Agonimia flabelliformis is a species of corticolous (bark-dwelling) lichen in the family Verrucariaceae. Found in Europe, it was scientifically described as new to science in 2011 by Josef Halda, Paweł Czarnota, and Beata Guzow-Krzemińska. The type specimen was collected in the Gratzen Mountains (Czech Republic) at an altitude of 805 m (2,641 ft), where it was found growing on the bark of a beech tree. The thallus of the lichen consists of finger-like (dactyliform) to coral-like (coralloid) aggregations of goniocys]s (clumps of photobiont cells surrounded by fungal hyphae) that form a roundish structure. The species epithet flabelliformis refers to the fan-shaped (flabellate) form of the thallus branches.[1] In addition to Europe, the lichen has also been recorded in eastern North America and the Russian Far East.[2]
