See text Endococcus is a genus of lichenicolous (lichen-dwelling) in the family Lichenotheliaceae.

[1] The genus was circumscribed by the Finnish botanist William Nylander in 1855.

[2] Although at least one source places the genus in the Verrucariaceae, a 2016 study of the type species, Endococcus rugulosus, determined that it should instead be placed in the family Lichenotheliaceae of the order Dothideales;[3] this classification echoes a placement proposed in 1979 by David Hawksworth.
