Verrucariales

Clavascidium is a genus of lichens in the family Verrucariaceae. The genus was circumscribed in 1996 by Austrian lichenologist Othmar Breuss. Because the type species of the genus, Clavascidium umbrinum, has been shown using molecular phylogenetics to belong to genus Placidium, Cécile Gueidan and colleagues proposed to unite Clavascidium with Placidium in a 2009 publication. Despite this, the genus has been retained in recent publications of fungal classification.

Sporodictyon is a genus of crustose lichens in the family Verrucariaceae. It has 10 species. Most species grow on rocks, although some have been recorded overgrowing soil and mosses.

Plurisperma is a genus of fungi in the family Verrucariaceae; according to the 2007 Outline of Ascomycota, the placement in this family is uncertain. A monotypic genus, it contains the single species Plurisperma dalbergiae. The family Verrucariaceae is somewhat toxic to mammals due to the presence of vulpinic acid.

Mastodia is a genus of lichen-forming fungi in the family Verrucariaceae. It has six species.

Wahlenbergiella is a small genus of saxicolous (rock-dwelling), crustose lichens in the family Verrucariaceae. It comprises three species, all of which live in marine intertidal zones on exposed, nutrient-poor rocky shores where they get periodically immersed in seawater. Wahlenbergiella closely resembles another lichen genus that includes marine species, Hydropunctaria.
