Huriella is a genus of lichen-forming fungi in the family Teloschistaceae. It comprises five species of crustose lichens. ^[1]

Taxonomy

The genus was circumscribed in 2017 by the Ukrainian lichen Sergey Kondratyuk to accommodate Squamulea -type lichens with an areolate , rather than squamulose , thallus. The genus name honours the Korean lichenologist Jae-Seoun Hur. He assigned Huriella loekoesiana as the type (and initially only) species, ^[2] but this species has since been reclassified to Squamulea, ^[3] which some consider to be synonymous with Huriella. ^[4]

• Huriella aeruginosa B.G.Lee & Hur (2021) ^[5]
