Scytinium
Scytinium is a genus of lichen-forming fungi in the family Collemataceae. It has 49 species. These lichens are typically found on basic rocks, soil, and trees, occasionally in association with mosses. In its revised sense, Scytinium includes crustose, squamulose or small foliose jelly-lichens with thalli (lichen bodies) usually only a few millimetres to a few centimetres across. Despite the morphological and ecological diversity within Scytinium, its species share similar ascospore features, such as shape and septation, as well as a small to medium-sized thallus with at least a partial cortex.
