About
Fissurina astroisidiata is a species of lichen in the family Graphidaceae. Found in Veracruz, Mexico, it was described as new to science in 2011. This lichen was the first member of its genus discovered to produce cylindrical vegetative propagules called isidia, which help it spread vegetatively without sexual reproduction. It forms pale greyish-green crusts on tree bark in shaded rainforest and produces distinctive star-shaped reproductive structures.
