Lethariella cladonioides, locally known as lu xin xue cha (Chinese: 鹿心雪茶; pinyin: lù xīn xuě chá, literally "deer heart snow tea") or hong xue cha (Chinese: 红雪茶; pinyin: hóng xuě chá, literally "red snow tea"), is a fruticose lichenized species of fungus in the family Parmeliaceae. It is distributed throughout Southwest and Northwest China (including eastern Tibet, western Sichuan, northwestern Yunnan, southern Shaanxi, and northwestern Gansu), India, Nepal, Pakistan, and Kashmir[1].
