Buellia is a genus of mostly lichen-forming fungi in the family Caliciaceae. The fungi are usually part of a crustose lichen.[2] In this case, the lichen species is given the same name as the fungus. But members may also grow as parasites on lichens (lichenicolous).[2] The algae in the lichen (the photobiont partner) is always a member of the genus Trebouxia.[2]
Lichens in the genus are commonly called disc lichens,[3] or button lichens.[4]: 229 The genus has a widespread distribution and contains about 450 species.[5]
Genetic studies indicate that the genus Amandinea and Buellia may be the same,[6] although this is not widely accepted.[7]
