Myelorrhiza is a genus of two Australian species of lichenized fungi in the family Ramalinaceae.[1] It was circumscribed in 1986 by Australian lichenologists Doug Verdon and John A. Elix.[2] Myelorrhiza was originally classified in the family Cladoniaceae until Kistenich and colleagues, using molecular phylogenetic analysis, showed that it is more appropriately placed with the Ramalinaceae.[3]
