Punctelia borreri is a species of foliose lichen in the family Parmeliaceae. It is a common and widely distributed species, occurring in tropical, subtropical, and temperate regions of Africa, Asia, Europe, North America, Oceania, and South America. The lichen typically grows on bark of deciduous trees, and less commonly on rock. Some European countries have reported increases in the geographic range or regional frequency of the lichen in recent decades, attributed alternatively to a reduction of atmospheric sulphur dioxide levels or an increase in temperatures resulting from climate change.

Chaenotheca ferruginea commonly known as the rusty stubble lichen, is a species of lichenized fungus that grows on willow tree bark as well as other sources of wood. This lichen species was originally discovered in the United Kingdom. However, there have since been many observations across the world, including in the United States, Europe, and in Australia. This species was originally described within the genus Calicium but has since been placed into the genus Chaenotheca.

Buellia griseovirens (a type of button lichen) is a species of lichen belonging to the family Caliciaceae. It exhibits a crustose growth type and is commonly found on well-lit, smooth bark, and worked timber surfaces. The species can tolerate moderate pollution.

Rhizoplaca chrysoleuca (orange rim lichen, rock-posy lichen, rockbright) is a pale yellowish-green to gray-green umbilicate foiliose lichen in the Lecanoraceae (rim lichen) family. It was first described in 1791 by English botanist Sir James Edward Smith as Lichen chrysoleucus; Friedrich Wilhelm Zopf transferred it to the genus Rhizoplaca in 1905. The single-leaf (monophyllous) umbilicate thallus can be 2–3.5 cm in width, with deep lobes. The thallus is relatively thick and lumpy with warts and lobules. The fruiting structures (apothecia have lightly pruinose, burnt-orange to tan discs

Leptogium menziesii is a species of jelly lichen in the family Collemataceae. This dark, foliose lichen typically forms broad, overlapping lobes with a felted, beard-like underside of hairs. Its thallus (lichen body) and fruiting rims are unornamented, and the bases of the discs and the tiny asexual structures (pycnidia) are hairy; these features help separate it from similar Antarctic and subantarctic species. It is chiefly a subantarctic species, with records from southern South America and several southern hemisphere islands.

Hypotrachyna laevigata is a species of foliose lichen belonging to the family Parmeliaceae. It has a cosmopolitan distribution.
