The phylogeny of the family Pannariaceae (Lecanorales, lichenized Ascomycota) was investigated using
ITS1–5.8S–ITS2 nuclear ribosomal DNA sequences representing 21 species. Phylogenetic estimations were performed
using parsimony and a Bayesian Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) tree sampling procedure. Several phylogenetic
null hypotheses were tested, also using MCMC. The results indicate that Pannariaceae, as currently treated, is
polyphyletic and that Degelia sect. Amphiloma, Fuscopannaria …
