Chaenotheca is a genus of lichenized fungi within the family Coniocybaceae.{{cite journal|last=Lumbsch TH, Huhndorf SM. |date=December 2007 |title=Outline of Ascomycota – 2007 |journal=Myconet |volume=13 |pages=1–58 |url=http://archive.fieldmuseum.org/myconet/outline.asp |publisher=The Field Museum, Department of Botany |location=Chicago, USA |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20090318003134/http://www.fieldmuseum.org/myconet/outline.asp |archivedate=2009-03-18 }} The sexual reproduction structures are a mass of loose ascospores that are enclosed by a cup shaped {{lichengloss|exciple}} sitting on top of a tiny stalk, having the appearance of a dressmaker's pin (called a mazaedium), hence the common name pin lichen.Field Guide to California Lichens, Stephen Sharnoff, Yale University Press, 2014, {{ISBN|978-0-300-19500-2}}{{rp|15}} Genus members are also commonly called needle lichens.[http://plants.usda.gov/java/nameSearch USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service Name Search] {{lichengloss|Photobiont}} partners for Chaenotheca include members of the algae genera Symbiochloris, Trebouxia, Trentepohlia, and Tritostichococcus.
