About
Lecidella fuliginea is a bark-dwelling crustose lichen in the family Lecanoraceae. It forms pale greenish patches on tree bark in montane rainforest in southeastern Brazil. The species is distinguished by small, round to slightly lobed fruiting bodies (apothecia) with purplish-brown to black discs, violet pigmentation in the tissues, and a distinctive xanthone. It was formally described in 2022 from material collected in the Santuário do Caraça region of Minas Gerais state at 1,200 to 1,400 m elevation. It remains known only from Brazil.
