The Patellariaceae are a family of sac fungi that alone form the order Patellariales .

features

In contrast to most of the other families of the Dothideomycetes, the Patellariaceae have bowl-shaped fruit bodies, with at least species of the genera Hysteropeltella and Hysteropatella forming ship- shaped fruit bodies. The fruit bodies are closed when young and open when ripe. They have no stem or foot, are cup-shaped or cylindrical, sometimes with a rolled edge, and are dark in color with charcoal-like cells. The edge of the fruiting body, the excipulum, is pseudoparenchymatic , thick-walled with dark brown, isodiametric cells in the outer layers and pale to light brown cells in the inner wall and basal cell layers. The hypothecium , the tissue just below the fruit layer, is pseudoparenchymatic or prosenchymatic . The hemathecium (the tissue between the tubes ) consists of paraphyses or paraphyseal-like hyphae . They are amyloid or inamyloid. The tubes are eight-pore, bitunikat , fissitunikat (that is, the tube extends telescopically), cylindrical to club-shaped, stalked, rounded at the apex with an eye-like chamber, amyloid or inamyloid. The spores are two to three rows, where they overlap. They vary in shape from egg-shaped or club-shaped to elongated. They only have one (euseptat) or two (distoseptat) cell walls, whereby the inner cell wall is thick and the cell lumen is significantly reduced. they have one to six septa , sometimes they are wall-shaped, translucent or light brown. A minor crop form is only known from Holmiella sabina .

Way of life

The known species of Patellariaceae live saprobically on dead wood in terrestrial habitats. There may also be lichen-forming species in some genera.

Systematics and taxonomy

The Patellariaceae were already described as a family by August Karl Joseph Corda in 1838 , but the order was not described until 1986 by David Leslie Hawksworth and Ove Erik Eriksson . The type genus is Patellaria .

At the moment (as of May 2018) the following 21 genera belong to the family:
