Minutoexcipula

Minutoexcipula is a genus of lichenicolous (lichen-dwelling) fungi of uncertain familial placement in the order Chaetothyriales. It has eight species. The genus was circumscribed in 1994 by M.

The genus is characterized both by its black convex -like, as well as the well-differentiated on these structures.
