Mycobank #513143.
Diagnosis: Hybrida ut videtur inter Fellhanerae silicis et F. granulosae; thallus ut in F. granulosam et conidia ut in F. silicem. Ceterum ut in F. silicem sed pycnidiis inconspicuis non hiantibus.
Type: U.S.A. NORTH CAROLINA. Wake Co.: William B. Umstead State Park, vicinity of lower Sycamore Lake, ~1 mile southwest of Ebenezer Church, on siliceous rock in dry creek, ridges and rocky ravine with small creeks and forest varying from disturbed (Pinus, Betula, Acer) to mature (Fraxinus, Acer, Quercus), 14.i.2007, J.C. Lendemer et al. 8390 (NY, holotype; NY [ex hb. Lendemer], isotype).
Etymology: The epithet “hybrida” refers to the combination of features of two other distinct taxa in the Fellhanera silicis group, namely the blastidiate thallus of F. granulosa and the large conidia of F. silicis.
Distribution: The distribution of this species is centered in the piedmont of southeastern North America (Georgia to North Carolina)
