From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Letharia vulpina, commonly known as the wolf lichen (although the species name vulpina, from vulpine relates to the fox), is a fruticose lichenized species of fungus in the family Parmeliaceae.
Cladonia rangiferina, also known as reindeer lichen (c.p. Sw. renlav), lat. , is a light-colored, fruticose lichen belonging to the Cladoniaceae family.ound primarily in areas of alpine tundra, it is extremely cold-hardy. Other common names include reindeer moss and caribou moss, but these names may be misleading since it is not a moss. As the common names suggest, reindeer lichen is an important food for reindeer (caribou) , and has economic importance as a result.
