Lecanora viridipruinosa is a species of crustose lichen in the family Lecanoraceae.[2] Found in Alaska, it was formally described as a new species by lichenologists Måns Svensson and Toby Spribille. The type specimen was collected from the Hoonah-Angoon Census Area in Glacier Bay National Park. Here it was found growing on exposed argillite rock in an alpine heath at an elevation of 920 m (3,020 ft). The specific epithet viridipruinosa refers to the greenish pruina on the discs of the apothecia. The lichen is only known to occur in the type locality.[1]
