Brianaria is a lichen genus in the family Psoraceae.[1] It was circumscribed in 2014 by Stefan Ekman and Måns Svensson to contain four closely related species formerly in the Micarea sylvicola group.

Description

Characteristics of the genus Brianaria include the small, convex apothecia that lack an excipulum; an ascus of the ‘Psora-type’; 0–1-septate ascospores, dimorphic paraphyses, and immersed pycnidia that contain bacilliform conidia. The photobiont is chlorococcoid, and non-micareoid.[2]

Species

  • Brianaria bauschiana (Körb.) S.Ekman & M.Svenss. (2014)
  • Brianaria lutulata (Nyl.) S.Ekman & M.Svenss. (2014)
  • Brianaria sylvicola (Flot. ex Körb.) S.Ekman & M.Svenss. (2014)
  • Brianaria tuberculata (Sommerf.) S.Ekman & M.Svenss. (2014)
