Teloschistes chrysophthalmus, sometimes referred to as the gold-eye lichen or golden-eye, is a fruticose lichen with branching lobes. Their sexual structures, apothecia, are bright-orange with spiny projections (cilia) situated around the rim. [2] [3] [4]
The lichen was first formally described as a new species by the Swedish lichenologist Erik Acharius in 1799. [3] He classified it in the eponymous genus Lichen, which was standard at the time. In 1803 he transferred it to the genus Parmelia. [4] Ernst Stizenberger transferred it to the genus Anzia in 1862. [5]
Acarospora thelococcoides is a pruinose (dusty whitish) verruculose (warty) crustose lichen that grows in patches up to 10 cm across that grows on soil (terricolous), especially soils made from decomposed granite. [1]: 220 [2] It grows from San Benito, California to Baja California, and inland to 930 metres (3,050 ft). [2]
It has wide distribution, and many common names such as common orange lichen, yellow scale, [2] maritime sunburst lichen and shore lichen. It can be found near the shore on rocks or walls (hence the epithet parietina meaning "on walls"), [ 3 ] and also on inland rocks, walls, or tree bark. [ 4 ]
In North America, one vernacular name for the lichen is pink bull's-eye lichen. [ 4 ] Placopsis lambii is distinguished by its placodioid thallus that features deeply notched and radiating edge lobes , a glossy upper surface, typically dark and somewhat rounded soralia , and non-lobate cephalodia that may be absent in certain samples.
Basidiolichen mycobionts consist of 172 known species (0.9% of the total number of accepted lichen species) across 15 genera, 5 families, and 5 orders within the class Agaricomycetes in the fungal division Basidiomycota. [1] The majority of described basidiolichen mycobionts belong to the genus Cora, followed by the genera Dictyonema and ...
Thus the present name "Lithosiini" used to refer to only a subgroup of the entire lichen moth group (Lithosiinae), but now it refers to the entire group. The systematics of the Lithosiini are in need of revision. For example, the proposed subtribes Afridina, Cisthenina, Endrosina and Eudesmina require validation and delimitation of content. The ...
Zwackhiomyces echinulatus is a species of lichenicolous (lichen-dwelling) fungus in the family Xanthopyreniaceae. [1] Thus fungus exclusively colonises the lichen species Physconia distorta . This fungus is notable for specific structural features that distinguish it from other members of its genus, and for its niche habitat found only in ...
