The Graphidaceae are a family of fungi in the order Ostropales. The current circumscription of Graphidaceae includes all taxa in the formerly independent families Thelotremataceae, Gomphillaceae, and Asterothyriaceae.[1][2][3]
Distribution and Ecology
Graphidaceae is believed to be the most speciose family of lichenized fungi; over 2000 species are included in the current taxonomic concept of the family, and there are likely several hundred more that are undiscovered or undescribed.[4] The vast majority of these species are restricted to the tropics.[5]
Most Graphidaceae species are epiphytic (i.e they grow only on plants). Species in several genera (Diploschistes, Gymnographopsis, and Rendonographa) are saxicolous (i.e. they grow on rock).[6]
