Ramboldia is a genus of lichen-forming fungi in the family Ramboldiaceae.
The genus was circumscribed in 1994 by Gintaras Kantvilas and John Alan Elix.
[1] It was emended in 2008 by the inclusion of Pyrrhospora species containing the anthraquinone russulone in their apothecia and having a prosoplectenchymatous exciple.
[3] The genus name of Ramboldia is in honour of Gerhard Walter Rambold (b.1956), a German botanist (Lichenology and Mycology).
He was also interested in Zoology and was a professor at Munich and Bayreuth.
