Lahmiomyces
genus of fungi
Lahmiomyces is a genus of fungi in the Helotiales order. The relationship of this taxon to other taxa within the order is unknown (incertae sedis), and it has not yet been placed with certainty into any family. This is a monotypic genus, containing the single species Lahmiomyces piceae.
The genus name of Lahmiomyces is in honour of Johann Gottlieb Franz-Xaver Lahm (1811-1888), who was a German clergyman and botanist (Lichenology and
Mycology).
The genus of Lahmiomyces was circumscribed by Raffaele Ciferri and Ruggero Tomaselli in Ist. Bot. Univ. Lab. Crittog. Pavia Atti ser.5, vol.10 (Issue 1) on pages 39 and 66 in 1953.
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Lahmiomyces” as genus of fungi. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the science & nature register because the source frames it as genus of fungi. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
The date and method of observation matter as much as the stated conclusion, especially where classification or consensus has changed. The source revision retrieved here is dated May 18, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q6473272. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1811, 1888 and 1953.
Current terminology should not be projected backward without checking the classification used when the underlying evidence was created. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
How to read it
