Phlyctis is a genus of fungi in the order Ostropales. Members of the genus are commonly called blemished lichens.[1][2]
The genus was circumscribed by German lichenologist Julius von Flotow in 1850.[3] The Dictionary of the Fungi (2008) estimated the widespread genus to contain 12 species,[4] but several new species have been described since then.
