Psora is a genus of lichen-forming fungi in the family Psoraceae.[2] Members of the genus are commonly called fishscale lichens.[3][4] Lichens in the genus Psora are known to have a squamulose thallus and anthraquinones in the hymenium.[5] Photobiont partners of Psora lichens include members of the green algal genera Asterochloris, Chloroidium, Myrmecia, and Trebouxia.[6]
