Cornicularia

Cornicularia is a genus of lichenised ascomycetes in the large family Parmeliaceae.[1] It is a monotypic genus, with a single currently accepted species, the saxicolous lichen Cornicularia normoerica.[2] This species has an erect caespitose growth form, and is sometimes referred to as the brittle lichen.

This article is about the genus of fungi. For the genus of spiders, see Walckenaeria.
