Physconia muscigena is a species of lichen in the family Physciaceae. It exhibits a foliose growth form with lobes that are generally ascending and concave at the tips.[1] The upper cortex is grey-brown to brown in color and often mostly to completely pruinose (or covered in calcium oxalate crystals known as pruina).[1]
Physconia muscigena is often found growing mosses, small plants (such as Selaginella), or detritus atop of soil or rock.[1] Its distribution is cosmopolitan, found on all continents including Antarctica.[2]
