Identification & Classification
Color & Surface
Vibrant "highlighter yellow" scales. They turn greenish when wet because the yellow skin becomes see-through, revealing the green algae inside.
Shape & Form
A scaly "crust" made of tiny, flat tiles. It grows in irregular patches that look like cracked paint or a tiled floor on the ground.
Fruiting
Small, sunken black or reddish dots in the center of the scales. These act like "launch pads" to release the lichen's spores.
Growth Habitat & Substrate
Strictly soil-dwelling in dry areas. It grows on dirt or among mosses. Pro tip: if it's on a bare rock, it's a different species.

Care Requirements
Sunlight
Prefers bright, indirect sunlight or light shade, commonly found in open woodlands or forest edges.
Temperature
Thrives in warm to mild temperatures, ideally between 15–25°C.
Nutrient
Benefits from occasional feeding with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in spring.
Soil
Grows best in well-drained, sandy or loamy soils with organic matter.
Maintenance
Low-maintenance; remove old fronds and debris to encourage new growth.
Water
Requires moderate moisture; allow the soil to dry slightly between waterings.

Seasonal Behavior
Spring
Spring brings new fronds and active growth; ideal time for feeding and dividing clumps.
Autumn
Growth slows in autumn as temperatures drop; fronds may yellow and die back.
Winter
Dormant in winter, with fronds dying back in colder climates; mulch to protect roots.
Summer
Tolerates summer heat if watered regularly; prolonged drought may cause wilting.
