Cladoniicola was introduced by Diederich (1994) to describe C. verrucosus, a hyphomycete found forming sporodochia on the thallus of the crustose lichen Placopsis lambii. This species is characterized by macronematous, mononematous, septate conidiophores, brown, verrucose, annellidic conidiogenous cells, and brown, subglobose, solitary, simple, verrucose conidia with a truncate base (Diederich 1994). Cladoniicola is a monotypic genus. Due to the absence of molecular data, its phylogenetic position remains uncertain, and it is tentatively placed within Ascomycota genera incertae sedis (Hyde et al. 2024).
Type species: Clauzadeomyces verrucosus Diederich, on Placopsis lambii.
Other accepted species: Species Fungorum – search Clauzadeomyces.
