Coppinsia
1998Summary
Coppinsia is a fungal genus in the family Trapeliaceae. It is a monotypic genus, containing the single species Coppinsia minutissima, a lichen. This extremely small lichen forms an almost invisible, paint-thin crust on contaminated soil and produces tiny orange-pink fruiting bodies just 0.2–0.6 mm across. It specializes in growing on heavy metal-polluted sites such as abandoned lead mines and spoil heaps, where few other lichens can survive. ...read more on Wikipedia.
