Lecanora expallens

description Lecanora expallens Overview

Lecanora expallens is a crustose, bark-growing lichen in the genus Lecanora. Its thallus is usually yellow-green and granular or cracked, while small yellow to lemon-colored soralia produce farinose soredia that can merge into a continuous sorediate crust. The species is recorded widely in temperate Europe and is useful to lichen observers who identify corticolous lichens by thallus color, soralia, and chemistry.
