Diploschistes scruposus (crater lichen) is a pale gray to white, warty to cracked ( areolate) crustose lichen with black, urn-shaped ( urceolate) fruiting bodies ( apothecia). It is found worldwide on growing on rock ( saxicolous) that is siliceous, in open areas in Mediterranean, temperate and polar areas, from the low tropics to high altitudes. [1]: 265 [2] It is in the family Graphidaceae. In California, it is the most common member of the Diploschistes genus. It is not covered in a powdery white coating (epruinose), [1] which distinguishes it from other members of the genus. [2]
