Sarcogyne is a genus of crustose lichens in the family Acarosporaceae.[2] It was circumscribed by German botanist Julius von Flotow in 1850. A proposal has been put forth in 2021 to assign Sarcogyne clavus as the type species of the genus, "as it represents the original concept of Sarcogyne as having melanized lecideine apothecia without algae in the margin".[3]
As of November 2021, Species Fungorum accepts 26 species of Sarcogyne.[4]
