About
Cresponea flavosorediata is a species of lichen in the family Arthoniaceae. Described from the Brazilian Amazon in 2014, this lichen has since been recorded in several states across Brazil, where it grows on smooth tree bark in primary rainforests. The species forms extensive olive-green to olive-brown crusts on bark, with distinctive yellow-olive powdery patches for asexual reproduction and bright greenish-yellow frosted fruiting bodies when present. It can be distinguished from related species in the genus Cresponea by the color of its reproductive structures and its moderately long ascospores divided by seven to nine cross-walls.
