Degelia plumbea (also called blue felt lichen)[4] is a species of grey to blue-black or brown foliose lichen in the family Degelia.[5] It mostly grows on trees in undisturbed woodlands but occasionally on coastal rocks.[5][6] It is found widely in Britain and western Ireland as well as in America and Canada, as it grows in maritime Atlantic climates.[5][7][8]
D. plumbea is highly sensitive to acid rain and climatic changes.[9]
Degelia cyanoloma was previously thought to be a variant of D. plumbea.[10]
