Lecidea perlatolica
Lecidea perlatolica is a species of saxicolous (rock-dwelling) crustose lichen in the family Lecideaceae. It occurs in the southwestern United States and is named after perlatolic acid, the main lichen product it makes. This lichen grows on acidic rocks in mountain and subalpine areas, typically at elevations between 1,830 and 3,350 m (6,000 and 11,000 ft). The species forms small, brownish, tile-like patches on rock surfaces and has been found in California, Nevada, and Utah.
