Source-derived summary

Flavoplaca granulosa is a species of crustose lichen in the family Teloschistaceae. It was originally described as a new species by Johannes Müller Argoviensis in 1862, as a member of the genus Amphiloma. After having spent time in various genera throughout its taxonomic history, it was reclassified in Flavoplaca in 2013 following a molecular phylogenetics-informed reorganization of the Teloschistaceae.

Editorial summary

The public source identifies “Flavoplaca granulosa” as species of fungus. This brief keeps that definition visible, then builds a research path around Flavoplaca, granulosa and species.

Editorial reviewA sound reference starting point where classification, measurement and the date of the underlying evidence remain visible. The current lead gives the account dated anchors—1862, 2013—that can be checked directly. The selected authority fields contribute no independent date. Its value is orientation rather than verdict, with Flavoplaca, granulosa and species providing the first useful test.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

A short description can identify a subject without explaining its stakes. For “Flavoplaca granulosa”, the useful work is to connect “species of fungus” to the records capable of establishing context and consequence.

Evidence profile

Datasets, specimens, observations and peer-reviewed methods provide the appropriate test for the technical claims summarized here. The source revision retrieved here is dated Apr 10, 2025.

Critical limits

Scientific names, classifications and consensus can change while older terminology persists in catalogues and historical literature. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
