Genera

This is a list of the genera contained within the Physciaceae, based on a 2020 review and summary of ascomycete classification.^[2] Following the genus name is the taxonomic authority, year of publication, and the number of species:

Anaptychia Körb. (1848) – about 15 spp.
Coscinocladium Kunze (1846) – 2 spp.
Heterodermia Trevis. (1868) – about 90 spp.
Hyperphyscia Müll.Arg. (1894) – 9 spp.
Kashiwadia S.Y.Kondr., Lőkös & Hur (2014) – 1 sp.
Leucodermia Kalb (2015) – 10 spp.
Mischoblastia A.Massal. (1852) – 3 spp.
Mobergia H.Mayrhofer & Sheard (1992) – 1 sp.
Oxnerella S.Y.Kondr., Lőkös & Hur (2014) – 1 spp.
Phaeophyscia Mob. (1977) – 66 spp.
Phaeorrhiza H.Mayrhofer & Poelt (1979) – 2 spp.
Physcia (Schreb.) Michaux (1803) – about 80 spp.
Physciella Essl. (1986) – 4 spp.
Physconia Poelt (1965) – about 25 spp.
Polyblastidium Kalb (2015) – 18 spp.
Rinodina (Ach.) Gray (1821) – about 300 spp
Rinodinella H.Mayrhofer & Poelt (1978) – 6 spp.
Tornabea Østh. (1980) – 1 spp.

The genus Culbersonia, previously classified in the Physciaceae due to its morphological features, has been shown with molecular phylogenetics to belong to the Caliciaceae.^[3]
