Sporastatia Toensbergia Sporastatiaceae is a small family of crustose lichens in the order Rhizocarpales.

[1] Sporastatiaceae was circumscribed in 2013 by Mika Bendiksby and Ernst Timdal.

[2] Characteristics of species in family Sporastatiaceae include a crustose (crust-like) thallus with unicellular green algae as the photobiont partner, and lacking cephalodia.

The apothecia are lecideine; this means they have a black exciple and blackish disc with a dark epihymenium.

The ascus is narrowly club-shaped (clavate), containing several spores; it has a well-developed, deeply amyloid tholus (a thickened inner part of the apex).
