Athelia lichen typically grows on dead wood and occasionally on living plants. It forms thin, spreading patches that can appear white or pale gray. Athelia lichen is characterized by its resupinate form, meaning it grows flat against its substrate without a distinct cap or stem. It plays a role in the ecosystem by helping decompose organic material.
