Ramonia
Sign in to saveRamonia is a genus of lichen-forming fungi in the family Gyalectaceae. Species form thin crusts on bark or rock and partner with the green alga Trentepohlia as their photosynthetic partner. They are recognized by their distinctive urn-shaped apothecia (fruiting bodies), whose inrolled rims nearly close over the spore-producing surface, leaving only a small central pore. About 22 species are accepted, found mainly in tropical and temperate regions.
