The Acarosporaceae are a family of fungi in the order Acarosporales. Members of this family have a widespread distribution, and are lichenized with green algae.^[1] According to a 2008 estimate, the family contains 11 genera and 183 species.^[2]

Phylogeny

Formerly classified in the fungal order Lecanorales, phylogenetic analyses in 1998 showed that the Acarosporaceae belong outside this order;^[3] further analysis supported this conclusion.^[4]
