Xanthoria is a genus of lichenized fungi in the family Teloschistaceae. [2] Common names include orange lichen, [3] orange wall lichen, [4]: 134  and sunburst lichen. [4]: 134  They can be identified by their characteristic squamulose morphology with distinctive "fairy cups".

Species

As of October 2023, Species Fungorum (in the Catalogue of Life) accepts 19 species of Xanthoria. [5]

The taxa Xanthoria coomae S.Y.Kondr. & Kärnefelt (2007) and Xanthoria polessica S.Y.Kondr. & Yatsyna (2013) were determined to be the same species as X. parietina in a 2020 publication. [7] The taxon once known as Xanthoria elegans is now Rusavskia elegans, the type species of genus Rusavskia. [8]
