flavoparmelia caperata
The Common Greenshield Lichen is a bright green lichen that often grows on rocks and trees. It looks like a little green shield and helps make our air clean!
Hábitat: Commonly found on tree bark, rocks, and soil in forests and urban areas.
The Common Greenshield Lichen has a distinctive bright yellow-green to gray-green, shield-like thallus that can grow quite large. Its wrinkled surface often features powdery soredia near the lobe tips, giving it a somewhat bumpy texture. The edges are often slightly ruffled, setting it apart from flatter, smoother lichens.
