Taxonomy

Bryoria was circumscribed in 1977 by lichenologists Irwin Brodo and David Hawksworth, with Bryoria trichodes as the type species.[2]

Description

Bryoria species are fruticose, slender and hair-like, tending to grow hanging (pendent) or like a small bush. They range in colour from dark brown to pale greyish brown to grey in some species. Ascospores are colourless, ellipsoid, numbering eight per ascus.[3]

Other hair-like lichens that may be confused with Bryoria include dark brown species of Bryocaulon, Nodobryoria, Pseudephebe, Alectoria, or Cetraria.[3]

Habitat and distribution

Found almost exclusively on conifers, or on tundra soil,[3] Bryoria collectively has a widespread distribution, especially in boreal and cool temperate areas.[4]

gollark: Unrelatedly, it seems that the BBC runs a TV show which looks like the SCP Foundation but aimed at young children and teaching basic maths? Weurd.
gollark: I'm aware.
gollark: you.
