Candelariales
Candelariella coralliza
The Candelariales are a small order of ascomycetes ( Ascomycota ), which species form lichens.
Features
The Candelariales are lichen- forming fungi, their photobiont are chlorococcale green algae ( Chlorophyta ). They are predominantly nitro phil ( nitrogen- loving). The thallus is shaped differently. He is yellow to orange through Pulvinsäure and their derivatives. The fruiting bodies are the thallus seated, yellow to orange apothecia, the edge of which is clearly or indistinctly marked. The fruiting body wall is formed by densely septate, twisted hyphae. The paraphyses are mostly simple. The excipulum is translucent ( hyaline ), the hymenium is amyloid. The asci are unitunicat and the Candelaria - type: the lower part of the apical dome is amyloid, there is a wide apical cushion, there are often many spores. The ascospores are hyaline, and non-septate, rarely simple -septate.
System
The Candelariales are currently allocated to a certain subclass of the Lecanoromycetes. The order was first described in 2007, Eriksson leads the categories or in the Lecanoraceae ( Lecanorales ), from which they can be distinguished morphologically.
After Miadlikowska et al. at least include the following genera in the order corresponding to the established by Hakulinen 1954 family Candelariaceae:
- Candelaria
- Candelariella
