Arthonia agelastica is a lichenicolous fungus that parasitises Lecanora louisianae. Infection by the fungus causes bleaching or discolouration, or (less often) no obvious effect on the host. Some other lichenicolous fungi recorded on L. louisianae include Skyttea lecanorae, Chaenothecopsis kalbii, and Taeniolella delicata.[2]
