Cercidospora epipolytropa is a species of lichenicolous fungus in the genus Cercidospora but it has not been assigned to a family. [2] It is known to parasitise the crustose lichen Lecanora polytropa . [3] The fungus was first formally described by mycologist William Mudd in 1861. Ferdinand Christian Gustav Arnold transferred it to Cercidospora in 1874. [4]

<i>Ptychographa</i> Single-species lichen genus

Ptychographa is a genus of lichenized fungi in the family Xylographaceae. It is a monotypic genus, containing the single species Ptychographa xylographoides. Both the species and genus were described as new in 1874 by Finnish botanist William Nylander.

Norrlinia is a genus of two species of fungi in the family Verrucariaceae. The genus was circumscribed by Ferdinand Theissen and Hans Sydow in 1918. The genus name honours the Finnish botanist Johan Petter Norrlin. Both species are lichenicolous, meaning they parasitise lichens. The host of both fungi is the foliose genus Peltigera.

<i>Psoroglaena</i> Genus of fungi

Cercidospora thamnoliicola is a species of lichenicolous fungus in the genus Cercidospora but it has not been assigned to a family. It is known to parasitise the lichen Thamnolia vermicularis in Iceland but it is rare there. The species was first formally described by mycologist Per G.

Cercidospora soror is a species of lichenicolous fungus in the genus Cercidospora but it has not been assigned to a family. It was discovered growing on Arthrorhaphis citrinella in Austria but has since then also been reported from Greenland, where it infects Arthrorhaphis alpina and Arthrorhaphis citrinella.

<i>Solorina crocea</i> Species of lichen

Solorina crocea, commonly known as the orange chocolate chip lichen, is a species of terricolous (ground-dwelling) and foliose (leafy) lichen in the family Peltigeraceae. The lichen, which was first formally described by Carl Linnaeus in 1753, has an arctic–alpine and circumpolar distribution and occurs in Asia, Europe, North America, and New Zealand. It generally grows on the bare ground in sandy soils, often in moist soil near snow patches or seepage areas. Although several forms and varieties of the lichen have been proposed in its history, these are not considered to have any independent taxonomic significance.
