Candelariella is a genus of bright yellow, ocher, or greenish yellow crustose or squamulose lichens in the family Candelariaceae.[1] Members of the genus are commonly called eggyolk lichens,[2] goldspeck lichens, or yolk lichens.[3]

Characteristics[]

The key feature of Candelariella species are the distinct yellow apothecia.[3] Although all species are very small, even the smallest can be identified by the lemon-yellow to orange-yellow discs. Most species have a yellow thallus, although Candelariella antennaria is one example with a grey thallus. Some species are pycnidiate. This genus will generally have all spot tests emerge as negative, although K tests may have an orange or reddish colour on some species' apothecia.[4]

Spore count between species varies from 8 to 32 simply or thinly septate spores. Spores often hold one to two oil drops.[4]

Habitat and distribution[]

Candelariella species are found across the globe, although most commonly described in North America, Asia, and Australia. Species can be found on calcareous and non-calcareous rock, soil, tree bark, mosses, and other lichens. While some species may grow only on rock, and others only on trees, the more generalist species can be found in a variety of locations.[4]
