ABSTRACT: This is the first comprehensive report of foliose genera of Physciaceae from Korea. Of the approximately 250 specimens of these lichens deposited in KoLRI, Korea, examined morphologically, 26 species in 5 genera were identified. Three species are new to Korea: Phaeophyscia hispidula, Pyxine consocians, and Pyxine copelandii. A key to all species in South Korea is followed by brief diagnoses or descriptions of all species now recorded for the country.
