Arthoniomycetes

Arthoniomycetes
	Arthonia radiata magnified 9X, growing on Red Oak bark
Scientific classification
Domain:	Eukaryota
Kingdom:	Fungi
Division:	Ascomycota
Subdivision:	Pezizomycotina
(unranked):	Leotiomyceta
(unranked):	Dothideomyceta
Class:	Arthoniomycetes; O.E.Erikss. & Winka (1997)
Orders
	Arthoniales; Lichenostigmatales;

Arthoniomycetes are a class of ascomycete fungi. It includes two orders: Arthoniales and Lichenostigmatales.^[2] Most of the taxa in these orders are tropical and subtropical lichens.

Systematics

Phylogenetic analysis supports the monophyly of this class.^[3] Dothideomycetes is a sister group.^[4]

Characteristics

Taxa have apothecia, cup- or saucer- shaped ascoma in which the hymenium is exposed at maturity. These apothecia are bitunicate - with clearly differentiated inner and outer walls.
