Ertzia [2] [3] is a monospecific genus in the family Lepidostromataceae (the only family within the fungal order Lepidostromatales). [4] The sole species is Ertzia akagerae. The genus was circumscribed in 2014 by Brendan Hodkinson and Robert Lücking. Ertzia is distinguished from all other lichenized clavarioid fungi ( Multiclavula ( Cantharellales), Lepidostroma ( Lepidostromatales), and Sulzbacheromyces ( Lepidostromatales)) by having a microsquamulose thallus that forms contiguous glomerules (reminiscent of a ' Botrydina-type' thallus) with a cortex of jigsaw puzzle-shaped cells. [2] Ertzia akagerae grows on soil in the African tropics.
