Tephromela atra is a crustose lichen characterized by its striking white margins and black fruiting discs, formally reclassified by Austrian botanist Josef Hafellner in 1984.
Why this score
Bold black discs with white margins create strong contrast and wide rocky distribution, earning dependable field appreciation.
Scoring methodology
Diplotomma alboatrum is a crustose lichen with a chalky white, pale gray, ochre, or pale brown thallus that is often cracked or areolate. Its small black apothecia may be covered with a whitish powder and are frequently abundant on the thallus. The species grows on calcareous and siliceous rock, bar...
Why this score
Strong black-on-white contrast and cracked mosaic texture create respectable visual appeal, despite specialist-level recognition.
Scoring methodology
Porpidia crustulata is a crustose, rock-dwelling lichen in the family Lecideaceae. It forms a thin pale-gray thallus that may be cracked or areolate and produces black apothecia, usually up to about 1.5 millimeters across. The species is associated with nutrient-poor, acidic or siliceous rocks and s...
Why this score
Reliable pioneer of siliceous rock with characteristic cracking, but subdued coloration and specialist recognition keep ratings moderate.
Scoring methodology
Lecidea fuscoatra is a crustose, rock-dwelling lichen in the family Lecideaceae and the type species of the genus Lecidea. Its areolate thallus varies from pale ochre and gray-brown to reddish brown, while its reproductive discs are black and generally lack a conspicuous thalline margin. It is chief...
Why this score
Sooty discs and exposed-rock resilience provide austere character, though low color and cultural relevance keep ratings moderate.
Scoring methodology
Sarcogyne regularis is a crustose lichen noted for its reddish-brown, often immersed apothecia on acidic rocks, first described by German botanist Gustav Wilhelm Körber in 1860.
Why this score
Embedded reddish discs and rock specialization have technical interest, but plain crust and low familiarity produce modest consensus appeal.
Scoring methodology
Catillaria nigroclavata is a bark-dwelling crustose lichen found in temperate forests, readily identified by its thin, pale thallus and numerous small, jet-black, club-shaped apothecia.
Why this score
Numerous black discs provide fine bark texture, though thin thallus, taxonomic obscurity, and limited ecological fame suppress interest.
Scoring methodology
Micarea denigrata is a crustose lichen recognized by its fragmented thallus that leaves dark, smudged marks on nutrient-poor bark, detailed by Elias Fries in 1825.
Why this score
Ecologically useful decomposing-wood colonizer, but fragmented smudged appearance and minute scale offer little visual distinction.
