Genus of fungi
Ainoa is a genus of lichens in the family Baeomycetaceae. The genus contains two species: "A. mooreana", and the type, "A. geochroa". The genus was circumscribed in 2001 by H. Thorsten Lumbsch and Imke Schmitt to contain the two species, which were formerly placed in genus "Trapelia". A third species, "Ainoa bella" from eastern North America, was added to the genus in 2015.
The genus name of "Ainoa" is in honour of Aino Marjatta Henssen (1925–2011), who was a German lichenologist and systematist.
