The Arthoniomycetes are a class of the hose fungi . They are often lichens or live as saprobionts on plants. Some also live parasitically. The mostly crust-like lichens they form with green algae .

features

They usually form apothecia . Sometimes these are also closed and then have an elongated, pore-shaped opening. The peridia is thick or thin-walled. The intermediate asci tissue ( hemathecium ) consists of branched paraphyses in a gel-like matrix. The tubes are thick-walled and turn bluish with iodine . The ascospores are septate or unseptate, sometimes brown. As a minor crop , they form pycnidia . The algae partner is in most cases a representative of the Trentepohliaceae , only in the family Chrysotrichaceae and very few representatives of Arthonia there are also photobionts of the Chlorococcales .

Representatives of the order Lichenostigmatales are very different compared to the much larger order of the Arthoniales . They form rounded, dark-colored cells, grow like yeast by sprouting. Only the tubes, the ascospores and the conidiogenic cells are not rounded. The spores are septate. Mycelial growth was very rarely observed.

Way of life and distribution

Arthoniales are mainly lichen builders. But there are also saprobe and parasitic species. They are widespread worldwide from arctic regions to the tropics, from humid forests to arid ecosystems. Lichenostigmatales grow on other lichens (lichenicol) or on rock.

Systematics

For a long time, only the order Arthoniales belonged to the class of Arthoniomycetes with four families, some of which were very generic, and some genera of uncertain allocation:

In 2014 the order of the Lichenostigmatales was described and recognized as a sister order of the Arthoniales, so that the class of Arthoniomycetes is no longer monotypical . The Melaspilaceae are now placed in their own order, the Eremithallales. At the moment (as of October 2018) only the following orders and families belong to the class:
