About

Leproplaca proteus is a species of rock-dwelling, crustose lichen-forming fungus in the family Teloschistaceae. First described by Josef Poelt in 1953 from the Bavarian Alps, the lichen forms small orange crusts on shaded limestone and dolomite, with a radiating pattern of narrow lobes that break down into granular soredia toward the centre. It is known mainly from mountain districts across the Alps and the Carpathian Mountains.
