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 in 1933 by the Finnish lichenologist Veli Räsänen; he named it as a variety of Cetraria juniperina (now Vulpicida juniperinus). Räsänen distinguished his new variety from typical C. juniperina by several features: its erect thallus with obtuse lobes , bright golden-yellow colour, reticulate-veined ...

Lichen morphology – a lichen's external appearance and structures are very different than those of its individual partners. [10] Ascocarp – the fruiting body of a lichen, which contains the asci. [11] Ascus (pl. asci) – a sexual, fungal spore-bearing structure, typically sac-like in shape. [12]
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 ]

The lichen species Cora glabrata has been reported to produce a hemagglutinating lectin [10] as well as various polysaccharides, including a unique (1→6)-linked β-D-mannan. [ 11 ] Tentative chemical analyses suggest that the newly described Dictyonema huaorani produces the psychedelic psilocybin . [ 12 ]
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.
