Megasporaceae are a family of fungi belonging to the order Pertusariales.[1] Taxa are lichenized with green algae, and grow on rocks, often in maritime climates close to fresh water.[2] Phylogenetic analysis has shown that this family is related to the Pertusariaceae, another family of lichens.[3] The genus Aspicilia was moved here from the Hymeneliaceae.[4]
Genera
Genera of this family include:
Aspicilia A.Massal. (1852) – ca. 200 spp.
Aspiciliella M.Choisy (1932) – 2 spp.
Circinaria Link (1809) – 31 spp.
Lobothallia (Clauzade & Cl.Roux) Hafellner (1991) – 17 spp.
Megaspora (Clauzade & Cl.Roux) Hafellner & V.Wirth (1987) – 4 spp.
Oxneriaria S.Y.Kondr. & Lőkös (2017)[5] – 9 spp.
Sagedia Ach. (1809) – 12 spp.
