Phyllobaeis

Phyllobaeis is a genus of lichen-forming fungi in the family Baeomycetaceae. It has six species.^[1] The genus was circumscribed by lichenologists Klaus Kalb and Claudia Gierl in 1993, with Phyllobaeis imbricata assigned as the type species.^[2] Phyllobaeis differs from Baeomyces by the production of the secondary chemical norstictic acid, as well as the tropical distribution of its species. Most species have a squamulose thallus, but the most recent addition to the genus–the Chinese species P. crustacea–has a crustose thallus.^[3]
