Tania

Tania is a genus of lichen-forming fungi in the family Roccellaceae. It comprises two species. "The genus was established in 1995 and is named after the bryologist Benito Ching Tan, who helped collect the original specimen from Mount Kinabalu. These lichens are distinguished by their unusual cotton-wool-like appearance that forms loose, fibrous crusts on tree bark, unlike the smooth surfaces typical of other lichens.
