About
Hypocreopsis lichenoides is part of the family Hypocreaceae and genus Hypocreopsis, a group of fungi that form ascomata on the stems of trees and shrubs. The ascomata are orange-brown and consist of radiating, perithecial lobes. It is commonly known as willow gloves due to the resemblance of the ascocarp to rubber gloves, and because it is usually found on willow trees.
