Oxneria Ussuriensis
''Oxneria ussuriensis'' is a species of corticolous, crustose lichen in the family Teloschistaceae. It is found in a single location in the Russian Far East. Taxonomy The lichen was formally described as a new species in 2014 by lichenologists Sergey Kondratyuk, Soon-Ok Oh, and Jae-Seoun Hur. The type specimen was collected by the first author from a park in Kraskino (in the Khasansky District of Primorsky Krai), where he found it growing on a ''Populus'' tree. The species epithet refers to the type locality. Description ''Oxneria ussuriensis'' has a deep orange to orange-yellow rosette-like thallus that has a diameter of . The individual lobes comprising the thallus are 1.5–2 mm long, and have a width that ranges from 0.3–0.7 mm in the narrowest parts to 1 mm in the widest parts. The terminal parts of the lobes sometimes branch out to form secondary lobes or lobules. The underside of the lobes are covered with bluish-greyish soredia. Individual soredia a ...

Corticolous Lichen
A corticolous lichen is a lichen that grows on bark.Alan Silverside's Lichen Glossary (a-f), Alan Silverside/ref> This is contrasted with lignicolous lichen, which grows on wood that has had the bark stripped from it,Alan Silverside's Lichen Glossary (g-o), Alan Silverside/ref> and saxicolous lichen, which grows on rock.Alan Silverside's Lichen Glossary (p-z), Alan Silverside/ref> Examples of corticolous lichens include the crustose lichen ''Graphis plumierae'', foliose lichen ''Melanohalea subolivacea'' and the fruticose ''Bryoria fuscescens ''Bryoria fuscescens'' is a species of lichen of the family Parmeliaceae.

Apothecia
An ascocarp, or ascoma (), is the fruiting body ( sporocarp) of an ascomycete phylum fungus. It consists of very tightly interwoven hyphae and millions of embedded asci, each of which typically contains four to eight ascospores. Ascocarps are most commonly bowl-shaped (apothecia) but may take on a spherical or flask-like form that has a pore opening to release spores (perithecia) or no opening (cleistothecia). Classification The ascocarp is classified according to its placement (in ways not fundamental to the basic taxonomy). It is called ''epigeous'' if it grows above ground, as with the morels, while underground ascocarps, such as truffles, are termed ''hypogeous''. The structure enclosing the hymenium is divided into the types described below (apothecium, cleistothecium, etc.) and this character ''is'' important for the taxonomic classification of the fungus. Apothecia can be relatively large and fleshy, whereas the others are microscopic—about the size of flecks of ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Lecanora
''Lecanora'' is a genus of lichen commonly called rim lichens.Field Guide to California Lichens, Stephen Sharnoff, Yale University Press, 2014, Lichens in the genus ''Squamarina'' are also called rim lichens. Members of the genus have roughly circular fruiting discs (apothecia) with rims that have photosynthetic tissue similar to that of the nonfruiting part of the lichen body (thallus). Other lichens with apothecia having margins made of thallus-like tissue are called lecanorine. ''Lecanora'' has a crustose thallus, trebouxoid photobiont, colourless ascospores and crystals in the amphitecium. It is in the family Lecanoraceae in the suborder Lecanorineae.

Candelaria Concolor
''Candelaria concolor'', commonly known as the candleflame lichen or the lemon lichen, is an ascomycete of the genus '' Candelaria''. It is a small foliose lichen dispersed globally. Description and morphology The vegetative body, or thallus, of the lichen is foliose, and its color ranges from bright-yellow to yellow-green. Thallus is minute (less than 1cm wide), but aggregates to form extensive colonies. Lobes of the thallus are flattened and divided. Soredia are granular and are found in margins between or at the end of lobes. Apothecia are rare and minute (under 1 mm). Asci are clavate and contain over 30 ascospores. Pycnidia are much more common and are found as wart-like structures on the upper-surface of the thallus. Pycnidia are often the same color as the thallus, with darker conidia. Lower surface of the thallus is whitish-pink with white rhizines. Green modules ''Candelaria concolor'' has been used as in anatomical studies of lichen looking at green modules, ...

Caloplaca Ussuriensis
''Lazarenkoiopsis'' is a single-species fungal genus in the family Teloschistaceae. It contains ''Lazarenkoiopsis ussuriensis'', a corticolous (bark-dwelling), crustose lichen species found in the Russian Far East. Taxonomy The lichen was first described scientifically in 2011 by the lichenologists Alfred Oxner, Sergey Kondratyuk, and John Elix, as ''Caloplaca ussuriensis''. The species name is derived from the Primorsky region's historical name, the Ussuriysk region. The taxon was transferred to the newly created genus ''Lazarenkoiopsis'' in 2020; it is its type and only species. The genus name honours Andrij Sozontovych Lazarenko (1901–1979), a Ukrainian bryologist. ''Lazarenkoiopsis'' is in the subfamily Caloplacoideae of the family Teloschistaceae. Description The thallus of ''Lazarenkoiopsis ussuriensis'' is 2–3 cm wide, thick and smooth, and can be distinctly cracked with broad cracks up to 0.07 mm wide.

Morphology (biology)
Morphology is a branch of biology dealing with the study of the form and structure of organisms and their specific structural features. This includes aspects of the outward appearance (shape, structure, colour, pattern, size), i.e. external morphology (or eidonomy), as well as the form and structure of the internal parts like bones and organs, i.e. internal morphology (or anatomy). This is in contrast to physiology, which deals primarily with function. Morphology is a branch of life science dealing with the study of gross structure of an organism or taxon and its component parts. History The etymology of the word "morphology" is from the Ancient Greek (), meaning "form", and (), meaning "word, study, research". While the concept of form in biology, opposed to function, dates back to Aristotle (see Aristotle's biology), the field of morphology was developed by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1790) and independently by the German anatomist and physiologist Karl Friedrich Burdach ...
