Myeloconis is a genus of corticolous (bark-dwelling), crustose lichens in the family Porinaceae. It has four species.[1] The genus was circumscribed in 1996 by Patrick M. McCarthy and John Elix, with M. fecunda assigned as the type species. The genus name, derived from the Greek myelos ("marrow", or "pith") and konis ("dust"), refers to the powdery yellow-orange pigments in the medulla.[2]
