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

Found in China, it was formally described as a new species in 2007 by Norwegian lichenologist Per Magnus Jørgensen.

The type specimen was collected from Nyingchi-Dongjuk (southeastern Tibet) at an elevation of 4,430 m (14,530 ft); there, on a south-facing slope, it was found growing on the stems of Juniper.

The widely spread thallus of the lichen is made of dichotomously branched, brown squamules up to 2 mm (0.08 in) in diameter.

The squamules are imbricating, meaning they overlap each other; according to the author, they give the impression of a tiled roof reminiscent of stave churches in Norway.
