Biatora chrysanthoides is a species of corticolous (bark-dwelling), leprose lichen in the family Ramalinaceae.
[1] It is found in Norway, the Pacific Northwest of northern North America,[2] Sweden,[3] and Russia.
[4] It was formally described as a new species in 2003 by the lichenologists Christian Printzen and Tor Tønsberg.
It contains gyrophoric acid in both the thallus and the apothecia (fruiting bodies), resulting in a C+ (quickly reddish) chemical spot test reaction.
