Hafellia
Genus of lichen-forming fungi
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hafellia is a genus of lichen-forming fungi in the family Caliciaceae. The genus has a widespread distribution, especially in tropical regions.[1] The genus is named in honour of the Austrian lichenologist Josef Hafellner.[2] The genus was proposed by the German lichenologist Klaus Kalb in 1986 to contain two bark-dwelling species, formerly in genus Buellia, with callispora-type spores. These ascospores have ridged walls, and are thin walled at their tips at early states of their differentiation.[3]
