Letharia columbiana (Brown-eyed Wolf Lichen) (Nutt.) J.W. Thomson 1969
fungi species in the parmeliaceae family
Letharia columbiana (common name brown-eye wolf lichen) is a common lichen in subalpine forests, particularly in the Pacific Northwest of the United States, and parts of Canada. It is in the family Parmeliaceae, and the genus Letharia. Its characteristics include a bright citron color, “brown-eyes”, and rounded, irregular branches. Though previously believed to lump together several lineages such as Letharia gracilis and others, there now exists more specific characteristics to identify the species. This lichen grows on the bark of conifers a couple inches tall. L. columbiana’s cousin,

Staurothele rugosa J.W. Thomson 1991
fungi species in the verrucariaceae family
Staurothele rugosa is a species of saxicolous (rock-dwelling) crustose lichen in the family Verrucariaceae. The species was first described in 1991 from specimens collected on sandstone at Dakota Ridge in Colorado. It forms a conspicuously rough, ashy gray crust made up of tightly packed, angular blocks that give the rock surface a corrugated, mosaic-like appearance. The lichen is found in the Rocky Mountain region of Colorado and Utah, growing on sandstone at elevations of around 5,400 to 6,000 feet.
