Nectriopsis rubefaciens is an orange-red lichenicolous fungus, a host-specific parasitic fungus that lives on lichen.[1] It has globose reddish-brown perithecia (80–160 μm in diameter) with scattered gland-like hairs of a fine cellular texture. Paraphyses are absent and the hyaline ascospores are oblong-cylindrical, 8/ascus.[1]
