Candelariella is a genus of bright yellow, ocher, or greenish yellow crustose or squamulose lichens in the family Candelariaceae.[1] Members of the genus are commonly called eggyolk lichens,[2] goldspeck lichens, or yolk lichens.[3] The genus was circumscribed in 1894 by Swiss lichenologist Johannes Müller Argoviensis, with Candelariella vitellina assigned as the type species.[4]
