Xanthomendoza is a genus of small, bright orange foliose lichens with lecanorine apothecia. It is in the family Teloschistaceae.[1] Members of the genus are commonly called sunburst lichens or orange lichens because of their bright orange color.[2]: 130
Members of Xanthomendoza were formerly classified in the genus Xanthoria, but Xanthomendoza members have rhizenes or scattered holdfasts, while Xanthoria do not, and they have different conidia.[2]
Lichen spot tests on the upper cortex are K+ purple, KC−, C−, and P−.[2]
