Lendemeriella nivalis is a species of muscicolous (moss-dwelling), crustose lichen in the family Teloschistaceae.[2] It was first formally described as a new species in 1853 by German lichenologist Gustav Wilhelm Körber, who called it Zeora nivalis. Sergey Kondratyuk transferred it to the newly created genus Lendemeriella in 2020.[3]

The lichen grows as a thin, skin-like to granular pale to dark grey crust, spreading over mosses. Its apothecia measure up to 0.7 mm in diameter, with a pale to dark grey thalline margin and an orange proper margin. Lendemeriella nivalis occurs in northern and central Europe, and North America.[4]
