Sulzbacheromyces bicolor is a species of basidiolichen in the family Lepidostromataceae.[1] It occurs in Yunnan, China.
Sulzbacheromyces bicolor was formally described as a new species in 2017 by Dong Liu, Li-Song Wang, and Bernard Goffinet. It is most closely related to S. fossicolus, from which it can be distinguished by its two-toned colouration and the presence of a silvery-white coating (called a prothallus) on its crust-like body. The species also has specialised fungal connections called clamp connections in its cellular structure, which S. fossicolus lacks.[2]
Molecular phylogenetics analysis has shown that Sulzbacheromyces bicolor forms a clade with other Asian species of Sulzbacheromyces, including S. fossicolus, and S. sinensis, and S. yunnanensis.[3]
