Umbilicariales genera

Lasallia is a genus of lichen-forming fungi in the family Umbilicariaceae. These lichens are recognizable by their distinctive warty, blister-covered thallus surface and their unusual attachment to rocks using only a single, sturdy central connection point. They typically grow on granite and other hard rock surfaces, where they can survive in both sunny and shaded locations. The genus contains six accepted species that are found across various continents, with some species being quite common on stone walls and cliff faces.

Fuscidea is a genus of crustose lichens in the family Fuscideaceae. It has about 40 species. The genus was established in 1972 by Volkmar Wirth and Antonín Vězda, with its name derived from the Latin for 'brown', referring to the typical colouration of these lichens. Species of Fuscidea grow almost exclusively on acidic, silica-rich rocks, favouring steep faces in humid, high-rainfall regions such as Atlantic coastlines and mountain ranges. They form cracked or patchy crusts that spread over a characteristically dark underlying margin, often creating mosaic-like patterns where neighbouring col

Ropalospora is a genus of lichen-forming fungi, and the sole member of the monogeneric family Ropalosporaceae. The genus was circumscribed by Italian lichenologist Abramo Bartolommeo Massalongo in 1860. The family was proposed by Josef Hafellner in 1984.

Xylopsora is a genus of lichen-forming fungi, belonging to the family Umbilicariaceae. The genus was established in 2013 when genetic studies showed that several scale-forming () lichens previously grouped together were not actually closely related. Species of Xylopsora typically grow on wood, especially old or fire-scarred timber, in forests of the Northern Hemisphere. The genus includes four recognized species, some of which were only recently discovered growing high in tree canopies or detected through environmental DNA techniques.

Orphniospora is a small genus of lichen-forming fungi in the family Fuscideaceae. The genus was established in 1874 by the German lichenologist Gustav Wilhelm Körber and comprises three saxicolous (rock-dwelling) crustose species. These lichens are distinguished by their unusual spores, which are nearly spherical, single-celled, and produced only a few at a time in each spore-bearing structure. Despite being placed in the family Fuscideaceae in recent classifications, molecular studies have shown that Orphniospora does not actually belong to this family, leaving its correct taxonomic position

Hypocenomyce is a genus of lichen-forming fungi in the family Ophioparmaceae. Species in the genus grow on bark and on wood, especially on burned tree stumps and trunks in coniferous forest. Hypocenomyce lichens are widely distributed in the northern hemisphere.

Ophioparma is a genus of crustose lichens in the family Ophioparmaceae.
