Verrucaria Sandstedei
''Verrucaria'' is a genus of lichenized (lichen-forming) fungi in the family Verrucariaceae. Taxonomy The genus was circumscribed by German botanist Heinrich Adolph Schrader in 1794, with '' Verrucaria rupestris'' assigned as the type species. In his brief diagnosis of the genus, Schrader mentioned the more or less spherical (''subglobose''), closed ascomata, and the crustose thallus. The genus name is derived from the Latin word ''verruca'' (meaning "wart") and the suffix ''-aria'' (meaning "belonging to" or "possession"). Ecology As of 2015, there were 16 ''Verrucaria'' species classified as marine species: '' V. adguttata'', '' V. allantoidea'', '' V. ceuthocarpa'', '' V. corallensi'', '' V. ditmarsica'', '' V. erichsenii'', '' V. halizoa'', '' V. halochlora'', '' V. microsporoides'', '' V. paulula'', '' V. psychrophila'', '' V. sandstedei'', '' V. serpuloides'', '' V. sessilis'', '' V. subdiscreta ...

Verrucaria Nigrescens
''Verrucaria nigrescens'' is a widespread species of crustose lichen in the family Verrucariaceae. First described by Christiaan Hendrik Persoon in 1795, it has maintained its original name despite accumulating many synonym (taxonomy), synonyms over its complex taxonomic history. The species is characterised by its dark-brown, (cracked into small polygonal segments) thallus, and commonly colonisation (biology), colonises stone surfaces, especially limestone. Due to its dark pigmentation, ''V. nigrescens'' significantly absorbs sunlight, elevating temperatures on the rock surfaces it inhabits. This contributes to stone deterioration, posing challenges for conservation of historical monuments and buildings, and has prompted research into specialised control methods such as laser cleaning. Taxonomy It was first species description, formally described as a new species by Christiaan Hendrik Persoon in 1795. Despite a long and varied taxonomic history during which numerous syn ...

Verrucaria Ahtii
''Verrucaria ahtii'' is a species of saxicolous (rock-dwelling) crustose lichen in the family Verrucariaceae. It is found in Finland, Lithuania, Russia, and Switzerland, where it occurs on calcareous pebbles. Taxonomy The lichen was formally described as a new species in 2017 by Juha Pykälä, Annina Launis, and Leena Myllys. The type specimen was collected by the first author in Lohja (Southwest Finland) on a high road bank northwest of a lime processing factory; there it was found growing on a pebbles that may have been enriched by calcium-rich dust. The species epithet honours Finnish lichenologist Teuvo Ahti, "for his major contributions to lichenology". The type specimen is kept in the collections of the mycological herbaria of the Botanical Museum of the Finnish Museum of Natural History. Molecular phylogenetic analysis of DNA sequences from the internal transcribed spacer regions shows that ''Verrucaria ahtii'' is closely related to '' V. vitikainenii''. Desc ...

Verrucaria Serpuloides
''Verrucaria serpuloides'' is a species of saxicolous (rock-dwelling), crustose lichen belonging to the family Verrucariaceae. It is native to the Antarctic Peninsula. It is one of only two permanently submerged species of lichen, the other being '' Hydrothyria venosa'', and the only one found permanently submerged in a marine environment. Collections of the species were first made in 1944 by Elke Mackenzie. The species has been discovered living up to below mean high tide. It creates jet-black patches on the base of submerged rocks. It uses green algae The green algae (: green alga) are a group of chlorophyll-containing autotrophic eukaryotes consisting of the phylum Prasinodermophyta and its unnamed sister group that contains the Chlorophyta and Charophyta/ Streptophyta.
