Frigidopyrenia is a fungal genus in the family Xanthopyreniaceae.[2] It is a monotypic genus, containing the single species Frigidopyrenia bryospila, a subarctic crustose lichen.[3] This lichen was originally described by Finnish lichenologist William Nylander in 1864 as Verrucaria bryospila.[4] It was shuffled to several genera in its taxonomic history before Martin Grube circumscribed Frigidopyrenia in 2005 to contain it. As of 2017, no molecular sequence data was available for Frigidopyrenia.[5]
