Marchandiomyces

Marchandiomyces is a genus of anamorphic fungi in the family Corticiaceae.[2] Species include M. aurantiacus and M. corallinus, which are lichenicolous species especially found on lichens of the genera Physcia and Parmelia.[3][4] Although ~95% of fungal parasites of lichens are thought to belong to the phylum Ascomycota,[5] those within the genus Marchandiomyces belong to the phylum Basidiomycota.[2]
