Resembling or relating to alectoria lichen, having the appearance or characteristics of horsehair lichen.
From alectoria plus Greek '-oid' (resembling), literally meaning 'lichen-like' or 'in the manner of alectoria.'
The '-oid' suffix is a lazy scientist's best friend—instead of describing every hair-like feature, you just say 'alectorioid' and everyone knows what you mean, from DNA strands to filamentary structures.
