description Buellia griseovirens Overview

It forms a gray-green thallus and often produces soredia, powdery structures that allow the lichen to reproduce vegetatively. The species is associated with temperate habitats and is distinguished from many bark-dwelling crustose lichens by its pale coloration and sorediate surface.
