Skyttea

Skyttea is a genus of lichenicolous (lichen-dwelling) fungi in the family Cordieritidaceae. The genus was circumscribed in 1981 by lichenologists Martha Allen Sherwood, David L. Hawksworth, and Brian J. Coppins, with Skyttea nitschkei assigned as the type species.

The genus name Skyttea honours Mogens Skytte Christiansen (1918–1996), a Danish botanist (interested in microbiology, mycology and lichenology), and also a botanical illustrator.
