Myriolecis
Myriolecis is a genus of lichen-forming fungi in the family Lecanoraceae. These lichens typically form thin, crust-like patches on rocks, bark, or soil, and reproduce through small disc-shaped structures that contain spores. The genus was reinstated in recent years when DNA studies showed that these species form a distinct group separate from the closely related genus Lecanora. Phylogenetic studies place Myriolecis in the MPRPS clade of Lecanoraceae, close to Protoparmeliopsis.
