Gregorella Explained

Gregorella is a genus of lichenized fungi in the family Arctomiaceae. This is a monotypic genus, containing the single species Gregorella humida.

The genus name of Gregorella is in honour of Dieter Gregor Zimmermann (b.1942), a German musician and (amateur) Lichenologist. "The new genus is described in honour of Dieter Gregor Zimmermann (Düsseldorf) who first introduced HTL to this fascinating lichen in the field."[1]
