Illosporiopsis christiansenii is a species of fungus which parasitizes lichen which is found in Europe and North America.[1][2] It was previously described as Hobsonia christiansenii.
Description
Illosporiopsis christiansenii can be identified by its bright pink conidia, approximately 0.5 - 1 mm across and 0.2 - 2 mm high[3], which contrast strongly with the lichen it parasitizes.[4] It is only known to reproduce asexually.[3]
Range
Illosporiopsis christiansenii is found throughout Europe and North America.[1]
Habitat
Illosporiopsis christiansenii parasitizes lichen, including Parmelia, Physcia and Xanthoria.[4]
