"Teloschistes chrysophthalmus" is a fruticose lichen with branching lobes. Their sexual structures, apothecia, are bright-orange with spiny projections situated around the rim. It has a global distribution, but is often localized and rare in many parts of its range. Colonies most often form along coastal areas.
