Olegblumia is a monotypic fungal genus in the family Teloschistaceae.[2] It contains the single species Olegblumia demissa, a saxicolous (rock-dwelling) crustose lichen.
Taxonomy
Genus Olegblumia was first circumscribed in 2015 by lichenologists Sergey Kondratyuk, Laszlo Lőkös, and Jae-Seoun Hur.[3] However, the name was not validly published according to the rules of botanical nomenclature as set out in the International Code of Nomenclature for algae, fungi, and plants.[4] The name was validly published by the same authors in 2020.[5] The genus name honours Ukrainian lichenologist Oleg Blum.[4] In molecular phylogenetic analysis, Olegblumia is a sister group to the genus Usnochroma.[5]
Description
Genus Olegblumia is characterized by a [[Glossary of lichen terms#{{biology:{1}}}|{{Biology:{1}}}]] thallus that typically forms a distinct, rosette-like shape. The colour of the upper surface of the lichen ranges from brown to brownish-grey. Its [[Glossary of lichen terms#{{biology:{1}}}|{{Biology:{1}}}]] are flat to slightly convex and are quite narrow. Soralia, the reproductive structures where [[Glossary of lichen terms#{{biology:{1}}}|{{Biology:{1}}}]] are produced, are found on the [[Glossary of lichen terms#{{biology:{1}}}|{{Biology:{1}}}]] surface and are noteworthy for their convex shape and highly uplifted soredious mass, which bears a brownish hue. The soredia themselves are irregularly rounded with a colouration that varies from brown to brownish-green. Chemically, Olegblumia contains the lichen products vicanicin and caloploicin.[3]
Habitat and distribution
Found in Europe and North America, Olegblumia demissa grows on siliceous rocks, typically on vertical and inclined surfaces. Aspicilia contorta is a frequent lichen associate.[3]
