Description
Trypetheliaceae is a family of lichen-forming fungi. They are often found growing on tree bark in tropical and subtropical regions. These lichens typically form thin crusts on their substrate and are characterized by their distinctive fruiting bodies, which are small, flask-shaped structures embedded in the lichen thallus. Some species in this family produce unique chemical compounds that may have potential medicinal applications.
