The L. subfusca -group, containing the generic type L. subfusca , can be considered the “core group” of Lecanora and is characterized by lecanorine, usually sessile apothecia with pale to deep reddish brown, rarely ± blackened, epruinose discs. The thalline exciple contains either characteristic large crystals that are insoluble in K and/or small crystals usually soluble in K. The thallus is granular to rimose or areolate with a white or pale to dark grey, rarely greenish or ± yellowish green ( L. queenslandica -group) surface. All species of the group have filiform conidia. Ten of the twelve species occurring on Galapagos produce atranorin as major substance and the other two produce usnic acid.
