Straminella

S. bullata S. burgaziae S. conizaeoides S. conizelloides S. densa S. maheui S. varia Straminella is a genus of lichen-forming fungi in the family Lecanoraceae.

[2] Straminella was originally proposed by the French lichenologist Maurice Choisy in 1929 as a new genus with Lecanora varia as its type species, which he distinguished by its yellow thallus.

It was resurrected through modern molecular phylogenetics studies, which confirmed it as a distinct monophyletic group within the Rhizoplaca–Protoparmeliopsis sensu lato clade of the family Lecanoraceae.

[5] The resurrection of Straminella as a separate genus was also supported by Josef Hafellner in 1984,[6] though it wasn't widely adopted until molecular evidence confirmed its distinctness.

[4] While some species' placements within the genus are confirmed through molecular data, others still require genetic analysis to verify their taxonomic position.
