About
Tetramelas pulverulentus is a species of lichenicolous (lichen-dwelling) fungus in the family Caliciaceae. Originally described from Italy in 1860, this inconspicuous fungus lives hidden within the white inner tissue (medulla) of its host lichen rather than forming a visible crust on the surface. It produces tiny black fruiting bodies that contain brown ascospores and is distinguished from related species by having spores divided into three compartments (septa).
