Nipponoparmelia is a small genus of five foliose lichens in the family Parmeliaceae. It was proposed by Syo Kurokawa in 1994 as a subgenus of Parmelia and raised to generic rank in 2010 as part of a molecular work that recovered a monophyletic East Asian clade distinct from Parmelia sensu stricto; N. laevior is the type species. Species share grey to brownish thalli with minute, point-like pseudocyphellae on the lobe margins, which are tiny aeration pores limited to the edges rather than the main thallus surface. They also have a black lower surface with simple to sparsely forked rhizines,

Sporodophoron is a genus of lichen-forming fungi in the family Arthoniaceae. It includes four corticolous (bark-dwelling) crustose lichen species. Sporodophoron is uniquely characterised by the formation of fruiting structures called sporodochia, which are open conidiomata in the form of tufts of conidiophores on the thallus. Although these lichens bear a strong resemblance to Inoderma, another genus within the same family, Sporodophoron's distinct chemical makeup sets it apart from its lichen relatives. Collectively, the genus has a widespread geographical distribution in the Northern

Nipponoparmelia pseudolaevior is a species of foliose lichen in the family Parmeliaceae. Originally described from Japan in 1951, this East Asian lichen is characterised by its narrow, overlapping lobes fringed with dense, finger-like isidia and a grey, tightly attached thallus. It grows mainly on tree bark in mixed forests in Japan, South Korea, and the southern Russian Far East, where it favours relatively open, moist microsites, often along streams.

Nipponoparmelia laevior is a species of foliose lichen in the family Parmeliaceae. Originally described from Japan in 1890 as Parmelia laevior, this lichen was transferred to the newly established genus Nipponoparmelia in 2010 following molecular studies that revealed it belonged to a distinct East Asian evolutionary lineage, and it now serves as the type species for this genus. The species has been recorded from Japan, Taiwan, China, and across the southern Russian Far East, where it grows as an epiphyte on the bark of conifer and broad-leaved trees in mixed forests. It forms pale greenish

Nipponoparmelia isidioclada is a species of foliose lichen in the family Parmeliaceae. Originally described from Japan in 1921 as Parmelia isidioclada, this lichen was transferred to the genus Nipponoparmelia in 2010 following molecular studies that revealed its placement within an East Asian evolutionary lineage distinct from true Parmelia species. The species has been recorded from Japan, China, Taiwan, the Philippines, and the Russian Far East, where it grows as an epiphyte on the bark of conifer and broad-leaved trees in mixed forests.

Sporodophoron primorskiense is a little-known species of corticolous (bark-dwelling) lichen in the family Arthoniaceae. It is notable for its distinctive white, thin growth patterns and small sporodochia, or spore-producing structures. The species is named after the Primorsky Krai region in the Russian Far East, where it was first discovered. It has since been recorded in Japan.
