Description
Sarcopyrenia is a group of lichenicolous fungi, meaning they grow on lichens. They form tiny, dark-colored structures on their host lichens. These fungi are notable for their unique spore-producing structures, which are flask-shaped and partially embedded in the host lichen's tissue. Sarcopyrenia species are widely distributed but often overlooked due to their small size.
