Rhizocarpon ozsoyae is a species of saxicolous (rock-dwelling), crustose lichen in the family Rhizocarpaceae.[1] Found on Antarctica's James Ross Island, it was formally described as a new species in 2022. Rhizocarpon ozsoyae is distinguished from other species within the Rhizocarpon geographicum group primarily by its predominantly smaller, single-septum ascospores. Additionally, it is unique among nearly all species in the group due to its production of norstictic acid.[2]
