Reichlingia is a genus of lichen-forming fungi in the family Arthoniaceae. It has seven species.[1] The genus was originally circumscribed by Paul Diederich and Christoph Scheidegger in 1996, with Reichlingia leopoldii as the type, and at that time, only species.[2] The fungus was at first thought to be a lichenicolous (lichen-dwelling) fungus, but is now considered a lichenised hyphomycete.[3]
