Scoliciosporum Pruinosum
''Scoliciosporum'' is a genus of lichens in the family Scoliciosporaceae. Taxonomy The genus was reinstated by Antonin Vězda in 1978 to contain crustose lichens with immarginate apothecia, gelatinized, branched and anastomosing paraphyses, eight-spored, usually ''Lecanora''-type ascus, asci, and hyaline, multi-septum, septate ascospores. ''Scoliciosporum'' was originally placed in the family Micareaceae by Josef Poelt in 1974. This classification was rejected after the appearance of molecular phylogenetic studies in the mid-2000s. Habitat and distribution ''Scoliciosporum'' species grow mainly on bark, stones and leaves. They occur mostly in temperate locales.

Herbarium
A herbarium (plural: herbaria) is a collection of preserved plant biological specimen, specimens and associated data used for scientific study. The specimens may be whole plants or plant parts; these will usually be in dried form mounted on a sheet of paper (called ''exsiccatum'', plur. ''exsiccata'') but, depending upon the material, may also be stored in boxes or kept in alcohol or other preservative. The specimens in a herbarium are often used as reference material in describing plant taxon, taxa. Some specimens may be Type (botany), types, some may be specimens distributed in published series called exsiccata, exsiccatae. The term herbarium is often used in mycology to describe an equivalent collection of preserved fungi, otherwise known as a fungarium. A xylarium is a herbarium specialising in specimens of wood. The term hortorium (as in the Liberty Hyde Bailey, Liberty Hyde Bailey Hortorium) has occasionally been applied to a herbarium specialising in preserving material of ...
