Introduction
Xanthoria aureola, commonly known as the seaside sunburst lichen, is a lichenized species of fungus in the family Teloschistaceae and phylum Ascomycota.[1] X. aureola can be recognized by its bright yellow-orange pigmentation and abundant strap-shaped lobes.[2] It is usually found growing on exposed, nutrient-rich rocks in sunny, maritime habitats.[3][4] It is largely restricted to European coasts, stretching from Portugal to Norway.[1]
Taxonomy
Xanthoria aureola was first described as Parmelia aureola in 1809; it was found on seaside rocks in Boshuslän, Sweden and named by Acharius.[2] In 1930, Erichsen transferred P. aureola to the genus Xanthoria at the species rank, resulting in the accepted binomial X. aureola.[2] However, from 1965-1984, the classification X. aureola was mistakenly applied to X. calcicola, a closely related species first described in 1937.[2] Within the genus Xanthoria, DNA sequencing has confirmed that X. aureola is most closely related to X. calcicola and more distantly related to X. parietina.[5]
