Podostictina
Podostictina is a genus of lichen-forming fungi in the family Peltigeraceae, (subfamily Lobarioideae). It comprises 13 species. These are medium to large-sized lichens that typically grow on tree bark and have a distinctive yellow interior when viewed in cross-section. The genus was separated from the broader Pseudocyphellaria group in 2013 when DNA studies revealed that what was once considered a single genus actually comprised four distinct evolutionary lineages.
