Dermatocarpon is a genus of fungi in the family Verrucariaceae.[1]
Members of the genus are commonly called stippleback lichens because they have fruiting structures called perithecia that are flask shaped structures embedded in the nonfruiting body (thallus), with a hole in the top to release spores, causing an appearance of being covered with small bblack dots.[2]:35
