Crocynia pyxinoides

Phyllopsora pyxinoides is a species of corticolous (bark-dwelling), lichen-forming fungus in the family Ramalinaceae. It was first described by William Nylander in 1891 from Cuban material, originally under the name Crocynia pyxinoides, and was transferred to Phyllopsora in 2018. The lichen forms whitish to blue-grey crusts with a black underside and produces small, dark, convex fruiting bodies. It is widely distributed in the tropics and subtropics, with records from the Americas, South and Southeast Asia.
