Rhizoplaca

Rhizoplaca is a genus of lichenized fungi in the family Lecanoraceae.[2] Members of the genus are commonly called rimmed navel lichens[3] because of their umbillicate growth form and lecanorine (rimmed with thallus-like tissue)apothecia, also rock-posy lichen and rockbright.[4][5]:118 The genus has a widespread distribution and contains 11 species.[6]
