Lichenochora is a genus of fungi in the family Phyllachoraceae. It has 44 species. All species in the genus are lichenicolous, meaning they grow parasitically on lichens. The genus was circumscribed by Josef Hafellner in 1989, with Lichenochora thallina assigned as the type species.
==Description== Lichenochora fungi form tiny, flask-shaped reproductive structures called perithecia that are typically 0.15-0.3 mm in diameter. The perithecia are embedded within small swellings or galls that they cause to form in their host lichen's body (thallus). Only the dark-coloured openings of these structures are visible on the surface.
