Lichenicolous fungi represent a highly diverse group, with over 2,000 known species across 280 genera, reflecting a wide range of ecological strategies and relationships with their lichen hosts. As of 1981, it was estimated that there might be as many as 300 genera and 1,000 species of lichenicolous fungi. [3]

This is a list of species in the fungal genus Arthonia, which contains both lichen -forming fungi, and lichenicolous (lichen-dwelling) fungi. As of June 2023, Species Fungorum (in the Catalogue of Life) accepts 164 species of Arthonia. The Arthonia species accepted by Species Fungorum are those for which they have expressed a taxonomic opinion, and does not necessarily represent the total ...
Lichenicolous fungus – parasitic fungus that uses lichens as a host. [127] List of lichenicolous fungi; Lichens as bioindicators – lichens are sensitive to various pollutants and can be thus be used as bioindicators. [128] Lichens and air pollution – many lichens are sensitive to various forms of air pollution. [129]

A lichen (/ ˈ l aɪ k ən / LIE-kən, UK also / ˈ l ɪ tʃ ən / LI-chən) is a hybrid colony of algae or cyanobacteria living symbiotically among filaments of multiple fungi species, along with yeasts and bacteria [1] [2] embedded in the cortex or "skin", in a mutualistic relationship.
