Lichenomphalia aurantiaca
2002Summary
Lichenomphalia aurantiaca is a species of agaricoid (mushroom-like) basidiolichen in the family Hygrophoraceae. It is found in Colombia. This unusual lichen produces both a minute granular thallus scattered over soil and tiny bright orange mushrooms with caps 10–15 mm across, gills, and stems that are the same vivid orange colour throughout. Originally described in 1987, it is classified as an endangered species due to its extremely limited distribution in Colombia's high-elevation páramo ecosystems....read more on Wikipedia.
