Rock Tripe
Rock tripe is the common name for various lichens of the genus ''Umbilicaria'' that grow on rocks. They are widely distributed, including on bare rock in Antarctica, and throughout northern parts of North America such as New England and the Rocky Mountains. They are edible when properly prepared; soaking extensively and boiling with changes of water removes the bitterness and purgative properties. They have been used as a famine food in extreme cases when other food sources were unavailable, as by early American northern explorers. ''Umbilicaria esculenta'' is commonly used as a food in Asian cuisine and a restorative medicine in traditional Chinese medicine. It is called ''shi'er'' (石耳 "rock ear") in Chinese cuisine, ''iwatake'' (岩茸 "rock mushroom") in Japanese cuisine, and ''seogi'' (석이(石耳)) or ''seogibeoseot'' (석이버섯) in Korean cuisine.

Umbilicaria Deusta
''Umbilicaria deusta'', commonly known as peppered rock tripe, is a widely distributed species of saxicolous lichen in the family Umbilicariaceae. It was first described by Carl Linnaeus in his 1753 work ''Species Plantarum'' as ''Lichen polyphyllus''. German botanist Johann Christian Gottlob Baumgarten transferred it to the genus ''Umbilicaria'' in 1790. The lichen has a dark brown to nearly black thallus that typically measures in diameter. The upper surface is covered with tiny black dots that are granular isidia An isidium is a vegetative reproductive structure present in some lichens. Isidia are outgrowths of the thallus surface, and are corticated (i.e., containing the outermost layer of the thallus), usually with a columnar structure, and consisting o ...; the lower surface is the same colour as the upper surface, and is either smooth or covereds with dimples. It grows on exposed boulders and rocky outcrops. References deusta Lichen species Taxa named by Carl Li ...
