Lecanora Muralis
''Lecanora muralis'' ''(Protoparmeliopsis muralis)'' is a waxy-looking, pale yellowish-green crustose lichen, crustose lichen that usually grows in rosette (botany), rosettes radiating from a center (placoidiod, placodioid) filled with disc-like yellowish-tan fruiting bodies (apothecia).Field Guide to California Lichens, Stephen Sharnoff, Yale University Press, 2014, , page 279 It grows all over the world.Lichen Flora of the Greater Sonoran Desert Region. Vol 2, Nash, T.H., Ryan, B.D., Gries, C., Bugartz, F., (eds.) 2001./ref> It is extremely variable in its characteristics as a single taxon, and may represent a complex of species. The fruiting body parts have rims of tissue similar to that of the main nonfruiting body (thallus), which is called being lecanorine. It is paler and greener than ''Lecanora mellea, L. mellea'', and more yellow than ''Lecanora sierra, L. sierrae''. In California, it may be the most common member of the ''Lecanora'' genus found growing on rocks (saxicolou ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Psilolechiaceae
''Psilolechia'' is a genus of four species of crustose lichens. It is the only member of Psilolechiaceae, a family (biology), family that was created in 2014 to contain this genus. Taxonomy The genus ''Psilolechia'' was established by Abramo Bartolommeo Massalongo in 1860. Formerly classified in the family Pilocarpaceae, molecular phylogenetic analysis showed that ''Psilolechia'' represented a distinct Lineage (evolution), lineage that deserved placement at the familial level, the Psilolechiaceae, which was formally circumscription (taxonomy), circumscribed in 2014. This arrangement was accepted in later large-scale updates of fungal classification. Psilolechiaceae is in the order Lecanorales, in the suborder Sphaerophorineae, which also includes the families Pilocarpaceae, Psoraceae, and Ramalinaceae. Description Psilolechiaceae is a monogeneric family of crustose lichens with effuse, ecorticate (lacking a cortex (botany), cortex), wikt:leprose, leprose thalli formed by goniocys ...

Botryolepraria
''Botryolepraria'' is a genus of saxicolous (rock-dwelling), byssoid (cottony) lichens of uncertain familial placement in the order Verrucariales. It has two species. Both species grow in damp conditions, such as on cave walls, particularly in areas with minimal light. Taxonomy The genus was circumscribed by Antonio Canals, Mariona Hernández-Mariné, Antonio Gómez-Bolea, and Xavier Llimona in 1997, as a segregate of genus ''Lepraria'', with the widespread and common lichen '' B. lesdainii'' as the type, and at that time, only species. The type specimen was collected by French lichenologist Maurice Bouly de Lesdain from a wall in Les Baraques (Calais, France). The genus name combines the Greek-derived ''botryon'' ("cluster of berries", referring to the microscopic shrub-like clusters of fungal hyphae and spherical algal cells) with its namesake genus, ''Lepraria''. Although some later authors did not accept the proposed genus as different from ''Lepraria'', later molecul ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Schistophoron
''Schistophoron'' is a genus of lichen-forming fungi in the family Graphidaceae. It comprises five species. Established in 1876 by the Scottish naturalist James Stirton, these unusual lichens grow exclusively on the undersides of living leaves in tropical rainforests, forming thin grey-green crusts with small slit-like fruiting structures. Found across the tropics from the Americas to Africa and Southeast Asia, they serve as indicators of undisturbed forest conditions due to their sensitivity to canopy opening and changes in humidity. Taxonomy The genus was circumscribed in 1876 by the Scottish physician and naturalist James Stirton. In his original description, Stirton characterised ''Schistophoron'' by its pale grey, powdery thallus and distinctive wart-like apothecia (fruiting bodies) that are initially enclosed and whitish-mealy. He noted that while the genus is allied to '' Tylophoron'', it is distinct in its elongated thread-like apothecia and spore constitution, bear ...

Lichenosticta
''Lichenosticta'' is a genus of fungi of uncertain familial placement in the order Lecanorales. It has five species. All species are lichenicolous, meaning they are parasitic on lichens.

Incertae Sedis
or is a term used for a taxonomy (biology), taxonomic group where its broader relationships are unknown or undefined. Alternatively, such groups are frequently referred to as "enigmatic taxa". In the system of open nomenclature, uncertainty at specific taxonomic levels is indicated by (of uncertain family), (of uncertain suborder), (of uncertain order) and similar terms. Examples * The fossil plant ''Paradinandra, Paradinandra suecica'' could not be assigned to any family, but was placed ''incertae sedis'' within the order Ericales when described in 2001. * The fossil ''Gluteus minimus (fossil), Gluteus minimus'', described in 1975, could not be assigned to any known animal phylum. The genus is therefore ''incertae sedis'' within the kingdom Animalia. * While it was unclear to which order the New World vultures (family Cathartidae) should be assigned, they were placed in Aves ''incertae sedis''. It was later agreed to place them in a separate order, Cathartiformes. * Boc ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Tephromelataceae
The Tephromelataceae are a family of lichenized fungi in the order Lecanorales. The family was circumscribed by Austrian lichenologist Josef Hafellner in 1984. Tephromelataceae comprises the genera '' Tephromela'', '' Calvitimela'', '' Mycoblastus'' and '' Violella'', which together constitute a well-supported monophyletic group. Taxonomy The family Mycoblastaceae, proposed by the German lichenologist Josef Hafellner to contain the genus ''Mycoblastus'', was also published in the same 1984 publication; it was later placed into synonymy with Tephromelataceae. The latter name takes precedence because of its first adopted use. Description Tephromelataceae lichens typically form a crustose (crust-like) thallus. They mostly engage in a symbiotic relationship with green algae, specifically from the genus ''Trebouxia'', to form lichenised structures; instances of them living on other lichens ( lichenicolous) are rare. The reproductive structures of Tephromelataceae lichens, called a ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Squamarinaceae
The Cladoniaceae are a family of lichen-forming fungi in the order Lecanorales, comprising about 560 species distributed amongst 18 genera. This family is one of the largest among lichen-forming fungi and is globally distributed, from Arctic tundra to tropical rainforests, favouring humid environments while being intolerant of arid conditions. Molecular phylogenetics has significantly advanced the understanding of their complex taxonomic history, revealing intricate evolutionary relationships and leading to a refined classification. Notable members include reindeer moss and cup lichens of the genus '' Cladonia'', which consist of about 500 species and forms a significant part of the diet for large mammals in taiga and tundra ecosystems. A distinctive feature of many Cladoniaceae species is their dimorphic thallus: a scaly or crust-like form and a (shrub-like) secondary form known as a podetium or . These lichens typically grow on soil, decaying wood, or tree trunks, with a ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Sphaerophoraceae
The Sphaerophoraceae are a family (biology), family of lichen-forming fungi in the order (biology), order Lecanorales. Species of this family have a widespread distribution, especially in southern temperate regions, with particular diversity in cool temperate rainforests and highly oceanic areas of both hemispheres. The family, which was proposed by Elias Magnus Fries in 1831, is characterised by its distinctive boundary tissue that separates generative and vegetative parts, and includes species with various lichen growth forms, growth forms ranging from shrub-like (fruticose lichen, fruticose) to crusty (crustose lichen, crustose). Most members produce , specialised spore-dispersing structures typically found at branch tips, though some genera have different reproductive strategies. The family contains seven genera and 39 species, with members producing characteristic secondary metabolites such as sphaerophorin. While traditionally defined by fruticose growth forms and mazaedial ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
