Baeomyces placophyllus is a crustose lichen with a thick, squamulose thallus bearing distinctive, unbranched podetia topped with pale, flesh-colored apothecia. It inhabits bare, acidic mineral soils in open heathland, moorland, and alpine environments in temperate and boreal Europe. This lichen is considered endangered due to habitat loss from soil stabilization and grassland improvement.
