Oropogon Lopezii
''Oropogon'' is a genus of lichenised ascomycota, ascomycetes in the large family Parmeliaceae. It is a genus of roughly 40 currently accepted species. It was previously included in the family Alectoriaceae, but this group has since been subsumed into the Parmeliaceae. All members of the genus have a fruticose lichen, fruticose growth form. The most obvious synapomorphy, synapomorphic character which separates ''Oropogon'' from the rest of the family is the large brown, muriform ascospores (i.e. with transverse and longitudinal walls) that occur singly in each ascus.

The most obvious synapomorphic character which separates ''Oropogon'' from the rest of the family is the large brown, muriform ascospore An ascus (; ) is the sexual spore-bearing cell produced in ascomycete fungi. Each ascus usually contains eight ascospores (or octad), produced by meiosis followed, in most species, by a mitotic cell division. However, asci in some genera or ...s (i.e. with transverse and longitudinal walls) that occur singly in each ascus.
