Order Lepidostromatales B.P. Hodk. & Lücking

[basidiolichens]

This is a small group of recently clarified basidio-lichens. They differ from related orders by having a clavarioid fruitbody with a lichenized basal thallus (squamules). The associated algal type (photobiont) is chlorococcoid rather than the coccomyxoid type of Multiclavula (Cantharellales).
