Strigulaceae

Strigulaceae is a family of lichen-forming fungi, one of two families in the order Strigulales (class Dothideomycetes).^[1] Recent (2020) molecular analysis of the type genus, Strigula, has led to a reallocation of the foliicolous species into six genera that correspond to well-delimited clades with diagnostic phenotype features.^[2]
