Description
Hertelidea is a genus of crustose lichens. These lichens typically grow on bark or wood in temperate and boreal forests. They form thin, crust-like growths that closely adhere to their substrate. Hertelidea species are characterized by their small, dark fruiting bodies and the presence of specific lichen substances. Some members of this genus can be found in both Northern and Southern Hemispheres.
