Phacidiales

The order Phacidiales was introduced by Höhnel (1917). Previously this order included three families, Phacidiaceae, Tympanidaceae and Helicogoniaceae. In our phylogenetic analysis, Phacidiaceae formed a monophyletic well-supported clade sister to Thelebolales-Leotiales clade. Therefore, considering previous literature (Johnston et al. 2014, Pärtel 2016) and our phylogenetic results we include only Phacidiaceae within Phacidiales.
