K. bryorum K. isidiata K. mereschkowskii K. palmulata K. pseudoroemeri K. runcinata K. stippaea Kurokawia is a genus of lichen-forming fungi in the family Physciaceae.

When dry, the upper surface has hues ranging from light to dark brown but transitions to a dull olive green when moist.

In contrast, the genus Anaptychia has typically lacked a well-formed lower cortex or possesses a poorly developed one.

[2] Endemic to various global regions, Kurokawia thrives on hard coastal rocks, on turf, soil, and occasionally on tree bark, especially along pathways.

The species Kurokawia isidiata is notably present in East Asia and extends to North America, specifically in Alaska.
