Protoparmeliopsis muralis
Origin: Saint André en Vivarais
Ardèche - France - Altitude: 1000m

This crustose lichen has antioxidant, antimicrobial and anticancer properties.
It tolerates atmospheric pollution very well and can be found in urban environments on fiber cement and asphalt, where it resembles crushed chewing gum.
This does not mean that he does not prefer the pure air of our mountains.
