  • Pilophorus

    Matchstick Lichens, Ant-mimicking plant bugs

    Pilophorus is a genus of lichenized fungi in the family Cladoniaceae, commonly known as matchstick lichens due to their distinctive upright, stalked fruiting bodies. The genus contains approximately 11 species with a widespread distribution, particularly in temperate regions. Some species occur in Arctic environments, including recently deglaciated zones. The genus name is also shared with a group of ant-mimetic plant bugs (Hemiptera: Miridae), but these are unrelated taxa.
