Parmelia Caperata
''Flavoparmelia caperata'', the common greenshield lichen, is a foliose lichen that corticolous lichen, grows on the bark of trees, and occasionally saxicolous lichen, on rock. Identification ''Flavoparmelia caperata'' is a medium to large foliose lichen that has a very distinctive pale yellow green upper cortex (botany), cortex when dry. The rounded lobes, measuring wide, usually have patches of granular Soredium, soredia arising from pustules. The lobes of the thallus may be smooth, but quite often have a wrinkled appearance especially in older specimens. The lower surface is black except for a brown margin; rhizoids attached to the lower surface are black and unbranched. Similar species The very similar ''Flavoparmelia baltimorensis'' grows mainly on rock and has globose, pustular outgrowths (somewhat similar to isidium, isidia) on the upper surface of the lobes, but does not produce granular soredium, soredia.
