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]
Lepraria finkii is a type of lichen in the genus Lepraria. [1] Its colours range from a greenish-gray to a bluish-green. The organism is generally found everywhere in the world, but more commonly found in tropical areas; it can be spotted in shaded areas on tree trunks, overtaking bryophytes, in soil banks, and in dry niches.
A lichen can be described as all of the following: Life form – an entity that is alive.; Composite organism – a symbiotic life form composed of multiple partners from different biological domains, families and kingdoms, and from different phyla, classes and divisions within those domains and kingdoms.

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]
The family was circumscribed by Heinrich Gottlieb Ludwig Reichenbach in 1837. [2] Both the order and the class were proposed by Maria Prieto and Mats Wedin in 2013 after molecular phylogenetics analysis of various calicioid lichens showed that the Coniocybaceae represented an early diverging lineage in the inoperculate ascomycetes.
Dirinaria confusa exhibits foliose thalli, which are approximately pressed and loosely pressed at the tips of lobes, with a maximum diameter of up to 8 cm.The lobes display a pinnate or subpinnate lobate structure, spreading out and merging, typically flat or convex but occasionally concave towards the tips, measuring between 0.2 and 3 mm wide.
Lichinales is the sole order of ascomycete fungi in the class Lichinomycetes.It contains three families: Gloeoheppiaceae (3 genera), Lichinaceae (43 genera), and Peltulaceae (1 genus). [1]
