Sigridea labyrinthica

Species of lichen

Sigridea labyrinthica is a species of lichenicolous (lichen-dwelling) fungus in the family Arthoniaceae. Discovered on the Pacific coast of Chile, it was formally described as a new species in 2003 by Gerhard Follman, who first classified it in the genus Plectocarpon. Damien Ertz and Paul Diederich transferred it to the genus Sigridea in 2005. The holotype was collected at Punta Caraumilla, Bahia Laguna Verde, southwest of Valparaíso, on September 15, 1968, by Otto Zöllner Schorr. The fungus grows specifically on the thallus of Roccella portentosa, a fruticose lichen commonly found along the rocky Pacific coast. The species epithet labyrinthicum refers to the maze-like appearance of its gall-forming ascomata.
