Fulvophyton is a genus of lichen-forming fungi in the family Roccellographaceae. It has 11 species.[1][2] Fulvophyton is characterised by its crust-like thallus, which is often pale yellowish-brown in colour. This genus features a [[Glossary of lichen terms#{{biology:{1}}}|{{Biology:{1}}}]] from the green algal genus Trentepohlia and exhibits a unique arrangement of reproductive structures.
Taxonomy
The genus was circumscribed in 2011 by lichenologists Damien Ertz and Anders Tehler, as part of a molecular phylogenetic-based restructuring of the order Arthoniales. The genus encompasses species that were previously classified in the genus Sclerophyton, as proposed by Laurens Sparrius in 2004.[3] However, these species deviate from the type of that genus due to the presence of rounded to ellipsoid ascomata, which are often covered in white [[Glossary of lichen terms#{{biology:{1}}}|{{Biology:{1}}}]], and a hyaline or pale [[Glossary of lichen terms#{{biology:{1}}}|{{Biology:{1}}}]]. The type species of Fulvophyton is F. stalactinum, a lichen first described by William Nylander in 1855 (as Chiodecton stalactinum).[4]
Description
The thallus of Fulvophyton is crustose and lacks a [[Glossary of lichen terms#{{biology:{1}}}|{{Biology:{1}}}]]; it often has an algal-free zone formed by interwoven hyphae. The ascomata are [[Glossary of lichen terms#{{biology:{1}}}|{{Biology:{1}}}]] or shortly [[Glossary of lichen terms#{{biology:{1}}}|{{Biology:{1}}}]], and immersed in the thallus, ranging from 0.05 to 0.6 by 0.05–0.3 mm in size. The hymenial [[Glossary of lichen terms#{{biology:{1}}}|{{Biology:{1}}}]] is usually exposed and covered with white [[Glossary of lichen terms#{{biology:{1}}}|{{Biology:{1}}}]].[4]
The [[Glossary of lichen terms#{{biology:{1}}}|{{Biology:{1}}}]] is thin, hyaline or brown, measuring between 5–35 μm. The [[Glossary of lichen terms#{{biology:{1}}}|{{Biology:{1}}}]] is hyaline or pale brown, while the [[Glossary of lichen terms#{{biology:{1}}}|{{Biology:{1}}}]] displays a brown colouration. [[Glossary of lichen terms#{{biology:{1}}}|{{Biology:{1}}}]] are branched and anastomosing. Asci are cylindrical to [[Glossary of lichen terms#{{biology:{1}}}|{{Biology:{1}}}]] and 8-spored, measuring 60–120 by 12–25 μm.[4]
[[Glossary of lichen terms#{{biology:{1}}}|{{Biology:{1}}}]] are hyaline, fusiform or oblong, straight or slightly curved, featuring 3–7 (up to 12) [[Glossary of lichen terms#{{biology:{1}}}|{{Biology:{1}}}]]. They exhibit a macrocephalic ascospores septation pattern, measuring 20–50 by 5–9 μm, and are surrounded by a distinct gelatinous sheath. [[Glossary of lichen terms#{{biology:{1}}}|{{Biology:{1}}}]] are immersed and punctiform, appearing black. [[Glossary of lichen terms#{{biology:{1}}}|{{Biology:{1}}}]] are hyaline, [[Glossary of lichen terms#{{biology:{1}}}|{{Biology:{1}}}]], and curved, with dimensions of 12–18 by 0.8–1 μm.[4]
