Xanthoria parietina is a common and widespread lichen-forming fungus in the family Teloschistaceae. Commonly known as the yellow wall lichen, common orange lichen, or maritime sunburst lichen, this leafy lichen is known for its vibrant yellow to orange coloration and environmental adaptability. First described by Carl Linnaeus in 1753, it has become one of the most thoroughly studied lichens, contributing significantly to scientific understanding of lichen biology. Unlike many lichens that are sensitive to pollution, X. parietina grows in diverse habitats—including coastal rocks, urban walls, and tree bark—even in areas with high levels of air pollution and excess nitrogen. Its structure consists of small, overlapping lobes that typically measure less than 8 cm (3+1⁄8 in) across, with coloration that varies from bright orange in sun-exposed locations to greenish-yellow in shaded environments.
