About Vulpicida juniperinus (L.) J.-E.Mattsson & M.J.Lai
Vulpicida juniperinus is a species of lichen in the Northern Hemisphere, with the common names rock sunshine lichen and yellow rock lichen. This lichen has a distinct bright yellow, coral-like growth form that grows on exposed ground, most often in Arctic or alpine regions. Scientists previously classified what is now Vulpicida juniperinus as three separate species. It is currently recognized as either a single species or a species complex that includes the formerly recognized species V. juniperinus, V. tilesii, and V. tubulosis.
