Phyllobathelium is a genus of lichen-forming fungi in the family Strigulaceae.[2][3] It comprises eight species of foliicolous (leaf-dwelling, crustose lichens.
The Swiss lichenologist Johannes Müller Argoviensis first proposed Phyllobathelium in 1883 as a section of the genus Bathelium.[4] He promoted it to full genus status in 1890.[5]
