T. galapagoense T. gibsonii T. hibernicum T. moderatum T. protrudens T. rufescens T. stalactiticum Tylophoron is a genus of lichen-forming fungi in the family Arthoniaceae.

[4] In 2013, Damien Ertz and colleagues showed through molecular analysis that the genus Sporodochiolichen, proposed by André Aptroot and Harrie Sipman in 2011,[5] should be reduced to synonymy with Tylophoron.

The type species of Sporodochiolichen (S. lecanoricus) was demonstrated to be conspecific with Tylophoron hibernicum, despite initial descriptions suggesting different photobiont partners.

[2] Tylophoron is a genus of crustose lichens that typically appear as thin, often powdery or slightly felt-like patches spread across their substrate.

[6] Another form of reproduction involves sporodochia—small, rounded or dome-shaped structures that can range in colour from pale creamy yellow to black, appearing singly or in small clusters.
