Golden Hair-lichen
Teloschistes flavicans
Teloschistes flavicans, also known as the golden hair-lichen is a lichenized species of fungus in the genus Teloschistes, family Teloschistaceae. Recognized by its saffron-coloured pigmentation, this widespread fruticose lichen grows on rocks and branches of trees. It was first named and scientifically described in 1788 by Swedish botanist, Olof Swartz, who called it Lichen flavicans. Johannes Norman transferred it to the genus Teloschistes in 1852.
