Fuscopannaria granulifera

Fuscopannaria granulifera is a species of squamulose (scaley), corticolous (bark-dwelling) lichen in the family Pannariaceae.

Found in India, it was formally described as a new species in 2004 by Norwegian lichenologist Per Magnus Jørgensen.

The type specimen was collected from the Great Himalayan National Park (Himachal Pradesh) at an elevation of 3,140 m (10,300 ft).

It is only known to occur in the upper forests of western Himalayas.

F. granulifera is the only corticolous member of its genus that has a green algal photobiont; all others have a cyanobacterial photobiont.
