    Thalli are much thinner in shady locations than in those exposed to full sunshine; this has the effect of protecting the algae that cannot tolerate high light intensities. The lichen pigment parietin gives this species a deep yellow or orange-red color. [6] Xanthoria parietina prefers growing on bark and wood; it is found more rarely on rock. [5]

  3. Leucocoprinus birnbaumii - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leucocoprinus_birnbaumii

    The yellow color of the mushrooms is from alkaloids known as birnbaumins. Birnbaumin B is the major compound and has a formula C 16 H 20 N 6 O 5 whilst birnbaumin A has one less oxygen atom. Extraction methods used to isolate these compounds also yield L-tryptophan, a common amino acid which helps build proteins. [51]

    The plant reproduces from seed, but very rarely. The seeds do not disperse well and seedlings do not survive in large numbers. A narrow range of temperature and moisture is required for the reproduction of this species, so it is sporadic, but the plants are hardy and long-lived. Coleogyne ramosissima produces stenophyllanin A, an ellagitannin. [6]
