various classes should probably be subsumed under Lichinomycetes |

Added a swap and waiting for reviews:

At the same time I propose to remove subclass Candelariomycetidae:

I support this.
I have reviewed the article cited, by Diaz-Escandon et al., and the research looks solid to me. I do wonder why remove the subclass Candelariomycetidae, rather than move it to Lichinomycetes and make all the former classes listed into subclass.
@paulkdavis It was removed simply because it becomes redundant as no other subclasses exist as of now and the only order grafted to it would have been Candelariales. It is just taxonomic cluttering and has no use in current classification.
"Genome-level analyses resolve an ancient lineage of symbiotic ascomycetes" (https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0960982222017705) used phylogenomics and showed that Candelariomycetes, Coniocybomycetes, Geoglossomycetes, Lichinomycetes, Sareomycetes, and Xylo- nomycetes resolve as a single clade with Lichinomycetes serving as the oldest name.
