Marchandiomyces is a genus of fungi in the family Corticiaceae. [1]
Marchandiomyces is named in honour of Louis (Ludwig) Marchand (1807-1843), who was a Luxembourger veterinarian, mycologist, lichenologist, and author. [2]
Marchandiomyces corallinus is a lichenicolous species especially found on lichens of the genus Parmelia. [3] Other species are lignicolous, forming inconspicuous, effused basidiocarps (fruit bodies) on wood. [4]
