Chrysothrix is a genus of lichen-forming fungi in the family Chrysothricaceae.^[2] They are commonly called gold dust lichens or sulfur dust lichens,^[3]^: 253 because they are bright yellow to greenish-yellow, sometimes flecked with orange, and composed entirely of powdery soredia.^[4] Apothecia are never present in North American specimens.^[4]

They grow on bark or rocks, generally in shaded habitats.^[4] They can sometimes be mistaken for sterile specimens of Chaenotheca, which usually has pinhead apothecia on tiny stalks, or Psilolechia, which usually has small, bright yellow apothecia.^[4] Chrysothrix chlorina was traditionally used as a brown dye for wool in Scandinavia.^[5]
