Arctomiaceae

Arctomia Gabura Gregorella Steinera Wawea The Arctomiaceae are a family of lichenized fungi in the Ascomycota, class Baeomycetales.

[1] The family was named by Theodor Magnus Fries in 1861, with Arctomia as the type genus.

[3] The order Arctomiales was proposed by Soili Stenroos, Jolanta Miadlikowska, and François Lutzoni in 2014 to contain this family.

[5] In a subsequent review of the use of this method for biological classification of lichens, Robert Lücking considered this merge justified.

[6] This synonymy was also accepted in later compilations of fungal classification, and Arctomiaceae is classified in the order Baeomycetales.
