Sporormiella
Sporormiella is a genus of fungi in the phylum Ascomycota whose species can be found worldwide, including the Arctic. It grows primarily on dung but also can be found in soil and plant debris. The exact number of species is debated and can range from 60 to 80 in total depending on the source. A majority of these species are coprophilous, however, there are a few that are endophytes (S. minimoides) and saprobic.
Asterolibertia
Asterolibertia is a genus of fungi in the Asterinaceae family.
Leptosphaerulina
Leptosphaerulina is a genus of fungi in the class Dothideomycetes. The relationship of this taxon to other taxa within the class was unknown in 2007 until it was placed within the Didymellaceae family in the Pleosporales order. The genus was first described by Australian plant pathologist Daniel McAlpine in 1902.
Stagonosporopsis
Stagonosporopsis is a genus of ascomycote fungi, containing several pathogens to plants.
Leptorhaphis
Leptorhaphis is a genus of lichens in the family Naetrocymbaceae. Members of the genus are commonly called birchbark dot lichens. The genus comprises eight recognized species that are widely distributed, primarily growing on the bark of deciduous trees such as birch, aspen, and larch. Most species lack a visible thallus and are considered saprobic rather than truly lichenized, as they generally do not form a stable partnership with algae.

genus of fungi

Trypetheliopsis is a genus of lichen-forming fungi in the family Monoblastiaceae. It contains eight species. The genus grows as a thin crust on tree bark, typically in tropical and subtropical regions, and is recognised by its flask-shaped fruiting bodies that are embedded within raised, crusty structures on the lichen's surface. Species in this genus were largely forgotten by lichenologists for several decades until 2009, when researchers studying Japanese herbarium specimens "resurrected" the group by reclassifying several related lichens within it.

The genus was established in 1919 by the mycologist Franz Xaver Rudolf von Höhnel, and its classification within fungal families has been revised several times as scientists better understand its relationships. Nearly all species in the genus are specialized parasites that live on lichens rather than forming lichens themselves, often targeting specific host species. These fungi are found worldwide and are recognized by their tiny, shield-like fruiting bodies that develop on the surface of their li
