Verrucariales is an order of ascomycetous fungi within the subclass Chaetothyriomycetidae of the class Eurotiomycetes. Although most of the Verrucariales are lichenised, [1] the family Sarcopyreniaceae consists of 11 species of lichenicolous (lichen-dwelling) fungi. [2]
Phylogenomic analysis suggests that the divergence between the lichenized Verrucariales and nonlichenized Chaetothyriales occurred about 131 million years ago. [3]
There are some genera in the Verrucariales that have not been placed with certainty into any family. These are: [4]
