Wetmoreana
''Wetmoreana'' is a genus of lichen-forming fungi in the family Teloschistaceae. It has two crustose, saxicolous (rock-dwelling) species. Taxonomy The genus was circumscribed in 2013 by Ulf Arup, Ulrik Søchting, and Patrik Frödén, with ''Wetmoreana texana'' assigned as the type species. The genus name honours lichenologist Clifford Wetmore, "in appreciation of his major contributions to the knowledge of the North American Teloschistaceae". Three species were included in the original circumscription of the genus, but two of them have since been transferred to the genus ''Fulgogasparrea''. ''Wetmoreana tenax'' was transferred to the genus in 2013 (from ''Xanthoria''), but later (2020) moved to the genus '' Massjukiella''. Description Both species of ''Wetmoreana'' are either squamulose or crustose with distinct . The thallus often forms asexual propagules, such as , isidia, or soredia. If apothecia are present, they are orange with a form. Ascospores are with septa that are ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

''Wetmoreana'' is a genus of lichen-forming fungi in the family Teloschistaceae. It has two crustose lichen, crustose, saxicolous lichen, saxicolous (rock-dwelling) species.

Wetmoreana Brouardii
''Wetmoreana brouardii'' is a species of saxicolous (rock-dwelling), crustose lichen in the family Teloschistaceae. Taxonomy It was first formally described as a new species in 1914 by French lichenologist Maurice Bouly de Lesdain, who classified it in the genus '' Placodium''. In 1931, Alexander Zahlbruckner transferred it to ''Caloplaca'', and it was known as a member of that genus for almost a century. In the 2000s several molecular phylogenetics studies showed that the large genus ''Caloplaca'' was polyphyletic, and several smaller genera were circumscribed to more appropriately reflect phylogenetic relationships in the Teloschistaceae. In 2015, Sergey Kondratyuk and colleagues proposed to move ''Caloplaca brouardii'' to the genus ''Fulgogasparrea''. Katrina Wilk and Ulrik Søchting transferred it to the genus ''Wetmoreana'' in 2020. Habitat and distribution The lichen is widely distributed, having been found in Africa, North America, and South America (including the Gal ...

Fulgogasparrea Appressa
''Fulgogasparrea appressa'' is a species of saxicolous (rock-dwelling), crustose lichen in the family Teloschistaceae. It has a widespread distribution in western Mexico, including Baja California. It is characterized by its vibrant colors, unique shape, and specific habitat preferences. Taxonomy ''Caloplaca appressa'' was scientifically described as a member of the genus ''Caloplaca'' by lichenologists Clifford Wetmore and Ingvar Kärnefelt in 1998. Ulf Arup and colleagues transferred it to the genus '' Wetmoreana'' in 2013, as part of a molecular phylogenetics-directed restructuring of the family Teloschistaceae. It was finally moved to genus ''Fulgogasparrea'' in 2015. The species epithet ''appressa'' alludes to the tightly nature of its thallus to the rock . The type specimen for this species was discovered in Sonora, Mexico, specifically 72 miles east of Hermosillo on the road to Sahuaripa, situated in a thorn forest on rhyolite (a silica-rich volcanic rock) at an elevati ...

Fulgogasparrea Decipioides
''Fulgogasparrea decipioides'' is a species of lichen in the family Teloschistaceae. It is found in Gangwon Province, South Korea. This species was originally described in 2011by Ulf Arup as a member of the large genus ''Caloplaca''. The specific epithet ''decipioides'' refers to its similarity with '' Caloplaca decipiens.'' Arup and colleagues transferred it to genus ''Wetmoreana'' in 2013, before it was again transferred to ''Fulgogasparrea'' that same year, a genus in which it is the type species In zoological nomenclature, a type species (''species typica'') is the species name with which the name of a genus or subgenus is considered to be permanently taxonomically associated, i.e., the species that contains the biological type specimen ....

Teloschistaceae
The Teloschistaceae are a large family of mostly lichen-forming fungi belonging to the class Lecanoromycetes in the division Ascomycota. The family, estimated to contain over 1800 species, was extensively revised in 2013, including the creation or resurrection of 31 genera. It contains three subfamilies: Xanthorioideae, Caloplacoideae, and Teloschistoideae. A fourth subfamily, Brownlielloideae, proposed in 2015, has been shown to be part of the Teloschistoideae. Genera This is a list of the genera contained within the Teloschistaceae, based on a 2020 review and summary of ascomycete classification.

Fulgogasparrea
''Fulgogasparrea'' is a genus of crustose lichens in the subfamily Xanthorioideae of the family Teloschistaceae. It has five species. The genus was circumscription (taxonomy), circumscribed in 2013, with ''Fulgogasparrea decipioides'' assigned as the type species; this lichen had originally been species description, formally described as a species of ''Caloplaca'', and then a couple of years later transferred to ''Wetmoreana''. Six are credited with authorship of the genus: Sergey Kondratyuk, Jeong Min-hye, Ingvar Kärnefelt, John Alan Elix, Arne Thell, and Jae-Seoun Hur. The genus name alludes to the resemblance of the type species with both of the Teloschistaceae genera ''Fulgensia'' (subfamily Caloplacoideae) and ''Gasparrinia'' (subfamily Xanthorioideae).

Taxa Described In 2013
In biology, a taxon (back-formation from ''taxonomy''; plural taxa) is a group of one or more populations of an organism or organisms seen by taxonomists to form a unit. Although neither is required, a taxon is usually known by a particular name and given a particular ranking, especially if and when it is accepted or becomes established. It is very common, however, for taxonomists to remain at odds over what belongs to a taxon and the criteria used for inclusion. If a taxon is given a formal scientific name, its use is then governed by one of the nomenclature codes specifying which scientific name is correct for a particular grouping. Initial attempts at classifying and ordering organisms (plants and animals) were set forth in Carl Linnaeus's system in ''Systema Naturae'', 10th edition (1758), as well as an unpublished work by Bernard and Antoine Laurent de Jussieu. The idea of a unit-based system of biological classification was first made widely available in 1805 in the intro ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Index Fungorum
''Index Fungorum'' is an international project to index all formal names ( scientific names) in the fungus kingdom. the project is based at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, one of three partners along with Landcare Research and the Institute of Microbiology, Chinese Academy of Sciences. It is somewhat comparable to the International Plant Names Index (IPNI), in which the Royal Botanic Gardens is also involved. A difference is that where IPNI does not indicate correct names, the ''Index Fungorum'' does indicate the status of a name. In the returns from the search page a currently correct name is indicated in green, while others are in blue (a few, aberrant usages of names are indicated in red). All names are linked to pages giving the correct name, with lists of synonyms. ''Index Fungorum'' is one of three nomenclatural repositories recognized by the Nomenclature Committee for Fungi; the others are ''MycoBank'' and ''Fungal Names''. Current names in ''Index Fungorum'' (''Speci ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
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] |
