Summary

Epilichen is a small genus of lichen-forming fungi in the family Rhizocarpaceae.

They reproduce through black, disc-shaped fruiting bodies that contain distinctive brown spores with a "doughnut ring" appearance, and can eventually take over the space occupied by their host lichen once it dies. ...read more on Wikipedia.
