Fertile Prototaxites taiti: a basal ascomycete with inoperculate, polysporous asci lacking croziers [PDF]
The affinities of Prototaxites have been debated ever since its fossils, some attaining tree-trunk proportions, were discovered in Canadian Lower Devonian rocks in 1859.

A comparative genomic analysis of lichen-forming fungi reveals new insights into fungal lifestyles
Lichen-forming fungi are mutualistic symbionts of green algae or cyanobacteria. We report the comparative analysis of six genomes of lichen-forming fungi in classes Eurotiomycetes and Lecanoromycetes to identify genomic information related to their ...

Epiphloea belongs to Collemataceae (Lecanoromycetes, lichenized Ascomycota)
AbstractThe cyanolichen genus Epiphloea is currently included within the Heppiaceae (Lichinomycetes) based on ascus characteristics. The presumed presence of a prototunicate ascus has been used as support for this classification, despite the incongruence with other characters (e.g. spores).
