Genus of lichens From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Fuscoderma is a genus of lichenized fungi in the family Pannariaceae.[1] It was originally circumscribed as a subgenus of the genus Leioderma by David Galloway and Per Magnus Jørgensen in 1987.[2] The same authors promoted it to generic status a couple of years later in 1989.[3] The New Guinean species F. papuanum was added to the genus in 2002.[4]
