About
Gyalectidium atrosquamulatum is a species of lichen-forming fungus in the family Gomphillaceae. It is a leaf-dwelling lichen known only from montane rainforest in Kenya, where it was discovered at about 2,100 metres elevation. The species is distinguished by its distinctive dark brownish-black to black reproductive scales, which separate it from similar species in the genus that typically have paler-coloured structures.
