Honegger, R 1983: The ascus apex in lichenized fungi IV. Baeomyces and Icmadophila in comparison with Cladonia (Lecanorales) and the non-lichenized Leotia (Helotiales). - Lichenologist15: 57-71.

Abstract: 7 figures. ["Besides the distinct differences in ascus structure and function, cytological divergences were noted between the Baeomycetaceae and Leotia on the one hand, and Cladoniaceae on the other." The author supports the transfer of the Baeomycetaceae to the Helotiales from the Lecanorales as a "... consistent step towards a natural classification."]
