Chrysothrix is a genus of lichen-forming fungi in the family Chrysothricaceae.[2] They are commonly called gold dust lichens or sulfur dust lichens,[3]:253 because they are bright yellow to greenish-yellow, sometimes flecked with orange, and composed entirely of powdery soredia.[4] Apothecia are never present in North American specimens.[4]

They grow on bark or rocks, generally in shaded habitats.[4] They can sometimes be mistaken for sterile specimens of Chaenotheca, which usually has pinhead apothecia on tiny stalks, or Psilolechia, which usually has small, bright yellow apothecia.[4] Chrysothrix chlorina was traditionally used as a brown dye for wool in Scandinavia.[5]

Taxonomy

The genus was circumscribed by French botanist Camille Montagne in 1852, with Chrysothrix noli-tangere assigned as the type species.[6]
