Hymeneliaceae is a family of lichen-forming fungi in the order Baeomycetales. It contains three genera and about 40 species. [1] The family was circumscribed by German lichenologist Gustav Wilhelm Körber in 1855. [2]
Lichens in the Hymeneliaceae are saxicolous (rock-dwelling) and crustose, occurring predominantly in the cool- temperate climates to subarctic climates of both the Northern and Southern hemispheres. [3]
