About Golubkovia trachyphylla (Tuck.) S.Y.Kondr., Kärnefelt, Elix, A.Thell, Jung Kim, M.H.Jeong, N.N.Yu, A.S.Kondr. & Hur
Golubkovia is a fungal genus in the family Teloschistaceae that contains only one species: Golubkovia trachyphylla. This species is a crustose, rock-dwelling placodioid lichen, meaning its thallus is made up of lobes that radiate outwards from a central point, and it has a distinct yellow-orange color. Golubkovia trachyphylla is widely distributed across Asia and North America. It grows on rocks in arid habitats, and does not have a preference for either calcareous or non-calcareous rock substrates.
