transferred it to genus Spirographa in 2019.

Sinuicella is a fungal genus in the family Peltigeraceae. It is a monotypic genus, containing the single species Sinuicella denisonii. Both the genus and species were described as new to science in 2021 by Daphne Stone, Bruce McCune, and Jolanta Miądlikowska. The type specimen was collected by the first author from Polk County, Oregon (USA), where it was found growing on the soil. It is only known to occur in the region of the type locality. The lichen has a minute fruticose (bushy) grey to almost black thallus. The photobiont partner is a member of the cyanobacterial genus Nostoc. The genus
