Letharia vulpina, commonly known as the wolf lichen (although the species name vulpina, from vulpine relates to the fox), is a fruticose lichenized species of fungus in the family Parmeliaceae. It is bright yellow-green, shrubby and highly branched, and grows on the bark of living and dead conifers in parts of western and continental Europe and the Pacific Northwest and northern Rocky Mountains of North America. This species is somewhat toxic to mammals due to the yellow pigment vulpinic acid, and has been used historically as a poison for wolves and foxes. It has also been used traditionally

Acarospora stapfiana, the hoary cobblestone lichen, is a lichenicolous (lichen-dwelling) lichen species in the family Acarosporaceae. It is known for its parasitic relationship with members of the genus Caloplaca. The species has a unique life cycle in which it starts as a juvenile non-lichenised fungus before forming a fully lichenised thallus. It is found in Asia and North America, where it grows on calcareous rocks.

Parmelia submutata is a species of corticolous (bark-dwelling) foliose lichen in the family Parmeliaceae. Described from Yunnan, China in 1899, this lichen has since been found across high-elevation regions of Asia, including Taiwan and Nepal, where it grows on tree bark in pine–Rhododendron forests at high elevations. The species forms greenish-grey growths typically 8–12 cm across and is characterized by its shiny surface that becomes finely cracked with age, numerous small pale pores, and densely branched root-like structures on the black undersurface—features that help distinguish it from

Anomomorpha is a genus of lichens in the family Graphidaceae. The genus, described in 1891, has a pantropical distribution. These lichens form pale grey to dull olive crusts on tree bark that often develop low wart-like bumps covered with powdery particles, and produce narrow, usually wavy slit-like fruiting bodies. They are found in tropical rainforests worldwide, growing on shaded to semi-exposed bark in primary or lightly disturbed evergreen forests, with some species being narrowly restricted to specific mountain cloud forests.

Polycauliona coralloides, the coral firedot lichen, is a species of small fruticose (bushy), saxicolous (rock-dwelling) lichen in the family Teloschistaceae. First formally described in 1866, it was later shuffled to a few different genera in its taxonomic history before ending up in Polycauliona, a genus resurrected from taxonomic obscurity in the molecular phylogenetics era. The lichen occurs on seaside rocks in the intertidal spray zone of California and northwestern Mexico. The species is readily recognized due to its distinctive coral-like form–its thallus grows as a tangle of orange,

Lecanora xylophila is a crustose lichen in the family Lecanoraceae, first described by Auguste-Marie Hue in 1915.
