Punctelia is a leafy-looking mushroom that resembles a lichen. It primarily grows on tree bark and sometimes on rocks in various environments. Its body, or thallus, has a distinctive grey-green color and often features patterns that may include splotches or dots. Punctelia propagates through spores produced from fruiting bodies that are small and disc-shaped.
