The Xanthopyreniaceae are a family of lichen-forming fungi in the order Collemopsidiales. Members of this family are found worldwide on rocks in various climates, from temperate to polar regions, where they form inconspicuous crusty growths or live hidden within the rock surface. Where lichenised, species partner with cyanobacteria, and several lineages are parasitic (lichenicolous) on other lichens. The family is characterized by small, dark fruiting bodies that release spores through a single opening at the top.

The Euantennariaceae are a family of fungi in the order Capnodiales.

Amniculicolaceae is a family of fungi belonging to the order Pleosporales. First described in 2009 by Y. Zhang ter, C.L. Schoch, J. Fournier, Crous & K.D. Hyde, the type genus is Amniculicola.

Teratosphaeriaceae is a family of fungi in the order Mycosphaerellales.

Melaspileaceae is a family of lichenised and saprobic fungi in the class Dothideomycetes, order Eremithallales. A 2015 phylogenetic study narrowed the family to two genera, Melaspilea and Encephalographa, and showed that Eremithallales, which had been proposed in 2008, belongs within the Dothideomycetes, and treated Eremithallaceae as a synonym of Melaspileaceae. Many names historically kept in Melaspileaceae but having lichenicolous or saprobic life histories are part of the order Asterinales and belong in segregate genera such as Melaspileella, Melaspileopsis, Stictographa, Karschia, Buellie

The Vizellaceae are a family of fungi with an uncertain taxonomic placement in the class Dothideomycetes. The family was circumscribed by Dutch mycologist Haring Johannes Swart in 1971. It originally held Blasdalea and the type genus Vizella. Vizellaceae species are found on all continents, particularly in tropical and subtropical regions.

The Tubeufiaceae are a family of fungi in the order Tubeufiales of the class Dothideomycetes. The family was circumscribed in 1979 by mycologist Margaret Elizabeth Barr-Bigelow.

Strigulaceae is a family of mostly lichen-forming fungi, one of two families in the order Strigulales (class Dothideomycetes). A molecular analysis of the type genus, Strigula, has led to a reallocation of the foliicolous species into six genera that correspond to well-delimited clades with diagnostic phenotype features. These lichens live almost exclusively in tropical rainforests, where they grow as thin films on the surface of living leaves rather than on bark or rock like many other lichens. The family includes around 140 species distributed across multiple continents, making them one of t

Aliquandostipitaceae is a family of fungi in the Ascomycota, class Dothideomycetes. The family was described by Patrik Inderbitzin in 2001, and the order Jahnulales was created in 2002 to accommodate the family. The distinguishing characteristic for members of the family are the unusually wide hyphae ("widest hyphae reported in the ascomycetes") that support the spore-bearing structures, and the presence of ascomata both with and without stalks. The genus Aliquandostipe has a pantropical distribution, having been found in Central America and southeast Asia; Jahnula has a wider distribution. Sp
