Alyxoria cyanea
Alyxoria cyanea is a species of saxicolous (rock-dwelling), crustose lichen in the family Lecanographaceae. Alyxoria and Alyxoria cyanea are Arthoniomycetes.
See Alyxoria and Alyxoria cyanea
Alyxoria varia
Alyxoria varia is a widely distributed species of corticolous (bark-dwelling), crustose lichen in the family Lecanographaceae. Alyxoria and Alyxoria varia are Arthoniomycetes.
See Alyxoria and Alyxoria varia
Alyxoria viridipruinosa
Alyxoria viridipruinosa is a species of corticolous (bark-dwelling) and lignicolous (wood-dwelling) lichen in the family Lecanographaceae. Alyxoria and Alyxoria viridipruinosa are Arthoniomycetes.
See Alyxoria and Alyxoria viridipruinosa
Alyxoria wainioi
Alyxoria wainioi is a species of lichen in the family Lecanographaceae. Alyxoria and Alyxoria wainioi are Arthoniomycetes and Arthoniomycetes stubs.

Cosmopolitan distribution
In biogeography, a cosmopolitan distribution is the range of a taxon that extends across most or all of the surface of the Earth, in appropriate habitats; most cosmopolitan species are known to be highly adaptable to a range of climatic and environmental conditions, though this is not always so.

Erik Acharius
Erik Acharius (10 October 1757 – 14 August 1819) was a Swedish botanist who pioneered the taxonomy of lichens and is known as the "father of lichenology".

Fungus
A fungus (fungi or funguses) is any member of the group of eukaryotic organisms that includes microorganisms such as yeasts and molds, as well as the more familiar mushrooms.
Genus
Genus (genera) is a taxonomic rank above species and below family as used in the biological classification of living and fossil organisms as well as viruses.
Lecanographaceae
Lecanographaceae is a family of mostly lichens (also some lichenicolous fungi) in the order Arthoniales. Alyxoria and Lecanographaceae are Arthoniomycetes and Arthoniomycetes stubs.
See Alyxoria and Lecanographaceae
Lichen
A lichen is a symbiosis of algae or cyanobacteria living among filaments of multiple fungi species, along with a yeast embedded in the cortex or "skin", in a mutualistic relationship.
Samuel Frederick Gray
Samuel Frederick Gray (10 December 1766 – 12 April 1828) was a British botanist, mycologist, and pharmacologist.
