Baeomyces is a genus of lichenized fungi in the family Baeomycetaceae. [2] Members of Baeomyces are commonly called cap lichens. [3] [4] The genus was circumscribed by German mycologist Christiaan Hendrik Persoon in 1794. [5] Although Persoon did not designate a type species in his original description of the genus, Frederick Clements and Cornelius Lott Shear assigned Baeomyces byssoides as the type in 1931. [6]
As of October 2022 [update], Species Fungorum (in the Catalogue of Life) accepts 6 species of Baeomyces. [7]
