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. It is in the family Lecanoraceae in the suborder Lecanorineae. Description ''Lecanora'' has a crustose thallus, photobiont, colourless ascospores and crystals in the amphothecium. Swiss lichenologist Rosmarie Honegger used electron microscopy in the late 1970s to investigate ascus structure in several major groups of lichen-forming fungi. She defined the ''Lecanora''-type ascus as one characterized by several distinctive features: (1) a non- amyloid, clear ascus wall that is encased in ...

Lecanoraceae
The Lecanoraceae are a family of lichen A lichen ( , ) is a hybrid colony (biology), colony of algae or cyanobacteria living symbiotically among hypha, filaments of multiple fungus species, along with yeasts and bacteria embedded in the cortex or "skin", in a mutualism (biology), m ...ized fungi in the order Lecanorales. Species of this family have a widespread distribution. Taxonomy Lecanoraceae was circumscribed by German lichenologist Gustav Wilhelm Körber in 1855. Genera According to a 2024 estimate, Lecanoraceae contains about 715 species distributed amongst 26 genera. *'' Adelolecia'' – 4 spp. *'' Ameliella'' – 2 spp. *'' Bryodina'' – 2 spp. *'' Bryonora'' – 11 spp. *'' Cladidium'' – 2 spp. *'' Claurouxia'' – 1 sp. *'' Clauzadeana'' – 1 sp. *'' Edrudia'' – 1 sp. *'' Frutidella'' – 3 sp. *'' Glaucomaria'' – 8 spp. *'' Huea'' – 25 spp. *'' Japewia'' – 3 spp. *'' Japewiella'' – 7 spp. *'' Lecanora'' – 550 spp. * ...

Lecanora Strobilina
''Lecanora strobilina'', also known as the mealy rim lichen, is a species of crustose lichen in the family Lecanoraceae. It was originally described as ''Parmelia strobilina'' by German botanist Kurt Polycarp Joachim Sprengel in 1827. It is distributed across North America and the Mediterranean The Mediterranean Sea ( ) is a sea connected to the Atlantic Ocean, surrounded by the Mediterranean basin and almost completely enclosed by land: on the east by the Levant in West Asia, on the north by Anatolia in West Asia and Southern ... but has become established in South America and the Galapagos. It can be distinguished from other closely-related species in the genus (including '' L. confusa'') by the presence of the polyphenolic compound decarboxysquamatic acid in thin-layer chromatography (TLC).

Lecanora Muralis
''Lecanora muralis'' ''(Protoparmeliopsis muralis)'' is a waxy-looking, pale yellowish-green crustose lichen, crustose lichen that usually grows in rosette (botany), rosettes radiating from a center (placoidiod, placodioid) filled with disc-like yellowish-tan fruiting bodies (apothecia).Field Guide to California Lichens, Stephen Sharnoff, Yale University Press, 2014, , page 279 It grows all over the world.Lichen Flora of the Greater Sonoran Desert Region. Vol 2, Nash, T.H., Ryan, B.D., Gries, C., Bugartz, F., (eds.) 2001./ref> It is extremely variable in its characteristics as a single taxon, and may represent a complex of species. The fruiting body parts have rims of tissue similar to that of the main nonfruiting body (thallus), which is called being lecanorine. It is paler and greener than ''Lecanora mellea, L. mellea'', and more yellow than ''Lecanora sierra, L. sierrae''. In California, it may be the most common member of the ''Lecanora'' genus found growing on rocks (saxicolou ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
