Lepraria is a genus of leprose crustose lichens that grows on its substrate like patches of granular, caked up, mealy dust grains.[2][3] Members of the genus are commonly called dust lichens.[3]: 305 [4][5] The main vegetative body (thallus) is made of patches of soredia (little balls of algae wrapped in fungus).[3] There are no known mechanisms for sexual reproduction, yet members of the genus continue to speciate.[2][3] Some species can form marginal lobes and appear squamulose.[3]

Taxonomy[]

Lepraria was circumscribed in 1803 by Swedish lichenologist Erik Acharius.[6] Jack Laundon assigned Lepraria incana as the type species of the genus in 1992.[7] It is in the family Stereocaulaceae.[8]
