About
Gyalectidium kenyanum is a species of lichen 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 unusual reproductive structures that form small crater-like depressions with a ring of narrow, bristle-like segments pointing inward around greyish fungal tissue, a feature it shares only with the Central American species Gyalectidium denticulatum.
