Strigulales

Strigulales is an order of lichen-forming fungi in the class Dothideomycetes. It contains two families: Strigulaceae and Tenuitholiascaceae, with a combined total of 115 species.^[1] The order was proposed by Robert Lücking, Matthew Nelsen, and Kevin Hyde in 2013.^[2] Most species in the order are foliicolous, that is, they grow on plant leaves.
