Stereocaulon is a genus of lichens. Members of Stereocaulon are commonly called rock foam lichens.12 Photobiont partners of Stereocaulon include green algae from the genera Asterochloris, Chloroidium, and Vulcanochloris.3 Stereocaulon is difficult to ID to species, but there is a high diversity of species within the genus.
