Edvard August Vainio

Finnish botanist (1853-1929).

Edvard August Vainio (born Edvard Lang; 5 August 1853 – 14 May 1929) was a Finnish lichenologist. His early works on the lichens of Lapland, his three-volume monograph on the lichen genus Cladonia, and, in particular, his study of the classification and form and structure of lichens in Brazil, made Vainio renowned internationally in the field of lichenology. Young Vainio's friendship with university student Johan Petter Norrlin, who was nearly eleven years older, helped him develop an impressive knowledge of the local cryptogams (ferns, mosses, algae, and fungi, including lichens) and afforded

Pseudocyphellaria (Specklebelly Lichens) Vain. 1890

fungi genus in the lobariaceae family

Pseudocyphellaria is a genus of large, leafy lichens that are sometimes referred to as "specklebelly" lichens. The genus has a widespread distribution, especially in south temperate regions, and contains about 170 species. They resemble Lobaria, except that most species of Pseudocyphellaria have conspicuous pseudocyphellae on their lower surface, a characteristic that was once considered unique to this genus. Some species contain pulvinic acid-related pigments; in these species the soredia and pseudocyphellae can be bright yellow.

Cladonia didyma (Southern Soldiers) (Fée) Vain. 1887

fungi species in the cladoniaceae family

Cladonia didyma is a fruticose lichen, commonly known as southern soldiers, belonging to the family Cladoniaceae, which include fungal symbionts under the Ascomycota phylum with characteristic red ascocarps containing sexually reproductive asci. Initially named Scyphophorus didymus (Fée 1824), it was later reclassified into Cladonia didyma in 1887. Its namesake is described as deriving from the ancient Greek κλᾰ́δος (kládos) meaning 'branching' and Δίδυμος (didymus) describing 'bunched', 'clustered' or 'paired' indicative of the branched like structures characteristic of the Cladonia genus

Teloschistes exilis (Slender Orange-bush) (Michx.) Vain. 1890

fungi species in the teloschistaceae family

Teloschistes exilis is a species of corticolous (bark-dwelling), fruticose lichen in the family Teloschistaceae. It was first formally described in 1803 by French botanist André Michaux, as Physcia exilis. Finnish lichenologist Edvard Vainio transferred the taxon to the genus Teloschistes in 1890. The lichen is found in the Americas. Secondary metabolites (lichen products) that have been identified from the lichen include parietin and teloschistin. A form of the lichen described by Vilmos Kőfaragó-Gyelnik in 1938, Teloschistes exilis f. inaequalis Gyeln., has been proposed to represent a

Dermatocarpon americanum Vain. 1926

fungi species in the verrucariaceae family

Dermatocarpon americanum, the American stippleback lichen, is a silvery-gray, leafy (foliose) lichen with black dots that is common on near seeps in rock faces from southwestern North American deserts to coastal areas. It has a silvery-dusty looking coating. It is common in deserts on vertical rock surfaces that are partially shade protected near seepages. It is umbilicate, meaning it grows from a single anchoring stem called a holdfast), with a single-leaf body (thallus), which ranges in size from 1.7–6 cm. The dusty looking top silvery coating on the cortex is dead fungal filaments (hyphae)

Catinaria Vain. 1922

fungi genus in the ramalinaceae family

Catinaria is a genus of lichen-forming fungi in the family Ramalinaceae. These lichens form very thin, often barely visible crusts on bark, rock, or moss, and are recognizable by their small, round, reddish-brown to black fruiting bodies that sit flush with the surface. The genus includes eight known species, some of which grow specifically on liverworts and can behave almost like decomposer fungi.

Usnea glabrata (Lustrous Beard Lichen) (Ach.) Vain. 1915

fungi species in the parmeliaceae family

Usnea glabrata, the lustrous beard lichen, is a species of beard lichen in the family Parmeliaceae. This small, shrubby species typically grows 5–10 centimetres tall. Distinguished by its somewhat shiny surface, slender branches that taper at both ends, and the presence of powdery reproductive structures near the branch tips, this lichen primarily grows on tree bark in moderately open, humid forests throughout boreal and temperate regions of the Northern Hemisphere. U. glabrata is considered vulnerable in parts of its range due to its small size making it easy to overlook and its relatively

Rhizocarpon cinereovirens (Grayish Green Map Lichen) (Müll. Arg.) Vain. 1922

fungi species in the rhizocarpaceae family

Rhizocarpon cinereovirens is a species of saxicolous (rock-dwelling), crustose lichen in the family Rhizocarpaceae. This small lichen forms tiny white or pale grey crusts that seldom exceed a centimetre across, broken into minute plates with small black disc-shaped fruiting bodies. It grows on exposed, nutrient-poor siliceous rocks and metal-rich surfaces in both windswept mountain summits and coastal areas, and is found across the British Isles, Scandinavia, and northeastern United States. It is now confirmed from north-eastern China as well as the North Atlantic region of Europe and North

fungi species in the caliciaceae family

Pyxine philippina is a species of foliose lichen in the family Caliciaceae. It was first discovered in the Philippines, growing on tree bark in the mountainous regions of Luzon. The lichen forms a thin to moderately thick, leaf-like body with a whitish upper surface and blackish underside, anchored by short root-like structures called rhizines. Since its original description, it has been widely documented across Asia, including in Bhutan, India, Japan, Nepal, and Thailand.

fungi species in the caliciaceae family

Pyxine copelandii is a species of lichen in the family Caliciaceae. It was first discovered on the island of Panay in the Philippines, growing on the bark of broad-leaved trees, and is named in honour of American botanist Edwin Copeland. The lichen forms a thin, leaf-like body with a pale bluish-grey upper surface that is usually shiny and bears scattered, powdery reproductive structures called soredia. Since its original description, it has been documented across a wide geographic range, including Australia, Madagascar, Thailand, Fiji, the Seychelles, and several Pacific island groups.

Pterygiopsis Vain. 1890

fungi genus in the lichinaceae family

Pterygiopsis is a genus of lichen-forming fungi in the family Lichinaceae. It contains 12 species. These lichens form thin, blackish crusts that cling tightly to rock surfaces, especially in damp seepage zones or along stream margins, and develop pinpoint brown disc-like fruiting bodies on their surface. The genus is typically found in semi-aquatic to fully aquatic habitats, where the lichens lack distinct outer protective layers but have a slightly gelatinous texture when wet.
