About
Tetramelas phaeophysciae is a species of lichen-forming fungus in the family Caliciaceae. It is a lichenicolous (lichen-dwelling) species that grows on other lichens, primarily Phaeophyscia and Physcia species on rocks. Found in arctic to subalpine climates, records are documented from Scandinavia, Greenland, Iceland, and parts of central and northern Asia. The species was described in 2005 after DNA evidence showed it was distinct from the closely related Tetramelas pulverulentus.
